About Limestone Campground
Limestone Campground offers a refreshing cold spring experience along the Kern River, nestled in California’s rugged landscape. This primitive spot invites you to relax in natural swimming holes carved by the river’s flow, surrounded by towering trees and the sound of bubbling water. It’s a tranquil escape where the cool river contrasts beautifully with warm summer air.
Getting There
You reach Limestone Campground by driving north on Sierra Way, just past Fairview Campground. The drive-up access means no hiking is needed, though parking is limited and close to the riverbank. Arrive early to secure a spot during busy summer days.
What to Expect
The water here is crisp and cold, flowing gently through quiet stretches of the Kern River. The setting feels untouched, with few visitors sharing the space, allowing for peaceful dips and moments to connect with nature. Facilities are minimal, emphasizing the primitive, natural vibe.
Tips for Visitors
Visit Limestone Campground in summer when the water refreshes and weather is warm. Bring your own supplies—there are no fees or official amenities, and parking fills quickly. Respect the environment by packing out all trash and keeping noise low to maintain this serene spot's calm atmosphere.
