Hobo Campground

Hobo Campground offers 23 tent-only sites along the Lower Kern River in Sequoia National Forest, with a paved road and vault toilets but no potable water.

The campground is reservation-only and suitable only for vehicles up to 22 feet (trailers not recommended), with a boat launch nearby for whitewater boating and kayaking that requires a free Kern River Use permit from the Kernville Ranger Station.

Note: The campground is currently closed until further notice due to infrastructure issues.
