Our camp area is right next to our home. We live on 2 acres which is apart of our families 500 acre ranch and home to a summer camp and retreats. There are nice hiking trails we can direct you to as long as the National Forest isn't closed. We have a few picnic tables, outdoor electrical, a grill, fresh spring water, water hook up and beautiful scenery all around. We do own a few ca. Our space isn’t huge but we are happy to share.
We live in a remote area and its beautiful and quiet. There is a local town 6 miles down the road that has several places to eat and one small place to get some grocery.
This property that we live on has been lived on now by 4 generations. My grandpa bought this land with his brother in 1940s. His brother eventually sold his portion leaving my grandpa with a little over 500 acres...We also run retreats off and on year round on the main property and offer a wide variety of things for our clients. Due to COVID, and the strange year had, we thought that this would help us gain a little of our money lost as well as meet some really cool travelers along the way.
We call this God's country because it is a unique and beautiful peace of land, even in the driest of moments. And...there is beautiful manzanita trees all over property.
We personally live 1/2 mile from the main part of the property Jameson Ranch, where the summer camp is held. I love to garden and are in the process of expanding our portion of the property to putting in fruit orchards and berry bushes.
Our whole property also borders the Sequoia National Forest and there are some fun walking trails around there. Its very peaceful here and a reconnect with nature so to speak if that is what you are looking for.
We hope to share this little bit of our heaven with you.
Side note:
If interested in the summer time programs for kids camp or family camp, let us know and we are happy to share that with you too.

Underworld Farms is a small goat ranch in the Kern River Valley. Surrounded by forestry land, on the Kern River, and on top of what used to be the old town of Whiskey Flat (Later re-named Kernville). There is no end to the beauty, history and adventure all around the property. Life took us to the Kern River Valley after moving out of Los Angeles. We enjoy living in the Southern Sierras immersed in all its natural beauty. The small but magnificent town of Kernville is approximately two and a half miles north of us.
Our livestock includes horses, dairy goats, sheep, and rabbits: Most of which are raised and bred as our son's 4H or FFA projects. You may be wondering why our farm is called "Underworld Farms". In a nutshell, since our ranch is on the footprint of the historic town of Whiskey Flat, we just happen to be south of the old Whiskey Flat "Boot Hill" Cemetery. Our "driveway" is the road that led from the old town of Kernville to the cemetery.
We hope that you consider parking your RV, van conversion, or trailer on one of our customized spots on the property. Or drive your vehicle and pitch a tent on one of our tent friendly sports. Or enjoy a stay in one of our small cabins. Regardless of what you stay in, you will definitely have a memorable time.
The campground is VERY barebones and rural. Critters, bugs, and sometimes fellow Hipcampers can be sparce or prevalent pretty randomly. Because Underworld Farms is a working ranch, you will probably hear livestock noises like horses neighing, sheep and goats calling, and our protector dogs barking from time to time. We encourage you to walk over to the horses and goats and meet them. They especially like when you bring them carrots or apple pieces.
The ranch has a double outhouse with a hand washing station sandwiched in between, it is rustic and bare bones. We check it to see if it has paper products, soap, water, and plenty of room in the trash bins. During the hotter months, the "daddy longleg" spiders enjoy infiltrating the outhouses and seem to spin new webs overnight. But they and their webs are harmless and easy to brush off. We ask for your assistance if there is something missing, or the trash needs taking out, or if the spiders have taken over again by getting ahold of us through the Hipcamp App and letting us know.
With all that being said, there is an ambient beauty here that is unbelievable and memorable. This beauty and draw is so powerful that it causes the many people who come visit to make arrangements to live in our little valley. There is much to do in and around our valley that you couldn't do it all in a lifetime. We hope that you come and stay at the ranch while enjoying our valley. May you have a great time.

Welcome to Three Rivers Nature Lodge Preserve, a 66-acre wildlife habitat nestled in the oak woodlands at the gateway to Sequoia National Park.
This private sanctuary offers a serene escape characterized by vibrant native wildflowers, several ponds, and stunning mountain backdrops. Located within a 30-minute drive of the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park entrance, it serves as an ideal home base for exploring the high Sierras while providing a quiet space to connect with nature.
The property features two distinct sites designed for different camping styles. Fairy Glen is a secluded tent-only site tucked under a lush oak canopy near a riparian zone filled with willow and fig trees.
To maintain the tranquility of the area, this site is a short walk from the lodge, and a wagon is provided to help transport your gear down the scenic path. For those traveling with vehicles or looking for more space, the Oak Meadow Event Space offers a wide, sun-drenched area perfect for van camping or small RVs under 20 feet. This site includes a stage often used for outdoor yoga and music, offering a unique "basecamp" feel with direct vehicle access via a dirt road (4WD recommended).
Both sites offer access to potable water and toilets, though please note that there are no showers or electrical hookups, and campfires are not permitted to protect the preserve.
Whether you are here to hike the nearby national parks, enjoy the local birdlife, or simply stargaze from the meadow, the Three Rivers Nature Lodge Preserve offers a pristine slice of California’s mountain landscape. Friendly pets are welcome to join you on your adventure.

Located in the Sierra Nevada foothills on route to Sequoia National Park makes our location very convenient. This is agricultural land which mainly grow citrus, nuts and other tree crops. Citrus groves have windmachines for frost protection and if the nighttime temperature dips below 36 degrees, they start up automatically. This can be noisy depending on how severe the frost threat is to the crops. We are 5 minutes from great restaurants and 45 minutes from Sequioa National Park.

Our camp area is right next to our home. We live on 2 acres which is apart of our families 500 acre ranch and home to a summer camp and retreats. There are nice hiking trails we can direct you to as long as the National Forest isn't closed. We have a few picnic tables, outdoor electrical, a grill, fresh spring water, water hook up and beautiful scenery all around. We do own a few ca. Our space isn’t huge but we are happy to share.
We live in a remote area and its beautiful and quiet. There is a local town 6 miles down the road that has several places to eat and one small place to get some grocery.
This property that we live on has been lived on now by 4 generations. My grandpa bought this land with his brother in 1940s. His brother eventually sold his portion leaving my grandpa with a little over 500 acres...We also run retreats off and on year round on the main property and offer a wide variety of things for our clients. Due to COVID, and the strange year had, we thought that this would help us gain a little of our money lost as well as meet some really cool travelers along the way.
We call this God's country because it is a unique and beautiful peace of land, even in the driest of moments. And...there is beautiful manzanita trees all over property.
We personally live 1/2 mile from the main part of the property Jameson Ranch, where the summer camp is held. I love to garden and are in the process of expanding our portion of the property to putting in fruit orchards and berry bushes.
Our whole property also borders the Sequoia National Forest and there are some fun walking trails around there. Its very peaceful here and a reconnect with nature so to speak if that is what you are looking for.
We hope to share this little bit of our heaven with you.

If interested in the summer time programs for kids camp or family camp, let us know and we are happy to share that with you too.

Underworld Farms is a small goat ranch in the Kern River Valley. Surrounded by forestry land, on the Kern River, and on top of what used to be the old town of Whiskey Flat (Later re-named Kernville). There is no end to the beauty, history and adventure all around the property. Life took us to the Kern River Valley after moving out of Los Angeles. We enjoy living in the Southern Sierras immersed in all its natural beauty. The small but magnificent town of Kernville is approximately two and a half miles north of us.
Our livestock includes horses, dairy goats, sheep, and rabbits: Most of which are raised and bred as our son's 4H or FFA projects. You may be wondering why our farm is called "Underworld Farms". In a nutshell, since our ranch is on the footprint of the historic town of Whiskey Flat, we just happen to be south of the old Whiskey Flat "Boot Hill" Cemetery. Our "driveway" is the road that led from the old town of Kernville to the cemetery.
We hope that you consider parking your RV, van conversion, or trailer on one of our customized spots on the property. Or drive your vehicle and pitch a tent on one of our tent friendly sports. Or enjoy a stay in one of our small cabins. Regardless of what you stay in, you will definitely have a memorable time.
The campground is VERY barebones and rural. Critters, bugs, and sometimes fellow Hipcampers can be sparce or prevalent pretty randomly. Because Underworld Farms is a working ranch, you will probably hear livestock noises like horses neighing, sheep and goats calling, and our protector dogs barking from time to time. We encourage you to walk over to the horses and goats and meet them. They especially like when you bring them carrots or apple pieces.
The ranch has a double outhouse with a hand washing station sandwiched in between, it is rustic and bare bones. We check it to see if it has paper products, soap, water, and plenty of room in the trash bins. During the hotter months, the "daddy longleg" spiders enjoy infiltrating the outhouses and seem to spin new webs overnight. But they and their webs are harmless and easy to brush off. We ask for your assistance if there is something missing, or the trash needs taking out, or if the spiders have taken over again by getting ahold of us through the Hipcamp App and letting us know.
With all that being said, there is an ambient beauty here that is unbelievable and memorable. This beauty and draw is so powerful that it causes the many people who come visit to make arrangements to live in our little valley. There is much to do in and around our valley that you couldn't do it all in a lifetime. We hope that you come and stay at the ranch while enjoying our valley. May you have a great time.

Welcome to Three Rivers Nature Lodge Preserve, a 66-acre wildlife habitat nestled in the oak woodlands at the gateway to Sequoia National Park.
This private sanctuary offers a serene escape characterized by vibrant native wildflowers, several ponds, and stunning mountain backdrops. Located within a 30-minute drive of the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park entrance, it serves as an ideal home base for exploring the high Sierras while providing a quiet space to connect with nature.
The property features two distinct sites designed for different camping styles. Fairy Glen is a secluded tent-only site tucked under a lush oak canopy near a riparian zone filled with willow and fig trees.
To maintain the tranquility of the area, this site is a short walk from the lodge, and a wagon is provided to help transport your gear down the scenic path. For those traveling with vehicles or looking for more space, the Oak Meadow Event Space offers a wide, sun-drenched area perfect for van camping or small RVs under 20 feet. This site includes a stage often used for outdoor yoga and music, offering a unique "basecamp" feel with direct vehicle access via a dirt road (4WD recommended).
Both sites offer access to potable water and toilets, though please note that there are no showers or electrical hookups, and campfires are not permitted to protect the preserve.
Whether you are here to hike the nearby national parks, enjoy the local birdlife, or simply stargaze from the meadow, the Three Rivers Nature Lodge Preserve offers a pristine slice of California’s mountain landscape. Friendly pets are welcome to join you on your adventure.

We had a wonderful stay at this RV park on Lake Olancha. What really stood out was how peaceful and secluded it felt—it never got too busy, which made it easy to truly relax and enjoy the surroundings.
One of our favorite perks was the easy, no-hassle access to boats and paddleboards. Being able to grab them anytime without needing to sign up or check in made the experience feel effortless and fun. Our twin 7-year-old boys especially loved exploring the area, and spotting frogs at night quickly became a highlight of the trip.
The location is also a big plus. It’s just a short drive to Lone Pine, with great access to hiking and the Alabama Foothills, making it a perfect base for outdoor adventures.
The office staff and host were warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay, which added to the welcoming atmosphere. And a small but important detail—the WiFi actually worked well, which is always appreciated when you’re on the road.
A couple of areas could use some improvement: the dock areas feel a bit outdated, and the zip line was unfortunately out of service during our visit. That said, these didn’t take away too much from an otherwise serene and enjoyable experience.
Overall, a peaceful, family-friendly spot that we’d happily return to.

Stayed here with my small trailer and it was a great experience. Staff were super friendly and the views were great. Water and power easily accessible at the site and the grounds were well maintained and clean. Alabama hills isn’t too far of a drive if you want to get some hiking in and if you want to get to Death Valley it’s about an hour to an hour and a half. Took me 2ish hours to reach bad water basin which is deep in the park but there are closer attractions within the park. Over great experience even if you just want a place to rest and relax.

Belknap Campground
The campsites require a walk-in with a wheelbarrow, but they're quite private when you arrive. Do bring bear spray, as there was reported cougar activity nearby. The hot springs are actually a pool where the water is piped in and it's pleasant. It's possible to take river rafting from the lodge, and it's such a treat! And walking the gardens is magical and you'll often have them all to yourself, perfect for a picnic. Would highly recommend. I would totally go here again, it's just a really long drive from Portland and hard to get to for just a weekend. Stay longer if you make the drive!

This campground is okay, It seems most folks just stop by for a ight on there way somewhere else. There are some good sites with shade, table and fire ring. Flush restrooms that need updating. It's close to the lake for fishing or kayaking. The road is close so you hear a lot of traffic and the price is what I consider ridiculous at 34 dollars a night. I'll give it a 5 in the summer heat and wind and 6-7 in cooler weather.

I took a motorcycle trip the back way to Alder creek campground today. Hwy 155 is currently closed. There is basically nothing left of the campground other than the bridge over the creek and the bathrooms. We did not attempt to go into them, very dilapidated. There were however an abundant crop of blackberries. Most high clearance vehicles (maybe a Subaru) could make it in from the Rancheria Road Side. Evans campground right on Rancheria Rd. is way nicer though.

This camp ground is a okay set up but what makes it bad is the camp host that goes around harassing people and then he actually took a pic of my daughter that was laying in the tent saying he was going to report her to forest ranger just because she told him that me and her dad was out jet skiing and it wasn’t noon yet and she didn’t know if we was staying or leaving and mind you this was at around 10:15 am which if we didn’t want to stay (which we didn’t due to this man) had to be out of the campsite by noon. So I really didn’t like how he did that and I made a complaint about him taking pics of my daughter . My husband and I are so upset with Paradise Cove Camp Host that we will never go there again

Stayed with a small group at site 36, which is a large site with a parking area that can fit 3 cars. We set up 3 large tents, 2 hammocks, plus a lot of cooking equipment, and still had room for more! There's a trail that leads down to the creek right from the site, which we used each day to cool down in the water. Very dog friendly - our group's pups enjoyed themselves too. Vault toilets are clean and the toilet paper was abundant. The price is very reasonable.
Now for the downsides...it was extremely buggy and the people are other sites were loud (driving ATVs and shooting guns).

I've camped at Alder creek many times beginning in the late 70's, it used to be a great place to go when it wasn't to hot but now there is nothing left, years ago the forest service pulled out the tables and fire rings, they allowed loggers to clear out the dead trees and they destroyed the campground, left trees lying over the campsites, never put the tables back nor the fire rings. They turned it into a fire hazard, the toilets are falling down. It's a total shame. I was just there on 9/1/2020 and was 100% disappointed . the forest service is destroying all the small out of the way campgrounds.

There is no campground at alder creek any more, tables gone, a lot of trees cut and laying all over, the outhouses are falling apart, it's a mess. I used to camp there in spring and fall and it was a good place. The forest service is letting these small campgrounds go back to nature I guess.

This is one of the most beautiful places to camp. I have been going here since I was a kid. Right on the Tule River where you can trout fish. All night you can hear the sound of the river rushing by. Other than that it is quiet and serene. Campsites are big and spread out. You need a fire permit for campfires. Minimal parking which is good because it keeps the camping population to a minimum. In peak season you absolutely need reservations. No showers or flush toilets but there are spigots for filling up your water containers. I can’t say enough about how much I love this place. Towed RVs and large motor homes are simply not allowed; there is no place to park them or turn around. In other words, this is a no glamp campground.

I stayed with a small group at a tent-camping site towards the back of the grounds. Immediately across the street from the campsite is the Trail of 100 Giants. This "Trail" is more of a walking path, but it was still cool to see and worth checking out. Expect to do a bit of driving to get to the more challenging and less crowded hiking spots. A stream runs around the campground, and there is a large meadow adjacent to the campsite. No running water available, but there are pit toilets. No cell service (to me, this is a positive). I enjoyed my stay thoroughly and would return/recommend.

The Southern Sierra is being overrun by city folks. Last weekend huge piles of trash were left. The ranger put out over 20 abandoned fires. I witnessed human feces on a log over Peppermint Creek. Places I went to as a teen in the 70s have been discovered by crowds who have no idea how to clean up after themselves. Tagging with spray paint, empty plastic bottles, food wrappers, diapers, piles of shit.
Don’t go here. It’s unsafe.

Your photos aren't of Quaking Aspen Campground. There is no lake, there is no waterfall. I've been to the campground a few dozen times. It's not the campground you've pictured.

One of the few campgrounds which we have repeated. Very close to the tule river. Highly recommended!

Probably my second favorite Sierra campground, this used to be massive sequoia forest that was logged in the late 1800's, which is now rebounded with young 100ft sequoia "saplings" and the stumps of their ancient parents. No cell reception, but close to Grant grove and hume lake, as well as great shade coverage, picnic tables, fire rings, water, pit toilets, bear boxes, and some trails near by. Great place for Kings Canyon NP.

Camped at Sandy Flats July 2018, campsites are very close together, not too many flats spots for tents, access to the river was not good, only two places and due to the campground being full it was very crowded at these two places, not much shade (tress), not easy to navigate for long trailers.

Definitely, worth the drive! Quiet, clean and gorgeous.
A few things to note:
• There are pit toilets but they’re well maintained
• It was about 10 to 15 degrees cooler than what the weather apps said it would be. (It could be just a change in the weather when I visited but one may wish to plan for it being a little cooler if it’s late in the season.)
• No cell reception
• No nearby stores
• Potable water is available (but recommend filtering anyway … always filter!)
All of that said, pack wisely, allow for extra time on the roads around the campsite and it’ll be an epic time.

Great campsite between King's Canyon and Sequoia National park. Close to Hume lake where we got to swim.

There are lots of wasps and bees at this campground and they love to show up mornings when you 're making breakfast. Insect repellent candle worked great.

Every year we camp in Kernville during November it’s a perfect time to avoid the river traffic, beat the heat and swing by Kern River Brewing to pick up a case of their Citra. We enjoy having the campgrounds to ourselves during this time as well. This campground is near the river so bring your fishing pole, and there is also a trail nearby. We hiked up to a cave at the top; be careful because when we went it appeared someone was sleeping there and was there recently.

We love this campsite; there is a nearby trail head that will lead you to waterfalls, if you hike bring lots of water and be prepared to hike ten miles round trip. If a perfect location to get away for the weekend and enjoy the peace and quiet of the outdoors.

This campsite is in a very remote part of Sequoia. There's only one road in and out until you hit the fork in the road that takes you to the Trail of 100 Giants Trailhead. It was a great campsite to spend the weekend. Peppermint Falls is a must see, but it's a bit unmarked getting there. You'll have to do some exploring which I find is the best part of being in nature.
