Service was EXCELLENT. Nice place with just about all I needed.

Campground was fine, cabin wasn’t that clean. When speaking with office staff about my family’s travels, I was asked: “were there a lot of gay people in Key West?”, which, as member of the queer community, was very off-putting.

DO NOT STAY HERE!The water is not potable, and NO ONE INFORMED US OF THAT WHEN WE CHECKED IN! There is trash everywhere, and old chicken bones that I had to constantly pull out of my doggo's mouth. I never saw one site being cleaned, and I had to pull jagged tent stakes out of our site before I backed in. The pool was green and disgusting. Playground is dangerous-splintered wood & screws stick out

It was a great stay. Our cabin was cozy, and we had our own porch swing. We forgot our cooking stove, so the kampers kitchen was really helpful! We were less than 20 minutes from Miracle Hot Springs and whitewater rafting on the Kern River. Our son had a blast running around the campground Splash pad, too. Pretty view, comfy, clean, affordable. I’d recommend this KOA to families for sure �

Our stay at this campground was ok. Didn’t mention water wasn’t potable prior to check-in, sewer hookup ran uphill, and absolutely no enforcement of quiet hours. Also, refused to rent a cabin for one night (two-night minimum) despite all of them being empty. Such a bummer. Kids loved the playground and the staff was friendly, so all-in an ok stay.

Staff was very courteous. They had free ice cream at certain times. We tented. They say they are strict about quiet time. They are not. The spot we had ended up being between two camp sites full of parting individuals. The music ended at 10:45pm and the load talking using bad language didn't end until after midnight. Their camp lights were on all night. The mens room was terrible, dirty, etc....

Beautiful area with plenty to do if you like to be outdoors! Quiet campground, but there is a lot of trash around. Definitely recommend.

Probably one of the friendliest and most engaged owners of all the KOAs I have been too. This KOA is quiet and quaint. He suggested a good site for us and moved us to a better one without us asking if we could have it, was super friendly every time I came into the store for something, and topped off our propane for us. Overall the customer service was just stellar. Bigger is not always better. Th

Great customer service, friendly people. First time that a campground offers pancakes for breakfast free, my grand kids love them thank you so much we will definitely camp back with you guys.

If you like miles & miles of dirt, sand & dust around you then this is the place for you. There’s nothing to do. There’s a very green pool & a muddied attached jacuzzi. There’s others campers trash flying around. People here like to ride their ATV’s (which is great & I wish I had one) which creates even MORE dust & sand storms. They had Pancake Sunday which was cool, the dog park is nice

The campground has a good layout and the accommodations (store, pool, etc.) are good, but the location on Rt 178 is not great. There is no convenient access to the lake or river. Additionally, the camp ground dump station is out of order, which made check out from a non-dump spot difficult, They up charged me for the entire stay to use a station at a full service site.

Stay was just ok, only one unisex bathroom, and large group loud parting all night long. No enforcement of quiet hours. Not the KOA’s fault but the wind never stops blowing dust

Great experience and service and location! Only “complaint” is that I called many times and wasn’t able to reach anyone and didn’t receive a call back for a few hours but overall I would stay with them again in a heartbeat

Très bon camping , les terrains sont larges, le personnel souriant et c'est propre. Je le recommande, merci.

Overall the experience is fun and enjoyable. I have nothing bad to say. Nice campsites. Nice staff. The campground looks a bit worn down in some places but the amenities are nice to have. I’ve stayed here twice and will be back.

I take my family to camp walden-Lake Isabella/ Kern River KOA 2 times per year & we make great memories. The fun-tivities: Ice Cream and pancake breakfast were the cherry on top. The staff are all so kind to my family and I. Stephanie and another young lady were amazing with my children and dog. Can't wait to go back! :)

Situated in the Kern valley makes a peaceful place to stay with the mountains as a backdrop. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the sites are well shaded. We found it very relaxing.

Free pancakes were awesome and the view was killer. Bathrooms were being remodeled so using only women's bathroom, which is fine ,but at least keep the hand drying towels and soap filled.

Our spots were plenty wide for our trailer and tow vehicle. Convenient location to Kern River and surrounding towns. Plenty of trash cans available, however general litter was present. Examples are chicken and other bones that my dog gravitated to, cigarette buds, general plastic bottle tops and beer caps. Saloon was good and staff very friendly.

Ce Koa n’est pas comme ce à quoi nous sommes habitués mais c’est correct pour arrêter une nuit. Bon accueil.

Great spot between the cottages for a smaller RV. Friendly staff and the laundry facilities worked well. The campground is a bit far from the lake.

The advertised Ice cream social was not available and the Sunday morning pancake breakfast that was not available either. Not a big thing yet if it is offered, it should be available. The staff did find some ice cream but it was not what is used to be.

The campground is rough around the edges. The staff were amazing and very helpful. There is some work being done to update the facilities but the whole site needs a lot of work to update.

Nice flat tent site restrooms were under construction butthr remodel was outstanding. Staff was very good �

We were told that they had one restroom that was unisex been over six months. The restroom location was on the other side of the site from the regular cabin we were staying in. My wife said that she had a bladder condition and the man that checked us in said to her that she had a problem and laughed about it. The restrooms were always in use by someone. We drove to the lake to use the restrooms.

No TV reception or cable. Advertised pancake breakfast was cancelled.

The back-in sites are small, but they are level and well-maintained. The camp is off the lake, so you don't get the constant wind. It backs up to a wash where there is animal life, mostly birds, to entertain you. They have just refurbished the womens room and will soon be done with the mens room, so that is nice. The pool looked inviting, but we did not go in.

Cute cabins/staff was very friendly. Beds were extremely uncomfortable. Terrible bathroom situation. One restroom. Host was encouraging people to lock the main door behind them, meaning one person at a time. Lines would form esp. when folks took showers. I really had to go many times and couldn't. Plus was late in the morning when I couldn't get in to shower. Please don't lock the main door!

The campground was very quite and relaxing. The mens restroom was very disappointing.

This place is beautiful to camp at. We woke up right next to the mountains. Everyone respects the noise level and showers are hot. They have a shop there for most camping needs, and the lake is super close !
