1 Tent + 1 Car are permitted per Site, with the exception of Site 4 which allows 2 tents/2 cars. If you are a large group with multiple tents and families, you will need to book multiple sites.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at this campsite near Olancha. The property is peaceful, quiet, and incredibly relaxing, with beautiful views of the Sierra Nevada mountains and plenty of space to spread out and enjoy nature. One of our favorite parts was all the birdlife around the lake and campground. There was always something interesting to watch in the mornings and evenings.
The hosts were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and responsive, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The grounds were clean, well-maintained, and clearly cared for with pride. The combination of the serene setting, abundant wildlife, and warm hospitality made this a perfect place to unwind and disconnect from the stresses of everyday life.
If you’re looking for a clean, peaceful camping experience with great hosts and beautiful surroundings, this is an excellent choice. We would happily stay here again.

My fiancé and I had an absolute blast staying at Spirit Walk. John was so welcoming, friendly, generous, and helpful. The camp grounds are well maintained, the cooking area is fantastic and full of all the necessary utensils and cookware. The creek was not only beautiful, but offered a very peaceful retreat within the campsite. We spent our first night cooking and talking with other guests, as well as, John. It felt like camping at a friend’s campsite, like you’ve been there before. John made the whole experience very comfortable and I really couldn’t recommend Spirit Walk enough. The way it’s spaced out, there’s a feeling of privacy, while still being a part of the larger campsite. The actual nature around you is not only beautiful, but very peaceful. I had a lovely moment swimming in the creek in the morning. That’s the closest I’ve felt to nature in a long time, and I’m very grateful for that. If you’re debating it, I’d say go for it, this place is special.

First, as everyone else says on here, John is a fantastic host, we really appreciated his hospitality. He has put a lot of effort in making his place meet all the campers needs.
Here’s need to know.
We booked site 8 but moved to site 6 because our truck was too tall for the trees. Site 8 is great for smaller cars and tents as it’s close to the bathroom and entrance.
I’d say if you’re camping with a large vehicle and or large tent, try to get sites 1, 2, or 6. 1 is close to the outhouse, sink and showers.
John has made a nice outhouse area, and even though they’re outhouses, they don’t smell because he has motion sensor light and ventilation fans inside. Showers do cost extra but are definitely worth it, and they’re nice and hot! He also keeps a freezer down there with extra bags of ice.
There is quite a bit of wind, so anchor your things. It was in the 80s when we were there but it was quite cool in the shade with the wind and nice breeze. But if you have any respiratory issues, the wind and dryness may be an issue.
I would not recommend this for large RV/motorhomes but medium to small camping works great!
Lastly, no cell service at the camps but if you walk up the hill a bit, you get service and great views!
We will be back!

We had such a great stay at this campground! TJ welcomed us so nicely and even brought us firewood immediately, which we really appreciated. The bathrooms and showers were clean and well kept, making everything really comfortable. We also loved all the free things available to use, like the little boats and grill area. The cute little bridge added such a nice touch to the campground and made it feel extra special. Overall, such a peaceful and enjoyable experience ,we would definitely come back!

I stayed at the cabin on John's property. The land is gorgeous with great views. The cabin is amazing. It's really well-built, clean, organized. John really cares about his place. The bed is a pull out bed, pretty comfortable but definitely bring another pad if you like a more cushioned surface. There is a heater that does a great job keeping the place warm. A fair sized fridge with freezer, as well as a larger freezer in the camp kitchen area. The BBQ was super clean and works well. Ditto with the restroom. I didn't try the showers but they looked awesome. There is plenty of seating inside and out. The views are gorgeous. You'll see the sunset, stars, and sunrise from your bed. The description on here is exactly how it is. Just beware of GPS sending you the wrong way!!

Staying on Merediths farm was a wonderful experience. The provided amenities were excellent and the campsites were well maintained. We were greeted by the two dogs when we arrived who were both very sweet and protective. There are farm animals on the property that you can feed from the provided feeders. Before leaving we were able to spend some time near the pond and kayak on the water. I would highly recommend this place and would be happy to stay again if we get the opportunity!
