    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.

    Santa Cruz Campground — Carpinteria State Beach

    Carpinteria State Beach Campground

    Carpinteria State Beach Campground is a one of our frequently visited “staycation” spots. We live in nearby Santa Barbara, but will use Carp State Beach as a midway meeting point when friends from Southern California and Central California meet up.

    The campground is pretty large, and caters mostly to RVs and trailers. There are loops within the campground that are essentially just asphalt lots with small dirt spaces for fire pits and picnic benches - these are intended for RV campers, but we have tent camped there in a pinch. Since we are tent campers we do prefer to camp in the grassy tent sites, but they are limited in number and tend fill up quickly. Because of the moderate year-round weather, Carpinteria State Beach Campground stays pretty full all year long!

    The campground has full hook ups, clean plumed bathrooms, and coin-operated showers. There are grocery stores and conscience stores within short walking distance for anything you might need. Train tracks run directly behind the campground, so there is some noise pollution from the passing trains.

    The campground is at the very end of downtown Carpinteria, right next to the ocean. There are no “ocean front” sites, but the beach is a quick 1-minute walk from essentially anywhere in the campground. Some small sandy dunes separate the campground from the beach, and there is an accessible paved boardwalk running along the length of the dunes. There are beautiful tide pools just south of Carpinteria State Beach Campground that are a must see. Check the tide charts on the internet to visit the tide pools at low to mid tide.

    While we really enjoy camp cooking, we tend to opt to walk into town to eat when camping in Carpinteria. Linden Avenue is right next to the campground, and is the main street in downtown Carpinteria. There is a wide variety of restaurants, breweries and coffee shops downtown. Island Brewery CO is a local favorite just on the edge of the campground - while I don’t think they have food available (yet), their beer is GREAT! Their avocado beer is a must try - I know it sounds weird, but it’s delicious (and doesn’t taste like avocados)! Rincon Brewery is a few blocks up from the campground, and also has great beer, and TASTY FOOD!

    Tapo Canyon Park

    Clean and quiet, except for the birds

    This is a very nice campground near everything but still away from it all. No issues parking our 42' 5th wheel here. Clean and quiet despite the peacocks. They can be rather loud when startled. I swear they could hear my morning alarm and squawked their disapproval. The camp host Shawn is AMAZING! Bathrooms are very clean. Showers are coin operated. DO NOT expect cell service. I could only work from this spot by placing my mobile HomeFi router on top of the camper. Our Verizon phones were paper weights. Make sure your reservations are complete online before arriving. The Rangers check the spots multiple times a week. The kids enjoyed the playground and fields. It's not uncommon to see and hear movie/TV production crews at the filming locations along the road. Pet friendly but be careful at night. Mountain lions were spotted while there.

    Kenney Grove Park

    Small but peaceful

    Ok, so first off driving into this place feels a little "Texas Chainsaw" but don't worry, its fine. When I saw regional park I was expecting something way bigger however this is about the size of a small city park that turned its parking lot into a campground. None the less, we had a very pleasant stay. It was nice and quite despite it being Fourth of July weekend and we even had a few friendly bats fly around us. The playground was a bunch of old metal pieces that looked like you would surely break a leg so naturally my 2 and 4 year old LOVED it. LOL. Its in a great location with close drive to Ventura and Pismo beaches. Would definitely stay here again for a quick getaway.

    Oh and note, the full hook up sites are for Model A's (stayed at 56). So hook ups are on the opposite side and really close to the "entrance" so we couldnt back in, we had to parking our towing vehicle in the general parking area. We had our small travel trailer and thank God we had a 40 ft sewer hose.

    Santa Cruz Campground — Carpinteria State Beach

    Best Annual Trips

    My family has been camping here for 50+ years... should say enough! Best camping trip (with family, friends, solo, whatever!) you’ll have, safe area, very accessible. Bathrooms have power outlets, token-powered hot showers, and super close to town. Make sure you pack your food away at night.... raccoons are present!

    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.


Guide to Lebec

RV campgrounds near Lebec, California provide desert and mountain base locations for travelers navigating the Grapevine region. Situated at elevations between 3,000-4,000 feet, these camping areas experience temperature fluctuations of 30+ degrees between day and night during summer months. Most RV parks remain accessible year-round with paved roads, though winter storms occasionally restrict travel on mountain passes.

What to do

Glider watching at Mountain Valley RV Park: Located in Tehachapi, this campground sits adjacent to a small airport where you can observe gliders taking flight. "Sites are right off runway for glider flying. We ended up extending stay from one night to four to watch air force cadet competition," notes one visitor. Mountain Valley offers level pull-through sites approximately 30 minutes from Lebec.

Bike trails from RV parks: Bakersfield River Run RV Park provides direct access to extensive paved trails. "Adjacent to a great bike trail of 50+ miles," reports one reviewer who regularly visits their hometown. Though the Kern River bed is often dry, the path offers miles of flat, paved cycling opportunities.

Orange picking at groves: Several RV parks integrate fruit trees into their landscaping. At Orange Grove RV Park, campers can harvest fresh oranges during their stay. "My son and I enjoyed free orange picking," mentions one visitor. Another adds, "The oranges are absolutely fantastic and makes you wonder why you can't get the same quality in a store."

What campers like

Clean, modern shower facilities: Campgrounds in the Bakersfield area typically maintain above-average bathroom amenities. "The bathrooms and grounds are modern, the showers are fantastic," reports a visitor to Bakersfield River Run RV Park. Another notes these are "better than you'll find in most homes."

Consistent maintenance standards: A Country RV Park receives praise for cleanliness and organization. "Paved sites, well landscaped, they even have orange and lemon trees you can pick some fruit off of," mentions one camper. The park features gated security and consistently receives high ratings for grounds upkeep.

Quiet desert evenings: Despite proximity to transportation corridors, several campgrounds maintain relatively peaceful environments. "It's quiet at night. Just the white noise hum of the city and crickets. Really surprised with how well we've slept here given the location," notes a visitor to Hollywood RV Park. Mountain Valley RV Park visitors mention hearing coyotes at night, adding to the desert experience.

What you should know

Bathroom access restrictions: Some campgrounds lock facilities overnight. "Pretty ridiculous that all the toilets and showers in the RV park are locked from 10pm-7:30am. When you're paying a minimum of $59 a night, I'd expect I would at least be able to use the restroom in the middle of the night," notes one Bakersfield River Run visitor.

Train noise considerations: Parks near rail lines experience periodic disruption. At Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon, "a train runs around 3:30am every morning that was a disturbance," according to one camper. Request sites furthest from tracks when making reservations.

Variable site spacing: Campgrounds differ significantly in how they arrange sites. "The spaces are long and plenty of side room for slides," notes a visitor to Bear Mountain RV Park. Conversely, at some parks, campers report, "the sewer connection of your neighbor is 6 feet from your picnic table."

Tips for camping with families

Seasonal pool availability: Hollywood RV Park offers a unique environment with murals and themed streets. "Every street is themed with murals and art everywhere," notes a visitor. Children enjoy the visual elements, making walks around the park an activity itself.

Dog-friendly environments: Multiple parks provide designated pet areas. "They separate the residents and the short term people on two different sides of the park, so that's nice. Not a lot of shade and could absolutely use a playground for kids to play on," mentions an Orange Grove RV Park visitor regarding family considerations.

Activity scheduling: During summer months, some parks implement reservation systems for amenities. "During Covid, you get a 35-minute slot, 10 people at a time. Which was nice, who likes a crowded pool?!" explains one visitor about Bakersfield River Run's pool access system.

Tips from RVers

Electrical load management: During peak summer usage, electrical systems may struggle. "There were so many people running their AC that my surge protector kept shutting off on 'low current' below 104 volts," reports one RVer at a fully occupied park during summer months.

Park navigation challenges: Mountain Valley RV Park provides straightforward access with pull-through sites, but other parks require more careful maneuvering. "So tight I had to back out of a pull-through space because road was too narrow to make the turn pulling forward," notes one RVer about their experience at a coastal park.

Cell service reliability: Connectivity remains consistent throughout most parks in the region. "Starlink and Verizon service both work great here," reports a Mountain Valley visitor. This contrasts with more remote camping areas where reception may be unreliable.
