Headquarters Campground provides year-round access to the North Fork Kern River with 44 sites including riverfront locations under oak, juniper, and cottonwood trees, accommodating RVs up to 27 feet on paved roads.

The campground offers vault toilets, potable water, picnic tables, and fire rings, making it an ideal base for fishing, kayaking, and whitewater rafting, though camping and campfires are prohibited within 25 feet of the water's edge due to Wild and Scenic River designation.

Located 4 miles north of Kernville at 2,800 feet elevation, it operates with both reservable and first-come, first-served sites; glass containers are prohibited.
