We overnighted here on our way back from AZ. The staff was very nice and accommodated our request to move from our no grass pull through to a site with grass. The width of the spots was very good and we had a nice long, level pull thru. Our particular site wasn’t paved, but we were willing to sacrifice that for the grass next to us. More mature trees would have been nice. We did not use the showers, but we did enjoy their pool and since it was very hot, we appreciated that they let our young daughter in with swim diapers. The cable didn’t work at our site, but since we were only there for one night it wasn’t a big deal and we hijacked the connection from the empty site next to us. Overall a very nice stay in a clean park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We used it as a stopover to and from Arizona. Easy access, plenty of room for extra vehicle and quad trailer (note: in addition to 5er and truck) It was a spotless park. There's traffic noise, but it's fine for an overnite. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The past reviews for this park seem to be all over the map. This was the second time that we have stayed at this park, and we really like it. It is a convenient place to layover for a few days when travelling through California on the way to the Southwest. The park is clean, and the sites are large, if somewhat close together. Coming from the rainy Northwest, we get a big kick out of camping among the orange trees and picking oranges. Contrary to one poster's comments, we have found these to be the juiciest, tastiest oranges we've ever had. Free Wi-fi is available, but only in certain areas so let the staff know you want it when you check in or make your reservation. We also took advantage of the area set aside for washing cars and rigs. The laundry rooms have front-loading high efficiency washers and that was nice. There are free coffee and donuts in the office each morning, and the recreation facility is decorated in a cute log cabin/mountain retreat theme. When we checked in we received a coupon good for $2 off our next visit. The park wasn't very full when we were there this time, but the lady in the office said that they are very busy in January, so it's a good idea to make reservations at that time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stopped here several times and have always found the park to be clean and well maintained. There are always a lot of people here that appear to be somewhat long-term, but the sites are always clean. One section is just gravel, but the others have a small patch of grass between them. Lots of small trees, but not large enough for shade. There is a strong Wi-Fi signal at the site--but for $3/day, I don't use it. I consider this a nice stop for a few days. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had site #2 a level, paved, FHU pull-thru that was a decent size for our 30 ft class A. The park is very well kept, easy in and out (not far from the freeway, we got a little noise but not troublesome) with good cable. This was a very good stop over place for us, we'd use it again.

Large RV park, with pool that was very crowded. It was extremely hot. It was just okay for the night. The female clerk was particularly grumpy. The worst thing about the park was the power. The Voltmeter registered less than 110 Volts AC. That means if you ran your AC (A must) you should not run your Microwave as the power drain could blow out either or both. We camped here in a Motorhome.

More of a volume tightly packed RV Park. It is clean, and very well kept. The sites are ample and there's plenty of room on either side. The overnight spots are mostly gravel. I think longer stays get a small lawn area. They stored RV's across the isle from the campers, which is not particularly pretty to look at. Overall, an ok place. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Decent overnight spot when traveling through Bakersfield. We stayed 4 nights while visiting family in the area, then returned and spent two more nights after a trip to Indio. Only drawback is the messy decomposed granite/dirt on the pad. The "overnite" spots don't have any grass or concrete, so you track the gravel/dirt into the motorhome/trailer. Still, basically a good spot in Bakersfield. Friendly staff and place was very clean and neat. Good access for Big Rigs in pull-thrus (no trees to hit). We stayed here in April/May of 2006 with a 42' motorhome with towed vehicle. We camped here in a Motorhome.

CA. is hot but everyone builds their parks with no real means of shade. Trees do grow here. I noticed they build on top of each other also. The rent is high verses the economy. Around here they play games for you getting in full time. Like waiting lists or they are not taking full timers when they really do. What happened to first come first served? Not very honest up front. Why? This is the best park for the area. The water pressure gets very low at times. The bathrooms are very clean and so is the pool. Parking is a breeze. Level and hard no need for blocks. Has laundry room and store for snacks. This park will soon be getting bigger. Big family owned and operated. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I didn't think this park was as bad as many of the previous reviews have indicated. I notice most of those reviews are from well in the past, perhaps the park has been cleaned up alot since then as it looked OK to me. There are alot of permanent residents, but we didn't have any trouble or get any bad looks. We stayed only for one night when passing through. There is a huge area to park by the office when checking in. The site was good sized and separated by a small fence. Didn't use cable, did use Wifi and it was good. I would stay here again, but I also would explore other parks in Bakersfield as there surely has to be something better. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I arrived late in the evening to this park, stayed just long enough to get some sleep. That would be if I had not been put next to the managers trailer and the occupants hadn't turned their car headlights on and off several times shining directly into my trailer. The train noise was very loud, sounding like harleys riding through the park. Very unfriendly place, the residents gave me odd looks. The dog walk area was okay but signs everywhere else in the park telling you to keep pets off grass which I thought was ironic considering there were stray cats everywhere. I would not stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Wish I had read the reviews before staying here, would have tried another place. The ad in Trailer Life and Woodalls makes the park sound appealing but the park is not what is advertised. Very tight spaces separated by small wood fence. Yes, you can hear the train all night. The only positive about the park is the Wi-Fi for a small charge. We will try another park when in the area.

What a dive. Sites are small & difficult to manuever into. There was a dog running loose and messing in my yard. The dog run was of average size but clearly no one understood the "pick up after your own dog" theory. There were several seasonals and many were pretty trashy. I wouldn't stay here again despite the discount coupons. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I had previously stayed here and found the long-term tenants and the train to be only a distraction. However, on this visit, we were very disappointed to find that it was 90% long-term tenants with trashy sites, including multiple broken down vehicles. It looks like a ghetto! Thank goodness I have strong locks on my motorhome doors and didn't need to go outside. Very disappointing!!! We will NOT be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park had a bad environment, created in part by the junky, surly long term renters, and the lack of interest by the management. There were kids playing in the hot tub for hours (the same kids), and it appeared as if the showers were being used by more than the rv park tenants. We stayed two nights so we could play golf one day. It wasn't worth it. During one of the nights we were there, someone spray painted the back of our tow truck. Avoid this place.

This was by far one of the worst parks we have stayed at. The train track is located right by the RV park, and this train comes by quite often during the evening. The park by the way is on concrete, or asphalt, no grass or trees at this park, at least none that we saw. We take our chances on parks and this one wasnt a good one. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

First appearance looked okay for a one night stop. That was until the first train came thru! Then it seemed like it was every 15 minutes for awhile, but they ran all night.

Trains, all day and all night. Staff was not very friendly. This park must cater to the more permanent visitor as many site looked to be occupied by very long term residents. No grass, no patio pads, and sites are extremely close together. Some days there are a few chairs around the small pool, some days there are not. Would not recommend this park, there has got to be something better in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was an unbeliveable park, It sounded so great, It was the most horrible park I have
ever seen, junked cars wrecked carnival rides in the area, old wrecked motorhomes that people lived in. It is not like the web site shows at all. If it wouldn't of been very late at night we would have left. No palm tree lined streets, not even streets, just worn out path. Avoid this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a fairly new campground. All the sites are large with paved pads with grass at each site. The restrooms were tiled and clean. It appears that this may be a park with some permanent sites as the rules for pets indicate you must have prior approval to have a house pet. They do not have the pool finished and the store was not stocked yet. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We only camped here overnight. It was also fairly easy access from I-99 We camped here in a Motorhome.

This RV resort is truly a resort (unlike many who use the term). Concrete sites are level and spaced well. The restaurant will deliver to your door and has good food. Everyone who works there is extremely friendly and helpful. The pool is clean and resort-like, and the exercise room has the same feel. Kids are welcome, but they do not dominate the resort. There is a city park within walking distance to take dogs (though there were many off-leash dogs there). It is located in an urban area, which is safe and near a Wal-Mart and Starbucks (about 1 mile away). This is by far one of the nicest RV parks we have experienced. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Terrific park! We stayed here while getting some work done on our MH at CW. Simple check in, nice pool, and well maintained facility are just a few of the great assets of this park. They have a nice restaurant that is nice enough that many locals tell us they go there just to eat. If you want, they offer free delivery to your RV. They even provide you with a free newspaper on your doorstep every morning. We didn't notice any road noise at night, and only heard the train once. The next morning we were going to go to CW, but one of our hydraulic jacks wouldn't raise up. A very nice gentleman in a golf cart (not sure if he is the owner, manager, or employee) got a 6 foot long pry bar we could borrow to get the jack raised. It worked and we were on our way. We were planning on going back home after the work was done on our MH, but we liked the park so much, we decided to stay one more day. I would also like to add that if you don't have a computer with you for their wifi, they have four computers inside that are already logged in for use. If I ever come through Bakersfield again, I would definitely stay here again. I don't give out many tens because I feel there is always room for improvement. So my real rating is 9.5 with the only drawback being lack of shade. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It's very refreshing to experience an RV park with exceptional facilities and service! This park is well-managed, to say the least. The DG (decomposed granite) surface was not a problem for us, since there is grass and a concrete pad to the side of every site. The restaurant on site is excellent. Workout room is small, but the equipment is top-notch and brand new. In fact, everything is new (park is one year old). Our only complaint (and the reason we're not giving it a 10) was highway noise -- it seemed louder at night, probably due to the wind direction. We highly recommend this park, even it you go a bit out of your way to stay here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the nicest private park we have stayed in. The park is perfectly clean and well laid out. The on-site restaurant is an award winning delight! The only thing that kept this from a "10" is the noise from local traffic and the railroad horns. Well worth it if you are in the Bakersfield area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This place is awesome! Beautiful facilities, restaurant on site, clean, quiet. What more can you ask for when you're camping in the middle of Bakersfield, CA? The pool is heated and the kids had a blast swimming. Newspaper is delivered to your door. Wonderful people running the front desk. I highly recommend this place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice campground. I saw this one being built and thought, "Why build a campground here? It will never work". Was I wrong. We stopped here on the way down to San Diego and again on our way back. It is not too far off of Highway 99 and easy to get to. The check in staff are fantastic, as are all the help we encountered. Sites are up to 70' long so you can keep the toad hooked up. WiFi is strong and easy to access. There are other campgrounds in the area, but for the slightly ($4) higher price, this is the one! It would be a great facility for a rally. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were very pleased to find out that this RV Resort had opened up in this area. They offer so many amenities, you really have no need to go anywhere else. This park will be very beautiful after all the trees grow. The staff from the registration desk to the maintenance workers were all very friendly and helpful. The park was relatively quiet until the morning rush hour but after awhile it was not noticeable. The sites are decomposed granite with a concrete pad at the entry door. We had our MH washed and thought at first there was going to be a huge mess, to our amazement, all the water soaked right in with no run off. I was pleasantly surprised. We did use the laundry facilities and they were very nice and adequate. We unfortunately did not eat at the restaurant so we cannot comment on it. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This excellent new park has great potential. When the trees grow and offer more shade and if it is kept up as it is now, it will be one of the best in the area. The owners have done all they could to create a first class RV Park. There are however, a few areas, which will require close attention. The bathrooms/showers are very nice, but might require high maintenance to keep up and a single toilet in the men’s room might not adequately service everyone when in need. The constant traffic noise from nearby Highway 99 is a detractor, however is not uncommon along this busy highway, and after a while tends to blend in and become somewhat acceptable. Overall, this is a fine facility and only promises to get better. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I am giving a ten for only the second time in our two years of full time traveling. What this place doesn't have, you don't need. Every thing was perfect including the price which was very reasonable, and the meal at the restaurant was great as was the service. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a first-class park with excellent facilities. All of the staff members, including those in the on-site restaurant, were very pleasant to deal with. The restrooms and grounds were modern and spotless. We were there 2 nights, and will definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Excellent new park. Spacious sites, terrific customer service and great restaurant. The only thing I would change is to make the pads concrete. We will stay here anytime we are going through Bakersfield. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Except for the spotty cable reception and the lack of a picnic table, this place is top dog and worth a stay. The on site restaurant is nice and they have a small internet cafe if you didn't bring your laptop. The hot tub was nice and the shower/bathroom was clean and really nice. The next time we're out this way we will be staying here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As others have stated, this is a really nice, new RV resort. One of the more impressive RV check in office/stores I've seen. More like checking in at an upscale resort hotel! All facilities/buildings are first rate. The on site restaurant is really nice, and the food that we got from there was excellent. In fact, I had one of the best hamburgers I've ever had there! The Gargonzola burger. Highly recommend it! Interior roads are nicely paved. Sites are decomposed granite, which can be a bit messy. Sites are good size, with a nice concrete patio and grass area. Free Cable TV, exercise facility, and Wi-Fi are an added bonus. Only negative, and the reason we didn't give it a 10, is the road noise - but that's typical for any campground that is conveniently located near major highways. Hard to get highway convenience and quiet at the same time. This is a really well done RV resort. All the staff were super friendly and made us feel very welcome. We'd definitely stay here again if we are in Bakersfield area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very nice park for travelers going through Bakersfield. The showers and bathrooms were spotless. Excellent restaurant on site. Wifi was strong. Staff were friendly and helpful. It's primarily a parking lot, but they've made a real effort to put green space between every spot and there's a beautiful pool, hot tub and gym. The only criticism I have is that the sites have gravel that tracks into the rig. We camped here in a Motorhome.

New park that is very nicely laid out. Staff were friendly and helpful. Sites are very level and have pull throughs for big rigs. Easy access from highway 99 in Bakersfield. A little highway noise, but not bad. Has a nice pool and a restaurant onsite that delivers meals to your coach! Nice touch. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very friendly, accommodating staff. This is the best campground we've ever stayed at, and we've stayed at several. They are excellent with lots of extras. It's new so the trees are small, but so nice and clean. I highly recommend this campground to anyone who appreciates the finer things in life. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park in SW Bakersfield just off of Hwy 99. Large sites and wide roads in park. Extremely friendly staff. Good cafe. I did not like the decomposed granite pads, though, because it tracks into the rigs. They should have put in concrete, or at least put in larger gravel. I would recommend this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This location was excellent - we stayed just one night on our way home from Oregon to San Diego. The staff and security were very nice. The property was very clean, even the bathrooms were very nicely decorated. Wished there was a dog run for the boys - if there was it would have got a 10 out of 10. There is a restaurant on site. The pool area is very nice and there's a small 9-hole pitching area. Some spaces apparently have their own hot tubs. Well worth the $35. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park is sparkling clean, not a piece of trash to be seen, no dog droppings, spotless bathrooms/showers, fabulous pool and spa area, and great food at the on-site restaurant! This is an RV park in an urban setting, but it's extremely quiet, close to, but does not back up to the freeway and it beautiful. I highly recommend it to any Northern California travelers who need a stop over on their way south. Park management so very friendly. We will be back soon! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wow, what a place. I think they had been open a week when we arrived. Pretty wide open, like a parking lot, but the pool area was great, along with the restrooms. They looked like something out of a 5 star hotel. Just stayed one night on our way to Yosemite. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were lucky enough to get to stay here on opening weekend, and they treated us to all sorts of entertainment and free goodies. It ALMOST made the heat of Bakersfield tolerable! The clubhouse and restaurant are beautiful, the sites, though simple and not very big, are clean and they even manage to keep the grass green in that heat. If I ever have to go to Bakersfield again, I'll stay here! Camping World is just up the street from them, too! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very new park – very clean and well maintained, with the NICEST showers and bathrooms we have ever seen (tiled showers with glass doors), attached to a workout/gym area. Hosts are very helpful. Restaurant associated with the park (off the lobby) looked very nice, although we did not use the facility. It seemed to be very busy, and very popular, the night we were there. Wifi (free) at the campsites, and PCs available for guest use in the main building. Pool area was also exceptionally nice. Gravel pads with concrete patio and a little grass, although the trees are small, since the park just opened in April. We camped 1 night (overnight stop on a long trip) with no pets. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I found Bakersfield RV Park via Google. We were pleasantly surprised to find out it is new with ample spaces available. The office staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We chose a back-in and it was steps from the pool/spa, bathrooms, laundry and restaurant. Everything is spotless. All sites are sand with grass, 50 AMP, new trees. The food and prices in the restaurant are wonderful. They even offer food service to the coach! ( I have arrived!!) and a newspaper at the door. There is a local train but we have not found it disturbing. We highly recommend this park and will return when we can. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a real resort, complete with a fantastic restaurant. The pool is clean, big, and very inviting on a hot day. The restrooms are cleaner than any we have seen even in fancy hotels and there is a small exercise room/gym. If you are passing through Bakersfield and need a place to stay this is it. The only drawback may be the railroad and highway noise but if you are there in the summer you probably will have your windows closed and the AC on so these will be minimal. The owners are definitely trying their best to make this a first-class park and they have succeeded. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you are traveling through central California, be sure and check out the new "Bakersfield RV Resort". Brand new park just opened last month very close to State Hwy 99. If it had paved sites I would give it a 10. A 9 though for the wonderful Crest Bar and Grill, and every amenity you can think of at a great resort.

When we checked in we were impressed with the friendly staff. We we also introduced to the owner, who are always there. Pulling into our site was no problem. After we were all set up we went to the restaurant and had a bite to eat. The food was great! The sites had plenty of room for slide outs and a nice grassy area for the kids. We will be back when we come through town again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice new park in SW Bakersfield. Great facilities - restaurant, store, pool, fitness center, etc. Only negative for me was the decomposed granite pads - kind of dirty. Pads had grass and concrete patios, though. Staff was great! They are proud of their new place. Lots of room to maneuver big rigs - trees not a problem. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed the campground the evening we arrived. There were spaces available even on Thanksgiving weekend at this lakeside county park. When we woke up in the morning, though, the wind had shifted, and they were dumping dairy sludge on fields less than a mile away. The stench was unbearable, so we left immediately. Since this is the off season, sites were only $21. Plus $4 because we have a dog. Plus $5 because we have a toad. Ouch. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campsite is nice. It has a lot of grassy areas, trees, and a little bit of shade. There is also a nice play area if you have children. However, the lake is small and muddy, and not ideal/ potentially dangerous for swimmers with the boats on the water. We camped there in October and with just a few boats on the water. The water is choppy and is not good for wakeboarding. If your main purpose is to wakeboard, this is not the ideal place for you to camp. In addition, they erroneously gave us the wrong campsite and then made us move even after we had all of our chairs, tents up. They did not try to accomodate or compensate us for our troubles even though it was their mistake. We camped here in a Motorhome.
