Hobo Campground

What sets Hobo Campground apart is its picturesque location along the Lower Kern River, offering shaded sites under majestic sycamores, willows, and cottonwoods. The campground caters to those seeking a tranquil, rustic retreat with opportunities for riverfront relaxation and outdoor adventures.

Hobo Campground features 23 tent-only campsites and 10 additional sites, with picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets provided. Campers can enjoy direct access to fishing, kayaking, and whitewater rafting along the Kern River, although swimming is discouraged due to strong currents. The site’s proximity to local highlights like Miracle Hot Springs (1 mile away) and Sandy Flat Campground hiking trails adds to its appeal. Its fall foliage creates a stunning seasonal backdrop, enhancing the serene ambiance.

Located within 30 minutes of Lake Isabella in the Sequoia National Forest, Hobo Campground is an ideal destination for weekend getaways or nature-focused vacations. Its no-frills charm, paired with the allure of the Lower Kern Canyon’s outdoor activities, makes it a favored stop for campers looking to immerse themselves in California’s rugged beauty.
