Long Valley Campground

Long Valley Campground is a remote, primitive BLM campground in the Chimney Peak Recreation Area with 13 sites featuring picnic tables and fire rings, but no potable water—visitors must bring their own supplies.

The campground serves as a trailhead for the Volpe Trail, a 3-mile unmaintained route providing access to the South Fork of the Kern River within Domelands Wilderness.

Access requires a high-clearance 4x4 vehicle via a 2-mile rough road, and the site is located over 20 miles from the nearest paved road, offering a true backcountry experience for those seeking solitude.
