  Bertrand's High Desert Mobile Home & RV Park

  Good Place to Stop Over for a Night

  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.

  Walker Pass Campground

  Small and Quiet

  Along Hwy 178 towards Ridgecrest you'll find this campground that is small but quiet and clean. It is not for big rigs or RVs. 

  There are 2 sites with fire pits and covered picnic tables that could fit a large van at most. There is one other spot that is level but has no fire pit or covered table. Further back are several scattered picnic tables and tent spots. There are also 2 unisex ADA accessible pit toilet bathrooms which were quite filthy.

  This is a stop along the Pacific Crest Trail. The scenery is an amazing mix of Joshua Trees, pines, chaparral, mountains and large rocks, some snow on the peaks facing north. It is close to the highway so there is some road noise and people stopping to use the bathroom. The road in is paved and narrow and potholed but passable.

  There was no cell service with AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile.

  There is a donation based drop box for camping fee so pay what you want or what you can afford.

  Fires and charcoal grills are not allowed per sign at info board, camp stoves are ok.

  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.

  Desert Empire Fair RV Park

  Great for a reset stop.

  We are full time RVers and stayed here 1 night after boondocking a week and heading to our next boondocking destination. This is a perfect stop to dump, fill water, do laundry and just do an overall reset of our RV. I was able to deep clean and get rid of trash. The only thing they didn't have was propane and gas but they had everything else we needed.

  Booking & Space: Was easy online. $35 for pull through site for capacity up to 42'. Sites are close together but still far enough to have all slide outs out and room to walk between.

  Amenities: Big trash and recycling bins were a bonus. We did 9 loads of laundry, can only load them half way and the washing drum is a little small. 3 washers, 3 dryers. All of the units used the Payrange app except 1 dryer is quarters only. The dryer drums are pretty large so we were able to just split the 3rd load between the 2 dryers that use the Payrange app. It was easy to download the app, add funds, scan the barcode of the machine, set the settings on the machine and start. The washers recommend not to use powder detergent and half the amount of liquid detergent. No coin machine for breaking down change. Also no laundry supply stuff for purchase. Overall our stuff cleaned and dried without problems. The door does get stuck and seems locked after entering the code correctly.

  Check-in was easy. Just pull into our site and hook up. Check in is after 2 PM and checkout before 2 PM.

  Hookups: Water pressure was good. Electrical has a meter but there's no additional charge for it. Black/Grey water dump and water spigot at each site.

  Area was very quiet. No road noise and campers were also quiet. It is very well lit all night and cameras are everywhere.

  Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. 3 stalls in the women's and the 3 showers for additional no charge. Each shower had 3 hooks and a seat. There is no bench or seating outside of the showers.

  We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great experience.

  Arabian RV Oasis

  A place to stay if you must.

  Full 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.

  Frandy Park Campground

  Easy access to Rafting Co.

  Located in Kernville - has a small store, showers, dispersed chemical toilets. Premium sites by the River are nice with plenty of shade from cottonwood trees. Commercial campground conveniently affiliated with rafting company on site. Friendly staff. Close to brewery, gas station, groceries in town. Good place for first timers to get to know the area.

  Ricardo Campground — Red Rock Canyon State Park

  Gorgeous and Clean

  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.

  Pioneer Point

  Not far from stores

  Been here once because other campgrounds were full. Before it used to be closed to the public but now it is opened. This camp offers fish cleaning station, it has a playground for kids, portable restrooms, picnic sites with a fire pit. It has many areas with trees which offers plenty of shade. It gets crowded in the summer. If you don’t like being around people I don’t recommend any of these camps or that are reservable because you will come across a lot of campers. Try heading up North to disperse campgrounds, they are more secluded away from people but close to wildlife lol. Be aware. Other than that 25 a night and holidays it is $27. Not bad for a night or two. It is close to lake Isabella and also close to town which has plenty of stores Vons, Taco Bell, liquor stores, Gas station and more.
