Bakersfield KOA Journey

5 ReviewsAdd Review

Just outside Bakersfield's urban sprawl, this KOA Journey sits on forested terrain near the Kern River, providing year-round camping with full hookups for RVs up to 80 feet. The campground features level pads and paved internal roads, though parking surfaces are decomposed granite rather than concrete.

"Nice RV park with level pads, a restaurant, and a pool," notes one reviewer, highlighting the on-site dining and swimming facilities that distinguish this location from typical roadside stops. The property includes standard KOA amenities like restrooms, showers, and WiFi, plus allows campfires for evening gatherings. Electric, water, and sewer hookups serve RV campers, while the location provides convenient access to Bakersfield RV Resort & Crest Bar & Grill just four-tenths of a mile north.

Campers appreciate the facility's cleanliness and reasonable rates, though morning conditions can create muddy parking areas due to the decomposed granite surface. The campground sits across from Camping World, making it practical for RV supply needs or equipment repairs. Staff receives positive mentions for helpfulness, and the location works well as a travel base for exploring camping near Bakersfield or as an overnight stop during longer journeys. For a different experience, Costco — Bakersfield offers basic overnight parking about a mile west.

Many campers appreciated the clean facilities, level sites, and amenities like the pool and restaurant at reasonable rates. However, some visitors reported concerns about strict refund policies during emergencies.

Road closed could get there

We had a reservation but couldn't get there due to I-5 being closed for over 30 hours. I canceled the morning of and they refused to refund, when in fact they knew people couldn't get their. I've been there lots of times with no issues. The general manager and refused to refund me or even give me a credit. Sadly they have lots our business and 10 other campers to.
