Hobo Campground

Hobo Campground offers 23 tent-only sites along the Lower Kern River at 2,290 feet elevation, ideal for paddlers and anglers seeking riverside access.

The campground features vault toilets and picnic tables, but no potable water; vehicles are limited to 22 feet maximum length and trailers are unsuitable due to narrow roads.

White water boating requires a free Kern River Use permit from the Kernville Ranger Station, and a trail connects to Sandy Flat Campground; note that the campground is currently closed until further notice.
