It's close to the river. We've been camping at Camp 3 for over 20 years. This time, we wanted to sleep comfortably and be close to the river to enjoy it more. The second night, they helped us light the BBQ and make a campfire. The gentleman was very kind.

The Kern Lodge is cute, comfortable and a great value. It's an old family style lodge. The rooms are good sized and clean. Maybe not the best bed but all 5 of us slept just fine. Location is walkable to literally everything. I can't say enough nice things about the gentlemen who runs the place. We will be back!.

I took my mom, son and small dog to visit Kern River for their first time. Both of them were weary of tent camping, so we decided to stay at the Kern Lodge. The room had the feel of a cabin and was very simple. Bed's were comfortable, room came with Keurig, coffee pods, small fridge, microwave, shampoo, body wash. The hotel grounds were very cute. There was a courtyard with a bonfire pit, there was a giant chess board, giant checker board. The walls are not thin where you hear everything going around outside. James Store was walking distance, Pizza Barn was walking distance. The front desk was helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend staying here and we will be staying there again next year.

Didn’t feel clean even though it looked clean enough because the body wash and soap dispensers not refilled, no toilet paper, no paper towels, bad bed, air wouldn’t set to cool below 77 degrees in a hot place! Not central air, noisy, tiny shower & room advertised as bigger than it was! Wont stay here again.

Honestly loved almost everything about this quaint little lodge- the themed rooms are so cute, the aesthetic is vintage and woodsy and I will definitely be back! My only qualm was the lack of humna-to-human communication with the actual Lodge staff.. I couldnt reach anyone via phone, email, even Facebook pre-stay. But once I got there, Bruce was so lovely and helpful and pleasant!

Checked in and received keys to room. Walked into an unclean living room with trash and bed sheets not changed. Went to management who asked for an additional hour to clean our room. After this time had passed, bed sheets still had hair, pillow case had a stain and the single toilet also had hair. The fold out couch was impossible to sleep upon, as the bars pushed through a thin mattress. This same couch had tape that covered apparent tears in it. Rather than stay the night, we opted to take the 3.5 hour ride back home. This was a forgettable stay would never book at this location again. The gentleman at the front desk was nice and professional.
