Best Campgrounds near Tehachapi, CA

For $32, you can get a site off the river and have a little camping pit and picnic table and you’re around other RVs and it’s good. I opted for locating a self created campsite in the area off the beaten path. It might not be allowed, but I was gone by 7 AM and I was super quiet. And I think that’s the thing if you’re super quiet and you’re gone early then probably not a problem. But if you’re planning to bring your camper to one of those secluded spots and making a lot of noise, then you may want to just get a $32 spot.

Took my partner here for her first camping trip, we had a blast. Plenty of firewood for sale from camp host, flush toilets, potable water from spigots. Definitely a good entry to camping. Close to pyramid lake about 2 miles.

Judging by the shape of the office, this place was a 60’s or 70’s KOA back in the day. The trees and bushes are fantastic. However just as our population has gotten larger over the years, so have the RVs. For a 43 footer this place is TIGHT. If you have a big rig, prolly not the best idea. But if you have a 28 footer, this place is Six Stars!!!! It has a pool and spa, great dog walking area. Propane and store are on site

We stayed at this wonderfull RV Park last week. The park is right on the river, clean and in wonderful condition. There is a sandy beach with water access. The park is right near downtown and you can walk to cafe's, bakery, shops and market. Hope to return soon.

Well, for PCT lovers like myself it’a definitely a place worth staying and have a little time off to meet some hikers and enjoy the peacefullness. There are restrooms but any flowing water available. The space is pretty tight there too, but it’s managable.

The spot is definitely good to simply stay over the night and move on quickly. Not much around, but definitely quiet and with lots of space.

So we came from the east side wanting to enter Edwards, but as this is an Air Force Base and so military ground, they obviously didn’t let us in. The GPS says as if you could easily go through there, but obv. they stop you. I spoke to the officer who was super kind and he didn’t know about any possibility to camp or whatsoever, beside for people who work for the military. So as a European tourist I definitely fell into a trap haha.

The campground has lots of space, hookups, restrooms etc. It’s quiet and peaceful indeed. Nothing around really, just the desert which I liked. But I saw the openong hours info a little too late and everything was closed (also showers/restrooms) and so we would have been stuck till next morning 6am. Our van has amenties we could use, but I wished to have a proper shower. Also these require tokens, which you can only get if the registration’s open.

The spot seems beautiful and peaceful. I was just a little disappointed that they charge $35, but the restrooms were partially well-kept. I couldn’t use the shower in two women restrooms, but my brother had full on hot shower in the mens. There is not much to do, as you cannot bath in the lake and it’s bit windy. The host was super nice though and I always appreciate friendly people!!
