Kern Valley Airport is located just south of Kernville and provides service for small private planes.
The runway runs north to south over the lake and has its own small campground. Reservations are required for camping.
The airport has radio communications during the daylight hours, a small cafe, and hangars offering minor repairs,
if needed.

Great camping is available right on the airport. A separate tiedown area (bring your own tiedowns) for camping in a tree shaded area,
within walking distance of the river. Tables, firepits, toilets and an outdoor shower can be found in the camping area. This is a very beautiful
and quiet place (except for those darn airplanes taking off and landing). You can also walk 5 minutes down the taxiway to a nice restaurant.

Cheap rental cars are available to explore the nearby Lake Isabella or the town.
