Great campground. The host, Randy, was extremely helpful with a mix-up in my campsite number. A peaceful and relaxing environment!

The campground is not bad at all. However, there was so much trash around our camp. It's a shared responsibility between the campers when they use the spots and the host to clean up after campers who have missed the mark. I would go again but would try to reserve the sites that are shadded by trees in the middle of the Camp ground.

We had a group of 10, so we were lucky enough to reserve sites #11 & #14. It worked out perfectly because the two sites were side by side, and near the restroom. The restroom was far enough where it didn’t bother us with other campers walking by, nor did it smell. The restroom was clean and was stocked daily by the friendly camp host. The only downside was it was a single standing vault restroom.
Our sites were also close enough to the river, maybe 100 feet(?) The water was still flowing pretty heavily and high, so we couldn’t really get in. We weren’t too far from Isabella Lake either, so we took the short drive and got in the water there.
We did venture into town on Sunday for Father’s Day. Kernville is a short 3-4 mile drive from the campground and you can always pick up last minute or forgotten supplies.
There is no cell service at the campground, but only a short distance (.5 mi) to the closest store there is.
Our group will definitely be coming back to Headquarters campground. Hopefully the water will be at a safer level and flow to jump in the next time.
