Overview

Paradise Cove Campground sits near Lake Isabella in the beautiful Sequoia National Forest. The 11,000-acre lake marks the division between the Upper and Lower Kern Rivers.

Recreation

This year-round campground is near Lake Isabella, one of California's largest reservoirs. Water activities such as swimming, water skiing and wind surfing are popular.

The lake is known for trout fishing during the colder months. Other species include black and white crappie, bluegill, catfish and largemouth bass.

Facilities

The campground has 46 sites that are divided into two sections. The upper section has back-in camp sites, and the lower section has side-by-side parking. All camp sites have a view of the lake.

Natural Features

The Sequoia National Forest, located at the southern end of the Sierra Nevada in central California, takes its name from the giant sequoia, the world's largest tree, which grows in more than 30 groves on the Forest's lower slopes.

The Forest comprises about 1.1 million acres, and elevations range from about 1,000 to 12,000 feet creating precipitous canyons and mountain streams with spectacular waterfalls such as Salmon Creek Falls and Grizzly Falls.

Nearby Attractions

The campground provides a great base for day trips to the Trail of a Hundred Giants and numerous Sequoia groves in the Giant Sequoia National Monument. You cannot access Sequoia National Park with a day trip.

The Giant Sequoia Mercantile offers a wide variety of books, maps, gifts, local art, camping supplies and other merchandise.

Beautiful lake, terrible neighbors. Several people walked through our campsite, had issues with a neighbor kicking a soccer ball at our cars. The bathrooms were pretty bad as well. I hope that is was because it was Memorial Day weekend, but we ended up leaving a day early due to the people.

Campground arrangement provides no privacy. Toilet facilities poor and poorly maintained.

Great campground and location. Bathrooms were in good shape for what it was. Location was steps away from the lake but it does get really windy at times. We had a lot of fun. Friendly camp hosts.

Really nice camping sites and beautiful views, however, $25 fee for dumping where there is not a faucet with drinking water to fill up your tanks whilst you're dumping at the dump site is a bit excessive. The fish cleaning stations are kept clean but the dumpster, next to it, containing all the trash and fish extracts should be emptied more regularly as the smells are not so pleasant when there is wind. A shower for those in camping a tent would also be nice as the prices of camping there are not exactly cheap. I would definitely come back to camp there with my trailer anyway.

The lots are very small, and for the most part there is no flat ground. That means be ready to roll in your sleep. Way too expensive for as little as the sites are. Even though the parking area allotted to each lot can fit almost 3 cars, you can only have 1 car at your site before having to pay for having "extra cars" at your site.
