Riverside Park

Camp Kernville — known locally as Riverside Park — sits along the Kern River in the historic mountain town of Kernville, California. Set on a private stretch of riverfront with over 1,000 feet of beach, the property offers a laid-back outdoor setting for groups seeking a one-of-a-kind gathering place far from the ordinary event hall. The venue welcomes private groups year-round, hosting family reunions, scout troops, church groups, fraternal organizations, and special interest clubs. Groups may reserve a block of campsites or buy out the entire RV park, with access to a sandy riverside beach, open-air fire pits, and river recreation ranging from fishing and swimming to whitewater rafting and kayaking. Optional add-ons for buyout events include beach games, bonfires, and outdoor movie nights. Located steps from downtown Kernville, guests enjoy easy access to local restaurants, shops, and outfitters, while the surrounding Kern River valley provides a dramatic natural backdrop for outdoor celebrations.
