Best RV Parks & Resorts near Bakersfield, CA

450 Reviews

Bakersfield River Run RV Park and Orange Grove RV Park offer full hookup sites for motorhomes and travel trailers. River Run features concrete pads with adjacent grassy areas and full hookups including 50-amp service, cable TV, and sewer connections. Sites alternate direction of entry, with neighboring hookups positioned close together. Orange Grove RV Park provides pull-through sites with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer hookups in a distinctive setting where orange trees border each site. Bakersfield KOA Journey has 215 sites open year-round with 50-amp and 30-amp options. Most parks accommodate big rigs, though site dimensions vary, with some pull-throughs offering enough length to remain hitched overnight. "Pull-through site we chose wasn't quite level, but close. The pull-through sites alternate direction of entry. Pad was long enough to stay hooked up and wide enough to have slides out."

Throughout the region, RV parks maintain varying levels of amenities alongside the standard hookups. Many offer swimming pools, laundry facilities, and shower buildings with restrooms. Several parks like Bear Mountain RV Park include sanitary dump stations for travelers not staying in full-hookup sites. Cell service is generally good near Bakersfield proper, with Verizon and AT&T networks providing reliable coverage. Parks located farther into the Tehachapi Mountains may have more limited connectivity. Most facilities welcome pets, though specific restrictions may apply. Highway noise can be noticeable at parks located near major thoroughfares like Highway 99, particularly at River Run. According to one visitor, "The freeway noise was pretty constant, and there was an occasional sour smell from the river." Summer temperatures frequently exceed 100°F, making functioning air conditioning systems essential during peak season.

    Bakersfield River Run RV Park

    Good for overnight

    Called to see if they had availability for the night after the office had closed, but a woman answered and gave us late check-in instructions. Clear list of available sites, amenities and prices. Pull-through site we chose wasn’t quite level, but close. The pull-through sites alternate direction of entry. Concrete pad, grassy areas in between on the door-side; neighbor’s hookups on the hookup side. Pad was long enough to stay hooked up and wide enough to have slides out, but if the neighbor on the hookups side has slides on that side, they’d be almost touching . Full hookups worked fine. Restrooms good, but the stall doors didn’t all lock. The freeway noise was pretty constant, and there was an occasional sour smell from the river, I guess. Would stay here again.

    Bakersfield River Run RV Park

    Hidden Gem

    This place is a hidden gem in Bakersfield amid industrial complex buildings. It does sit next to a branch of the Kern river…unfortunately it was dry. The campground is clean and well maintained. Sites are level dirt for your rig and a clean cement pad for your chairs etc. A few of the pull thru spaces are a bit close together especially if you have pull outs but the cement pads do not face each other. Full hookups at each site including a sewer line and cable tv with a modest list of channels. There are trees some sites are shaded others not so much. The bathrooms are by far the cleanest I’ve seen. They have a great laundry room as well. There is a pool, a pretty impressive sized rec room, there also is a camp store saw these at a distance we did not stay long enough to use these facilities. I would definitely stay here again.

    KRS RV Resort@Camp James

    Amazing Time

    First time to the Kern River. Loved it. We were there August 1-6. The River was a little low but it was perfect for us with our 5 year old son. We were able to float down the river in our inner tubes safely. We were told May to June the river is very high in this area. We also fished in the river. Our camp site was great. We stayed in site 81 in our class C RV. Corner site on a creek that ran through the campground. The creek was great to sit in to escape the heat and float down. Lots of kids and dog friendly. The WIFI was good to stream TV and ATT cell service was good too. The sites had power, water and cable TV hook up. There is a dump station in the campground. They clean and rake all camp sites after each use and they enforce the 10:00pm quiet time. It is a short walk/ride to Kern River Brewery. Or it is about a hour drive to Trail of 100 Giants Sequoia Trees. Can’t wait to stay here again.

    Bakersfield River Run RV Park

    Home Town RV Parlk

    Bakersfield RV park just off Hwy 99. My home town, Born and raised, so I've stayed here a few times returning. Nice park adjacent to a great bike trail of 50+ miles. The river is not always running as in some of the pictures. Gravel pads concrete patios surrounded by grass. Daily weekly monthly rates, and have used all of them.

    Unexpected

    We heard good things about this campground from family so we decided to give it a shot. It’s about an hour and 15 minutes from our home in Bakersfield. That road off of the 65 is pretty decent as we have a 32 foot fifth wheel. As usual some sites are better than others there are some creek side sites that are very large and if there’s water are very nice. They have tent only sites as well. On our first trip we stayed in a pull through site. There is not a whole lot of space between campsites in this loop but it’s doable. They also have a stocked pond on site. However if you want to keep any of the fish caught, you have to purchase them. There are trails to hike. FYI, there is no cell reception and no provided wifi. Personally I think that’s a good thing 😬.

    Selby Campground

    Quiet, peaceful, and FREE

    We loved this campground.  The 3 nights we stayed here were really relaxing and peaceful. Almost all other campers were quiet and respectful and friendly.  We won't talk about the noisy family with 4 rambunctious kids that busted in one evening, screamed and yelled for about 12 hours, straight, then just as dramatically busted out at 630am (!) the next morning.  Other than them, all the campers, as well as the many people who stopped here to use the restroom or to park their car while they went hiking or bike riding were so chill and peaceful.  Our 26ft motorhome was by far the biggest beast there.  Other than a few small trailers, the other campers were all in camper vans, truck campers, or tents.

    There is zero cell reception at the campground, but if you hike up the hill behind the campground you can get decent verizon and ATT (we didn't take our T-Mobile hotspot so we don't know for sure if there's T-Mobile reception there).

    The Selby rocks are closed this time of year through July due to migratory bird nesting, but there's plenty of other hiking and exploring in the area, including some petroglyphs on the big rocks near the barn down the road.

    It gets pretty windy at night.

    There are 2 unisex vault toilets.

    3 potable water spigots for water to be used while at the campground (as opposed to filling your RV tank)

    A large metal structure which I assume is 3 horse corrals.

    No trash service, please pack out what you bring in so this campground stays free and open.

    Each site has a picnic table, fire pit, and a shade structure.

    There is one "bonus" dispersed-type spot with a rock fire ring behind the campground, just go up the little hill and it's on the left.

    The road coming in was doable, just some gravelly washboarding. 

     Highly recommend this campground!  Apparently this time of year is the busy season due to amazing blooms, but this year was a dry winter so we didn't see many flowers.

    Los Alamos Campground at Pyramid Lake

    Great for a quick getaway but come prepared

    Tried this campground out for a single day/night of camping for my family of 4.

    Location - 5 out of 5 Great location in terms of close to home (40 minutes from Bakersfield). 1.5 miles from Pyramid Lake for a day trip.

    Campground - 3 out of 5. $20 per night, by all means, this is only regards to the tent camping not the people or bathrooms etc. We camped in Loop 4 camp 72. While I was towards the end of the campground, very little shade was available. Prepare to bring multiple ezups for shade. Tent was easily put up as ground is soft. This camp was overrun by fire ants, so had to carefully move around their nest. There was a small section in between some trees that allowed us to get some shade, maybe even a small tent fits there. Bathrooms are flush toilets and very clean. No showers available to my knowledge. Camping came with a cement picnic table and a fire pit.

    The 2 points off was just because of the shade situation. I did go through the campground all together to see which sites were more shaded and out of all of the sites perhaps 4 had some trees with good shade.

    If you are looking for a weekend getaway from the city, good place to come. Just come prepared with multiple shade apparatus.

    **My pictures were taken after 6pm when the sun is behind the mountains.

    Shaded Haven RV Park

    Worst campground I’ve ever stayed at!

    5+ years Full time RVer, worst ever campground we have ever stayed at, stayed in many states, long-term short-term, stayed at this one for two months, although had a reservation for three. Sites are too tight, everything‘s grayish/dusty and dirty, you’re near a rail track, that blows its horn for minutes 24/7, that includes 2 AM, that includes 4 AM. Many of the neighbors you’ll see look like they’re on (mental) disability and don’t look healthy. Hot tub is smelly and yellow water too often although they state they clean it almost weekly. I god major depression staying here.

    Bakersfield River Run RV Park

    Clean, Friendly with pool, hot tub, laundry, wifi, showers and full hookups

    We stayed for one night, after dry camping in Yosemite for several days. It was nice to fresh hot showers, do laundry, recharge everything and get a good night's sleep. The place is for RVs, no tent sites, fire rings or tables, but well spaced level pads, with full hookups, a concrete patio for your own table and chairs, grass, flowers, trees and landscaping. 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. The site has a recreation room and outdoor grill with picnic tables. The location is close to 99 but not too loud. Costco is nearby. There is a river and a park on the other side of the RV Park fence. Overall just what we were looking for.
