Best RV Parks & Resorts near California City, CA

Came here after "visiting" the other so called RV park in this area. This is a nice place and we were greeted by the friendly maintenance guy as soon as we pulled in. 

For overnighters there is a separate area from the long term residents with level pull through sites and full hook ups (20, 30 and 50amp) for $30/night.  One of us felt that being secluded away from the main park gave the overnighters area a spooky lonely vibe at night (the other of us didn't feel that way and felt fine).

There is also a self pay drop box (if you need to pay with credit card or want a receipt pay at the office) right outside the fenced overnighter area which also has an easily accessed dump station and potable water for $10 fee if you just need to dump and fill.

The friendly maintenance guy came around to make sure we had everything we needed after we set up. This is right off of Hwy 178 so there is road noise but it quieted down at night. The area is clean and there are dumpsters available as well as a laundry room which is inside the residential area. Laundry was $1.75/wash and $1 for dryer. This park is a good place to stay the night or for a chore day while traveling through.

Good cell service with AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, unsure if park has WiFi available.

There's also an RV parts store next door which we did not check out.

Overall a nice clean place, nothing fancy or beautiful but a good place to clean up before heading back into boondocking.

Mojave is in the middle of no where. But if you find yourself out this way, Spaceport RV Park makes up for it. Full hookup for $20.00/ night and VERY helpful park staff!!! It’s my understanding they let you dump for $5.00 and fill your freshwater tank for $2.00 even if you don’t stay here.

A little out of the way, but that’s a feature. Spread out spots so you’re not on top of your neighbor. Only 6 full hook ups with only 30 amp, not 50. Other spots have electricity and water only. Our spot has lots of ants. People I’ve dealt with here are very nice. Very beautiful location overlooking a lake. Far from the highway so no traffic noise that I’ve noticed.

We stayed during the pandemic and CA wildfires, so the lake was low and the amenities were deserted (e.g., bathroom with shower rough and no hot water). That said, we reserved in advance and had a large site for our RV under a huge shade tree; other full hook-up sites, while ample, looked much more exposed. We enjoyed watching the bunnies and squirrels from our camper window and ducks and birds on the lake.

California Rv Resort Acton California I was going to write a good review but after talking to the manager things went south. I stayed at the resort for 2 months, December and January and before my second month started, I went to talk to the manager on the 27th in the am to explain that I may not stay for the entire 2nd month. So I ask her what would be best since I was not sure when my company was asking me to report to my new location, she was very helpful and said the best is to pay for a whole month through the 27th of January and any difference she said she would just prorate back to my credit card. Well to my SUPRISE when I called@ 9.55 am on the 24th she explained that I would only get back$50.00 after charging me$1175.00 for the 30 days. I'm sure she will say she explained that to me but she did not! Just for the math 30 days divided by$1175.00 is$39.16 per day. they owe me for a minimum of$39.16 per day for 4 days as she explained this= 156.64 NOT$50.00 They are trying to short me out of$106.64. Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody's looking.

$35 per night with full hookups makes this place great for a night or two between longer boondocking stays. The overnighter spots are separate from the permanent resident area, the spaces are level and very clean. Staff in the office is super friendly and helpful. The office for the park is located at the RV parts building. There is also a dump station with potable water just outside the overnighter area with a self-pay station for just $10. Fantastic deal. 10/10 would recommend and will stay here again.

The views from this campground are absolute stellar. The sites and pit toilets are clean and plenty of spaces were available. It was all first come, first served and self-pay when we arrived. Drive the loop and find your spot, then return the payment in the envelope provided to the pay station. I’m sure it’s a busy place on the weekends. It’s in an OHV area, so off road vehicle noise is to be expected, but it was minimal. The road in is smooth, sites are easy to access (with a few pull-through sites) and there are a few paved ADA specific sites as well. The sites up by the cliffs are offer the best views but many may be difficult to get level in if you have a motorhome or travel trailer.

I was pleasantly surprised by this campground. We just stayed one night in a 34 ft travel trailer, needing electric to run the AC in the 104-degree desert heat. The campground is organized in a loop, with the clubhouse(showers, laundry, lounge) in the center. The sites are paired back to back with hookups in the middle. Smaller sizes are near the entrance while larger sites are in the back. No reservations so sites are first-come, first-serve, and paid for at the rec center(or via the dropbox after hours). Hook-ups were in good condition. The landscape needs some love, even by desert standards, but it's not horrible. The campground is located next to the base family pool and is a short walk/drive to the commissary/exchange. We were grateful for this rest stop while traveling and would stay again.

PROS: walking distance to lake Isabella, awesome views. Beautiful sunrise and sunset. RVs, Trailers and tents are welcome, big spaces available. This camp has drinking water, toilets, dump station and a playground for kids. Great for family vacation.

CONs: not too much shade.

A step or two up from a casino parking lot (probably more like 3.5 stars), this is a basic, friendly and most of all cheap place to park your RV for a night. There's laundry facilities, showers and bathrooms. Most excitedly there's water and electric hookups and a sewer dump all included for the flat $20 price. If you're stopping here on the way to somewhere else for a night and have a self-contained RV, this is a great place to get some cheap, quiet sleep.

Spots are on gravel or a concrete pad with plenty of room to maneuver, and while some are right next to each other, when we were there there was plenty enough open spaces to not have to cram in. Lots of monthly/permanent residents but mostly those rigs are off in other areas separate from the nightly spots. Overall the feeling is of a safe, friendly, basic spot to stop for the night, but not somewhere you'd want to set up a table and chairs and hang out for an extended period of time.

Tips: The coolest thing about this park (besides its nice price) is the Mojave Air & Space Port located immediately next door. Stop by its little park and cute, friendly restaurant where you can watch airplanes take off while having delicious fries or a milkshake.

Forest Fire 2 years ago did some damage resulting in the water spigot being intermittently operating, boiling or filter a must. Spacious, sparsely used, remote tent or car camping, some space for RV but NO hookups. 20 mile dirt road for access. Fire restrictions usually "extreme" so probably not a spot for a campfire. Rattlesnakes common, use caution with kids and pets.

Camping with ostrich’s? I was like no way. It’s true though. You literally get to camp with ostrich’s not too far away from your camp site. Quail run by Lake Hughes is a small family owned private land that has recently been opened up to campers. We have a 15’ pull behind pop up trailer that was easy to travel with to this location. We were greeted by a very friendly Jessica and her husband (sorry I don’t remember his name). They were very kind and showed us to our campsite which was very open and private. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that electricity was provided as we were prepared for dry camping with no hook ups at all. There’s also a bathroom with plumbing and running water.

We decided to take the ostrich tour with Papa Lou at 4pm where we got to get up close to the amazing birds. We were told to not be afraid of them but to respect them. Seeing an ostrich that close makes you realize why scientists call them modern day dinosaurs. Truly remarkable birds. After the tour we were shown to the little shop where you can purchase a few ostrich items including either empty or whole ostrich eggs. They’re huge. One ostrich egg is the equivalent of approximately 12-24 chicken eggs depending on the size. So really one egg makes for a prehistoric breakfast!

Once we were done with the tour we just relaxed at the private campsite where we enjoyed our propane (open flame is understandably not allowed due to fire hazard) fire pit and delicious ostrich egg. No, just kidding we brought chili from home. I would highly recommended Quail Run to beginning campers or anyone else interested in spending the night under the beautiful night sky. : )

Beautiful spot. Old school mountainside camping in the tall trees. Campsites are around 6,000’, pit toilets, grills, steel fire pits, picnic tables and potable water taps. We spent a night in late May and there were only a few other sites occupied on a Wednesday night. This is a hidden gem. It was 100 in Mojave and 70 in the TMP. Gorgeous tall evergreens and some larger oaks, a few might be old growth? ***Note: this is not a place for large RVs or trailers. The road in is tight and twisty with no shoulders and some trees and rock faces snug up against it. The campground is very steep, the roads are one lane and very very curvy. Some sites are very near each other, others are more dispersed. There are large groups sites.
