Easiest way to get there
Look up on your map and drive to:
James Sierra Gateway Markets
13432 Sierra Way
Kernville, CA 93238
Directions should take you through Bakersfield and through Lake Isabela.
Note: once you start down the road, cell service goes in and out.
At the market zero out your milage. Now continue down Sierra Way, it turns into Mountain 99. Go for 13.2 miles. You will see a dirt entrance entrance on your left side, there is no sign. If you miss it there is a second entrance. The campsite is about 3-3.5 hours from LA.
Along the way there you will pass other campgrounds, don’t get confused.
If you end up at McNallys restaurant you have gone about a mile too far.
