    Campo Alto Campground

    Great Escape!

    This is a wonderful campground if you're looking to escape the crowds elsewhere. We were in spot 4 which was right next to the check in board. Despite the close proximity to the road the site was very big and had plenty of trees to throw our hammocks up and relax. Next time we would likely pick spots 6-8 or 13-17 as they were a little further into the campground and away from the main road.

    There is plenty of firewood to gather but I may suggest a small hatchet.

    The vault toilets were clean enough for vault toilets.

    My husband and I stayed Saturday to Monday and found that only a few hunters were left Sunday night and Monday morning and we enjoyed walking through the campground and checking out all the small viewpoints through the trees to the valleys below. The group sites looked spacious and awesome as well!

    Pine Mountain Club was close, quaint, and the people we met were friendly.

    We are keeping this spot in our back pockets for the next time we want to escape the busy city life!

    Perfection!

    Everything in this campground is 5 stars, the BEST one you will find in the Bakersfield area. They have a waiting list for monthly rates. Clean, grassy, bath houses and laundry, many different flowers, pool and hot tub, pool table near the gym.

    Accommodating and Clean

    Very convenient and super clean. The lady who answers the phone is super friendly and helpful. I think it's better for RVs and don't think there are any tent sites.

    Shady Haven RV Park and Mini Storage

    Worst campground I’ve ever stayed at!

    5+ years Full time RVer, worst ever campground we have ever stayed at, stayed in many states, long-term short-term, stayed at this one for two months, although had a reservation for three. Sites are too tight, everything‘s grayish/dusty and dirty, you’re near a rail track, that blows its horn for minutes 24/7, that includes 2 AM, that includes 4 AM. Many of the neighbors you’ll see look like they’re on (mental) disability and don’t look healthy. Hot tub is smelly and yellow water too often although they state they clean it almost weekly. I god major depression staying here.

    Quiet rolling hills

    Small campground for 12 smaller than 30 ft rigs or tents. Most are much smaller. Rough bumpy road for miles ether direction on a first come, first serve campground. Has vaulted toilet with no water or other services. If full, would seek off road area on right just as you approach. Has older building of interest. There was a great horned owl in one of the few eucalyptus trees at the campsite. Quiet and nice area to take a hike or two with pretty nice views if you like the high desert landscape. Warning not to travel dirt roads after a rain as you’re likely to get stuck. Better if you come in from the north side(58) on paved roads, but would limit you to boondocking likely because unable to get to this or Selby campgrounds. Selby is another first-come site to the NW

    Great and safe place

    Very well maintained place. Nice space between RV’s. Convenient trail in the back of the RV site along the river with restricted access so you can walk your dog. The staff are great.

    Spacious and beautiful private property. Friendly, accommodating hosts!

    I stayed for a quick stop overnight and found the site as described. Just a table, fire pit, and water spigot.  The hosts are very accommodating and made sure I was able to find my site after dark and were very responsive to my texts!  Cell service was fine and I felt perfectly safe as a solo female!  I really enjoyed the ranch dogs coming to hang out with me! I'll be back to try one of the other sites with more amazing views!

    Remote, quiet and great history

    While the sounds of highways and trains abound, the historical significance of this amazing site isn't lost to the sands of time. A pleasant, barely off the beaten path campground, this is worth a stop over before entering the hustle and bustle of southern California urban life.

    Walk around the town and listen to the history of this very significant town that was once the site of the largest hotel between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

    We are the only people here

    Great Sites right on the river!

    We had a blast here. Collin our camp host was fantastic. Vault bathrooms are what they are. We loved our 3 days here. Tubing, Fishing... though, river was very high and super fast, plus wrong lures make for no bites. But a great time still...

    Wildlife and fast river

    Great campsite (#21) right on rivers' edge. Winter runoff and water is high and fast. Shade during the day. Restrooms are being rebuilt but should be ready by mid to end of June. Porta potties for now but they are very clean. Geese, grebes, egrets, lots of ground squirrels and raccoons.

    Secluded Carrizo Plains Campsite

    Great RV and Camping Area

    We had the entire area- 2 1/2 acres!- to ourselves! However, better than that, there was no one around as far as the eye could see- which was amazing. Great views. Was worried about using the coordinates to find the site but they worked and there were a couple of signs placed so we knew we'd gotten to the right place. We enjoyed the fire pit and were pleased and surprised that a picnic table was provided as well.

    Beautiful, quiet and free

    7 regular campsites for car/ RV camping, and about 4-5 or so walk up sites behind the barn for tents only. There is parking at the barn. 

    Pretty busy little campground, but if you arrive and all the spots are taken I’d stick around because a lot of picnickers use camping spots for lunch and are gone shortly after. Not only that, but people kind of squeeze in any which way and make a spot for themselves for the night as well, and it was all fine.  The campground was so nice and quiet and peaceful - nobody had kids with them so it was just a mellow calm vibe the whole time, so relaxing.

    Very friendly and quiet vibes here, we really enjoyed it. Nice walking trails right from the campground as well.  Amazing wildflower blooms in spring.

    Toilets available, as well as water, but the spigot ran dry when we were here in April. 

    Zero Verizon coverage, even with the weboost, even from the top of the hill. ATT had good service, good enough for streaming and web browsing. 

    We made it here in our 26ft class c. The road coming in was rough but doable.  I wouldn't try coming in anything bigger, as it was we were the biggest giant thing there. We did fit in our spot along the edge but still felt very big.  The middle sites are not level but the ones along the edges were.

    Free, 14 day limit.  Ranger came through to check on things.

    Great location

    Nice and clean. Vault toilets. There’s water, but not sure if it’s potable, there wasn’t a sign. No trash service, you have to pack it out. There is an area for your horse. Walk in sites, rv/car camp/van/tent sites. It’s first come first serve, no reservations and it’s free.

    Reyes Creek Campground

    Nice stay but cold

    Reyes Creek was great. The drive was nice, very scenic. The campsite was nice but small. Campsites are very, very close together. Some are smaller than others. Especially closer to the creek are smaller. The bathrooms are very clean for a campsite bathroom. Jade was very helpful and informative. She told us about two trails, we did the lighter one that was very nice. I can see this place being very nice in the summer. The weather on the apps are wrong. You have to google a few things to get the right weather. It was much colder than expected at night, woke up to 29 degrees F and ice on my tent and car windows. Other people with us said they had ice in their tent.

    Orange Grove RV Park

    Best RV Park I’ve Stayed At

    We usually stay at RV parks as a last resort, preferring state parks and the like.

    That being said, this is the best RV park style site I have stayed at. Sites were generous size, facilities and grounds clean, staff friendly, and it was quiet.

    The pick your own oranges was a fun touch and the security and surrounded by orange groves made it feel further from the city than it is.

    If you go South on 99 to the big farm store, try the Okie Pies - good stuff!

    And their is a local fruit market just west down Edison and a short turn to the north - just follow the signs.

    Juiciest oranges I have ever had!

    Great spot when road is closed

    I went during March when the forest road leading to it (9N27) was closed from highway 95. I parked at the gate and walked the 1/2 with my gear. Made two trips. Was snowy and muddy and temp got to around 33 that night with 15 mph winds. Spacious campground. Black bear sign a few weeks old and also saw a bobcat. Mountains on all sides makes for a nice campground. It feels remote while being easy to access and I’d recommend.

    2 nights and 3 days

    Overall a really good first camping trip in our new trailer! Weather was shaky but the waterfront was really nice. Decent room between sites but the store wasn’t opened while I was there.
