I love the ease of access of this campground and camping right next to the Kern River. I camped at site 007 in February and despite the cold weather, the smell from the bathroom next to the site was still pretty strong. It wasnt a big problem since I was away from the site during the day - I imagine the smell would be worse in the warmer months. The site will be fine, just find things to do elsewhere during the day.

I love Headquarters Campground and have been going since the 80's. It would be great to see flush toilets installed. Or seal up the very old toilets and make new ones.The camp host is FANTASTIC, keeps up with the toilets.

We finally got to stay here. This campground is close to everything. If I had a choice I would have opt for a riverfront site. I wasn't sure if we could pitch tents there but some sites you definitely can. Our site 7 and it looked pretty small on the map but once you get there, it actually is one of the best spots. It's close to the bathroom which didn't smell and we didn't hear much noise from. We got to pitch our tents under this group of trees that acted as shelter over our tents and made it private. Table they had on-site is pretty old. Plenty of space from others at this site compared to the other ones. Sites are generally pretty close to each other. Only downside was our neighbor on 8. Super loud and obnoxious. Got there after 10pm to set up and they were loud until 1 or 2pm. You can tell they don't give an f and they don't have camper etiquette. They also brought a baby who cried nonstop. Protip: bring earplugs.

I always plan a family camping trip at Headquarters. It is clean, the groundskeeper is always very nice and informative.
