Halfway Group Campground

Halfway Group Campground offers a prime riverside escape for groups looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Upper Kern River. Situated at an elevation of 2,812 feet, this USFS-managed site provides a scenic backdrop for outdoor adventures, serving as an ideal basecamp for those who enjoy the rugged terrain of the West. Its year-round accessibility ensures that visitors can enjoy the changing seasons along the water, whether they are planning a summer getaway or a quiet off-season retreat.

The campground is specifically designed to accommodate group gatherings, featuring five distinct sites dedicated to tent camping. Each site is equipped with essential amenities, including picnic tables and fire rings, perfect for shared meals and evening gatherings under the stars. While the site remains rustic with no utility hookups, it provides direct access to the river for world-class fishing, kayaking, and rafting.

This location is best suited for groups of tent campers or those seeking a communal outdoor experience in a federal recreation area. With extensive hiking trails nearby and proximity to the river, it is a fantastic destination for active families and groups who prioritize proximity to water-based recreation and wilderness exploration over modern luxury amenities.
