Have been going to Frandy for several years because of its location to Isabella Lake and it's family friendly environment. The staff are friendly and the spaces are large enough to accommodate most RVs. Yes it's in the middle of Kernville but that's a good thing if you're new to camping or just don't have all the gear to boondock. The only negatives are the dust, wind and early summer cottonwood flying around. They did try to cut down on some of the dust by putting down wood chips on the main roads around all the sites but for some reason they didn't put it down on the lower bowl sites (#26-31). We deal with it by bringing really large tarps and weighing stuff down with sand bags. Nothing you can do about the cotton except to find a place by the river and spend your day there or at the lake. If you don't want to tent there are the Wagons or local RV rentals company that will drop an RV on to your site.

My anticipation for this place was sky-high. Glowing reviews, stunning images, and a pristine online appearance set my expectations soaring. Arriving promptly at 8:00 pm, the initial moments seemed promising despite the three-hour drive. However, the cracks began to show as I settled in for the night. Issues surfaced with the campground's operation, treating it more like a luxury resort with wristbands, car inspections, and an array of fees for basic amenities. Want to use the fire pit? Upgrade to a "premium site." Looking to fish? Opt for a riverfront spot. The real ordeal began at dawn when I ventured to the river for some fishing. Passing through what appeared to be an empty campsite, I was accosted by an individual claiming ownership, hurling profanities and threats. Even mentioning their connection to a staff member, they demanded I leave. Ignoring the confrontation, I started fishing, only to be confronted by staff accusing me of rule-breaking. Despite showing the vacant spot with no sign of occupancy, I was scolded and shown no leniency. Returning from fishing, I observed the staff member, possibly named Joyce, granting special treatment to the aggressive camper, with personalized signage and a falsified plaque indicating occupancy. Photos later confirmed the favoritism, with site 1 vacant and site 2 monopolized by the favored camper. You can actually see in the pictures the regular plaques vs the forged one she put up. My experience at this supposed gem turned sour due to mismanagement, favoritism, and a disregard for paying customers. I left within 20 hours and just checked in at the local hotel. Shame on you Frandy Park.

We had a delightful and enjoyable experience during our one-night stay in our tent. The friendly staff's behavior upon arrival, the captivating nature, the cleanliness of the environment, the abundance of firewood beyond imagination, the opportunity to make a bonfire, the provision of a table and chairs next to the riverbed, and... In summary, everything necessary for a memorable camping experience was present for me, my spouse, and our cat in this lovely environment. We highly recommend it to you.

LOVED IT!! We were in space 26. Our camping spot was about 20 ft from the river. Yes there is a city park on the other side of the river, but it is still nice. There's little man made shallow pools for kids to swim in on the side of the river. The river itself in this part of the river has a fast current for rafting, just bring swimming shoes because the rocks are sharp and slippery. Only one building of bathrooms in the entrance of the park and they are kept clean. They have porter potties throughout the campground. Campground office sells firewood and ice. The attendants of the campground are friendly and courteous. There's all sorts of businesses outside of the campground, even a grocery store. Overall I think the campground is located in a great spot.
