GuideCalled 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.
TravelerThis 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.
LegendWe loved this campground. The 3 nights we stayed here were really relaxing and peaceful. Almost all other campers were quiet and respectful and friendly. We won't talk about the noisy family with 4 rambunctious kids that busted in one evening, screamed and yelled for about 12 hours, straight, then just as dramatically busted out at 630am (!) the next morning. Other than them, all the campers, as well as the many people who stopped here to use the restroom or to park their car while they went hiking or bike riding were so chill and peaceful. Our 26ft motorhome was by far the biggest beast there. Other than a few small trailers, the other campers were all in camper vans, truck campers, or tents.
There is zero cell reception at the campground, but if you hike up the hill behind the campground you can get decent verizon and ATT (we didn't take our T-Mobile hotspot so we don't know for sure if there's T-Mobile reception there).
The Selby rocks are closed this time of year through July due to migratory bird nesting, but there's plenty of other hiking and exploring in the area, including some petroglyphs on the big rocks near the barn down the road.
It gets pretty windy at night.
There are 2 unisex vault toilets.
3 potable water spigots for water to be used while at the campground (as opposed to filling your RV tank)
A large metal structure which I assume is 3 horse corrals.
No trash service, please pack out what you bring in so this campground stays free and open.
Each site has a picnic table, fire pit, and a shade structure.
There is one "bonus" dispersed-type spot with a rock fire ring behind the campground, just go up the little hill and it's on the left.
The road coming in was doable, just some gravelly washboarding.
Highly recommend this campground! Apparently this time of year is the busy season due to amazing blooms, but this year was a dry winter so we didn't see many flowers.
GuideBakersfield 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.
Guide5+ 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.
GuideWe stayed for one night, after dry camping in Yosemite for several days. It was nice to fresh hot showers, do laundry, recharge everything and get a good night's sleep. The place is for RVs, no tent sites, fire rings or tables, but well spaced level pads, with full hookups, a concrete patio for your own table and chairs, grass, flowers, trees and landscaping. I took a dip in the swimming pool, it was very refreshing. The hot tub jets massaged my neck and shoulders after driving for several days. The site has a recreation room and outdoor grill with picnic tables. The location is close to 99 but not too loud. Costco is nearby. There is a river and a park on the other side of the RV Park fence. Overall just what we were looking for.
GuideClean, quiet RV Park right off the 99. Spotless bathrooms with great showers. They have a rec room, workout room, outdoor bbq area with a nice grill, à pool and a little store. Wifi, phone signal and cable were good. Other campers were friendly couples and families. We were the only ones with a rental rv. It was a Saturday night in October and they still had some open spaces.
GuideIt’s been awhile since I camped on Mt. Pinos but it was a very memorable experience. I went with a group to bird watch and hike .. gorgeous meadows and views, nice temps in summer, and astronomy groups set up in the peak that welcome you to look at Saturn. A great place to walk, mountain bike, camp and in winter it snows .. you can pull off the hey and make a snowman at the base in winter. Camping was easy and plenty of room. Pit toilets and some people may be sensitive to the nearly 9000 ft elevation but it’s worth a trip up.
