Located in the national sequoia forest, Havilah pines homestead is a unique place, we are in the middle of a canyon, rural and remote but not too remote, do note that there is no cell service here but we do offer wifi service for a fee. the closest town and Lake is about 20 minutes away. we have the cleanest air in Kern, blue skies most days and stars during the night like you have never seen them in the city! it can get toasty during the day, but once that sun goes behind the mountain it cools off that some times you want to put something on! We are a micro farm growing organic food and practicing non GMO sustainable organic farming methods even our animals eat only organic non GMO feed, among our livestock are chickens, turkeys and guinea fowl, they happily free range on the homestead and produce delicious eggs, if you haven't eaten eggs like free range ones then you must try them! the taste is light years different than the store bought ones... It is a quite and peaceful place(except the roosters and guineas), at night you hear crickets and frogs and early in the morning wake up to a pleasant tune of wild bird's symphony.

We stopped on the way to Sequoia National Forest. It is a beautiful and quiet area. Danny was very responsive and helpful with water and electricity for our rv. Thanks for having us!

10/10 recommend this spot

We loved the shaded camp site! We had 2 separate cars and 2 small tents on site but the site could have accommodated 1-2 more small tents or 2 large. The fire pit was perfect for grilling including the grill top that Danny provided and the ability to buy wood that burned slowly. We enjoyed the freshly laid eggs for breakfast. The on site hose and long sitting bench were a treat, and we appreciated the compost toilet. It was a 20 minute drive to Remington Hot Springs where we dipped into the Kern river to cool off. We drove a Volkswagen Golf and Toyota Avalon and had zero issues getting to the site, just got slowly! Danny and his brother Joseph were welcoming and easy to connect with. Would absolutely stay here again, and wish we'd had a second night!

This site had lots of trees and shade, and it was nice to be around the sheep, chickens, and other farm animals. It was also nice to be at a camp outside the Kern River valley since it was about 10 degrees cooler. About a 25 minute drive into Kernville, we headed down each day for river activities…

Camping here was a breeze. Even in the hot summer months. The site is under a big tree that protects you from the sun. I’d stay here again.
