Several RV parks around Alpaugh provide year-round accommodation for motorhome travelers, with options ranging from full-hookup RV campgrounds to more basic sites across California's Central Valley. Bakersfield River Run RV Park features concrete patio pads surrounded by grass with full hookups and pull-through sites suitable for larger rigs. Almond Tree Oasis RV Park in Coalinga maintains 18 pull-through sites on level gravel with both 30-amp and 50-amp service options. Lost Hills RV Park offers similar hookup configurations approximately 30 miles west of Alpaugh, while Sun and Fun RV Park in Tulare provides 60 sites with water, sewer, and electric connections. "The campsites are nice with full hookups and pull through options. Grass at each site," noted one camper about River Run RV Park.
Most RV parks in this region of California's Central Valley remain open throughout the year, allowing travelers flexibility in planning trips during all seasons. Accessibility rarely presents challenges as the terrain is predominantly flat, though summer temperatures frequently exceed 100°F, making functional air conditioning essential during peak season. While Bakersfield properties typically offer amenities like swimming pools, hot tubs and recreation rooms, parks closer to Alpaugh may have more limited facilities. Cell service varies between providers but generally remains consistent throughout the area. Many locations accommodate pets with designated exercise areas, though one review mentioned that "dog park isn't fenced off and running out of bags" at Almond Tree Oasis. Dump stations are available at most parks, with some offering on-site propane services for longer stays.

I've tried... Visited 4 times, I just won't be back.
Alright - I would never write a review like this, but NOBODY is talking about the SMELL, and the FLIES!
OK, this place is PERFECT as a stopping point from southern California to the Bay Area and beyond. I've stopped here 4 times in my RV on my way to Palm Springs or back and it is the perfect location, it does get great sunsets (Thanks to the disgusting Bakersfield air). However... can we talk about that Bakersfield smell? I don't know if there is a sewer treatment plant nearby (there isn't), or a billion cows off gassing every second of the day (there is), but it is absolutely disgusting. If you arrive at sunset, you'll have a lovely evening (if there is a breeze to fend off the flies), however around 11pm, you'll get "the whiff". Let me tell you... I have a well sealed class A RV, with a good air conditioner/heat pump, and it still wakes you up and takes your breath away. I've visited in September, October, December, and even in February... nothing seems to change these facts unfortunately.
Lovely campground, full hookups, water views (apparently the water has severed body parts in it), great sunsets, and super convenient location right off highway 5 with no road noise.... But the SMELL! and THE FLIES! 😂 OK, I said my piece. Book at your own risk :).

Stayed at Buena Vista Campground.
Beautiful view next to lake. Site is on pavementwith grass area next to us. Had to call for noise, the ranger went by and after he left went back up again. So not so peaceful. Can boat, canoe, paddle board. Very calm lake. Not too busy. Pull through sites.

Nice, but
Great location, awesome scenery and the sites are pretty nice. The reason for 3 stars is that the toilets are replaced with porta potties ( the machines n ones are locked) and the garbage is over flowing in the dumpster. There was no toilet paper in the women’s “restroom”. That was after the maintenance guy was here.

Not a bad plce but a bit uncared for
Our site was 104. Decent site with no services. Picnic table was bent up, bathrooms were OK but needed regular service. Half the showers didn’t function for several reasons, dirty and lots of big spiders, not clean, doors would not close or lock, lights did not work.

New bathrooms and beautiful sunset
This campground has many wonderful features, but also some issues. Here on a Friday night in July and all sites were taken - many family groups, here to enjoy their boats and jet skis on the lake. There are new bathrooms, that have separate toilet and shower rooms. They were clean when we arrived at 5pm, but by 9 pm the toilets were clogged and the shower rooms dirty. Grateful for our cassette toilet! Avoid the older buildings with toilets only. The women’s sink was clogged, the seats are metal and no latch or difficult to latch doors. The men’s were a clogged mess.
As one other reviewer noted, the ground is pocketed with ground critter holes. There are grassy areas to pitch a tent in most sites.
Our campsite was not clean when we arrived - bits of garbage, broken glass, dog poops throughout. We spent some time cleaning up so we and our dog could safely walk around.
I am sure it is a much more pleasant experience in the off season or mid-week. The lake is beautiful, many sites have new picnic tables and the new bathrooms and showers are nice when clean. The sites are well spaced, and when reserving, you can opt of shade, partial shade or no shade. All sites have electrical and water.!

What to do
Explore nearby rivers: Kings River RV Resort offers access to a river beach area during spring and summer months when water levels are sufficient. "Loved our stay at this resort. Warm pool, riverfront and a gorgeous beach!" notes a camper at Kings River RV Resort.
Visit Harris Ranch: Located one exit away from Almond Tree Oasis RV Park on I-5, this popular restaurant and shopping destination provides a break from camping. "Harris Ranch is one exit away on I-5 with barbeque and a well known restaurant," mentions a visitor staying at the park.
Use biking trails: Bakersfield offers extensive paved trails for cycling enthusiasts. "Nice park adjacent to a great bike trail of 50+ miles," reports a camper about Bakersfield River Run RV Park, providing recreation options beyond the campground.
What campers like
Clean bathroom facilities: Many campgrounds prioritize cleanliness in their restroom facilities. "One of the nicest, most upkept campgrounds we've ever stayed at. The bathrooms and grounds are modern, the showers are fantastic," shares a guest at Bakersfield River Run RV Park.
Swimming pools: During hot summer months, pools provide welcome relief. "I took a dip in the swimming pool, it was very refreshing. The hot tub jets massaged my neck and shoulders after driving for several days," explains a camper at River Run RV Park.
Quiet environment: Despite proximity to highways, many parks maintain peaceful atmospheres. "It was absolutely silent. Not a peep out of any other guests, not a dog bark or TV at all," reports a visitor to Almond Tree Oasis RV Park, noting the surprisingly quiet environment.
What you should know
Highway noise varies: Campgrounds near major highways may experience traffic noise. "Ask for 1-32 or 89-113 to have your best chance of avoiding the highway noise," suggests a camper at River Run RV Park regarding site selection.
Limited shade: Many parks have minimal tree coverage. "This campground is basically a parking lot, with very few shaded areas. There are some trees that offer shade, but only a few," explains a visitor to Almond Tree Oasis RV Park.
Reservation timing: Holiday weekends fill quickly and may have higher rates. "I had planned to stay at the KOA near Sequoia... But I didn't anticipate that we were going to be arriving on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, and waited too long to make my reservation," reports a camper at Lemon Cove Village.
Bathroom access hours: Some facilities have limited overnight access. "Pretty ridiculous that all the toilets and showers in the rv park are locked from 10pm-7:30 am. When you're paying a minimum of $59 a night I'd expect I would at least be able to use the restroom in the middle of the night," notes a guest at River Run RV Park.
