Lets first start this review with our camp host Randy. Randy was very welcoming, informative and attentive. He helped us locate our campsite and where to find restrooms. Randy was kind and overall an awesome person. Thank you Randy!The campsite was clean, roomy, private and the river was close by. Bathrooms were close by as well and clean. We will definitely be coming back to this campsite in the near future for another beautiful and relaxing time in Kern.

Our directions to the campgrounds were so poor that we ended up over two hours off course. Instead of driving on for another two hours we booked another place and stayed locally. It is the first time we have ever missed a recreation.gov stay. We will try again another year.

Our site was clean when we arrived. The camp host was very friendly and the campground wasn’t crowded. Excellent time 😊

Love Headquarters Campground! we've gone now 4 times in last 3 years. We love Loop C all the back sites. We use site 13 the most. Great access to the river. It's our own little oasis. The grounds are clean and hosts are great. We have never had any problems. We brought our grandkids and nephews this visit. This site is great for the kids. they can play in the water without worrying about the rapids on the other side of "island". We are making this our annual vacation spot.

Headquarters CG is an easy to find, close to town type of camping area, that sits on the beautiful Kern River.
You get to experience the sun setting behind the monstrous mountain and waking to the sun rising over a boulder-like hill.
Stargazing is fantastic, it's quiet and relaxing. I did not get the Host's name, but He was awesome.
We'll be back in the Summer.
