Brush Creek Dispersed Campground

Brush Creek Dispersed Campground offers free, year-round camping at the confluence of Brush Creek and the Upper Kern River, approximately 15 miles north of Kernville, with vault toilets and seasonal trash service available.

Campers must maintain at least 50 feet distance from Brush Creek's water's edge and 25 feet from any water due to Wild and Scenic River designations, and free campfire permits are required year-round.

The site is popular for fishing and water activities like swimming and non-motorized boating, though no drinking water is available and cell service is absent.
