Flying, Camping & Astronomy

The perfect intersection of favorite pasttimes - flying, camping and astronomy! This all comes together for me and my family at Kernville, CA (L05). The airport provides a great campground next to the runway. The Kern River is a short walk away and the night skies are dark for viewing. The airport operators run a nice cafe where you can get a good breakfast and/or lunch. Our favorite is the chocolate milkshake! You can rent a car from them for a nominal fee to get to and from town. We make several trips a year to this wonderful spot.
