Overview
Long Valley Campground is a remote, primitive campground located within Chimney Peak Recreation Area and is cherry stemmed out of Domelands Wilderness. The campground contains 13 sites, picnic tables, fire rings, and primitive pit toilets. There is no potable water at the campground. The Volpe Trail, a 3-mile unmaintained route that provides access to the South Fork of the Kern River within Domelands Wilderness, starts at the end of the campground road near site 13.
Getting there
Follow highway CA-178 approximately 30 miles east of the town of Lake Isabella and turn north onto Canebreak Road. Follow this graded dirt road approximately 9 miles to the prominent junction of Canebrake and Long Valley/ Chimney Basin Roads. Turn left on Long Valley/ Chimney Basin Road and follow it to Long Valley Campgound. The campground will be on the left after approximately 8 miles. The campground access road is two miles long and typically requires a high clearance 4x4 vehicle.
1991–2020 averages from the nearest NOAA station, 9.8 mi away — not measured at the facility itself, and elevation can make a real difference over that distance.
