Kern Valley Airport Campground is open all year with approximately 10 tent spots.  This is primarily a fly-in campground.  It's the nicest one Campbase has ever seen.  Aircraft can park right at the campground.  There are tie-downs and wheel chocks available.  The campground has a nice grassy area with picnic tables and fire rings.  Water and one electrical outlet are available.  Tenters camp on green grass with tall pine trees all around.  The Kern River is just a short walk from the campground.  Make sure to bring a fishing pole.  The campground is primarily a "fly-in" campground.  It's the perfect place to fly-in to fly-fish.  There are no individual camp sites, it's a big group area.  

 

The city bus stops at the entrance to the airport.  The bus goes to Kernville.  There is also a small cafe located at the airport.
