Best RV Parks & Resorts near Cantil, 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.

We couldn't stay at the river's edge, but instead stayed at a full hook up.  The area was under trees and quiet, but could had used a little more landscaping.  The fire pit was in way in front of the spot so it was not too private. The area was not full due to COVID and/or the time of year (stayed in Oct).  We entered from the north from 99 and noted the road was not meant for RV's but still very passable. The sites had good spacing between them.  The trail was short, but good for an hour walk to the pond.  The pond was great and this would be a good short stop over for anyone with or without kids. We didn't visit much so it may be a good destination stop for the lake. The help at the front desk was great and friendly. WiFi worked well.

$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.

Great place for RVs and tents. Great fishing spots all over the campground. And access to floating in your tubes and hanging out at beaches in the campground

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.
