Guide
Beautiful well kept campground. We tent camped and our site was close to the rv hook up sites. The rv sites have two different sizes and hookups. Tent sites had access to running water. We were located close to the creek and the bathrooms with showers. The walk to the water was a bit far but fun once you’re out there. The current wasn’t too strong so the kids were able to enjoy themselves in the water. Overall we had a blast.

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.

Cheap, no-frills full hook-up RV park near the mojave airfield and space port. You are literally parking in a parking lot with hook-ups. It’s bare bones.
RangerI’ve been coming here since I was a kid, not much has changed except the water level.. and nicer restrooms!
we tent camped by the river ( other options include by a brook ) and had plenty of space and trees. Full rv hookups and rv camping available on the top tier of the campground. Be careful of thievin raccoons!
Close to Riverkern , cell service and supplies
LegendMojave 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.
Traveler
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.
GuideWe 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.
Guide
Excellent family spot. Beautiful well kept grounds. Clean showers and bathrooms. Polite guests. Respectable to after hour policies. Ground keepers make sure everyone is happy. Full hook up sites make it easy. Shaded tent sites make it comfortable. Camp store make it convenient. Walking distance to town and store. Kern river Brewing company is the family favorite. Pizza Barn delivers to you while riverside.
Guide
This Campground is not near the river or the lake water. It does have a pool though! LOL.
We were just glad we brought a vehicle so we could leave to explore the river and sequoia trees!
We did have shade and full hook up. There’s a water feature that sprays water in the air and a playground. There was a store and laundry I think! We really didn’t spend much time there.
I’ll never go back there only because I prefer to be on water.
The photos are not from the campground but these shots are some of what you can see in the area.
GuideWe 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.

Mountain Valley RV park in Tehachapi, Ca is a nice mid-way stop between Las Vegas and the Bay area. We stayed here when we discovered our trailer was a bit too large to get into Tehachapi Mt State Park Campground. (Although this RV park isn’t that far from the state park where you could drive and do some day hikes.) Although Mt Valley RV Park is probably on few peoples list as a destination spot, my husband and I would consider coming back for the sheer peacefulness of the place. There is something embracing about the valley location at about 4000 ft elevation- with views of the surrounding hills, minimal road noise, mature trees, space between sites and lovely song birds the 3rd week of April when we were there. Not to mention, the gliders in the sky will mesmerize you since it’s located adjacent to a glider strip. Due to Covid the laundry and external restrooms were closed, and tent camping, which is normally accepted, was canceled for the time being. It’s definitely a place to consider if you’re passing through or plan to stay in Tehachapi ,CA.
GuideThis was a sweet little quiet RV park. We spent the night on a longer trip and were pleasantly surprised. The sites had water and electrical. There was a large clean bathroom and 24hr laundry room. There are mountain views and we saw a lovely sunset across the airfield. In the morning we walked over to the Raven's Nest for breakfast and watched the gliders take off starting around 9am. I also recommend Red House BBQ a few miles up the road if you are looking for lunch or dinner
RangerNow that I’ve spent some time in the desert I can now say that this little rv park is a nice place. Not too many places have trees, or grass, or a view, in the desert. It’s quaint and clean. It made a perfect overnight stop for a bit of “civilization” on our long journey. This park is exactly as advertised. I will say there isn’t much to do or see within walking distance, but the town in just a few miles away.
ScoutWe stopped overnight here. Would not recommend more than that. Best thing - highway noise is minimal. Worst thing: bathrooms are locked between 10 pm and 7:30 am (not good for those of us with early mornings). The dog area is a very small lawn with no fencing so no off leash running - especially bcuz there’s a small plane airport next to the RV park with no fencing. Showers had hot water but wear your flip flops cuz the floor didn’t seem too clean.
ScoutCamp sights are very close to one another not much privacy. The RV sights with full hooks up are further away from the river about 200 yards. The campground is very clean and well maintained. Kernville is less then a mile away were you can get gas diesel groceries firewood or anything else you might have forgotten.
Ranger$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.

Easy checking Cheap with Passport America membership: don’t expect much Level sites, electric (30 used ) water and sewer Little shade - over 106 when there late Aug
GuideExcellent spots right on the Kern River. So many things to do and the campground resort is ran good, no issues at all. Full hookups, close to everything.
GuideFull hookups, concrete pads, picnic tables. Many full time campers parked with junk around them. The grounds need a ton of cleanup. Not the safest feeling being in this park.
TravelerQuiet park with views of windmills and mountains. There is a dump station not full hookups and WiFi is only available when the cafe is open. Great for a rest and recharge.
GuideOverall nice site with full hookups & wi-fi/cell. Had a nice shade tree but it can be real sunny without one. Laundry right on site! Close to lake Isabella and all of the Kern. Great for last minute reservations too, online booking works
ScoutGreat 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
Ranger
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.

I go camp at Frandy campgrounds once a year in October. It’s a wonderful camp ground, very large and well maintained. Some sites are appropriate for RV with electrical hook ups. I always camp near the river, there are plenty of walk ways to get down there to relax. It’s enjoyable to be able to walk into town to have a drink or enjoy a bite to eat if you don’t want to cook at your campsite. I love this camp ground, it’s a great spot for the family. You can even rent a covered wagon to stay the night if you don’t want to tent camp.

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.
LegendA 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.
