Corral Creek Campground

Corral Creek Dispersed Camping offers free, first-come, first-served riverside camping along the North Fork of the Kern River with portable toilets and trash service available during summer months.

Located approximately 9 miles north of Kernville, the site features direct river access ideal for paddling and fishing, plus an adjacent picnic area with a small beach for day use.

Campers must bring their own water, and camping/campfires are prohibited within 25 feet of the water's edge due to the river's Wild and Scenic designation; glass containers are also prohibited throughout the area.
