Very nice park, with easy access into and out of. Nice large sites and the only thing that's lacking is shade. Couldn't get cable to work, but no big deal. Staff was very friendly. We will certainly return We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is great with grass between concrete pads and all have picnic tables. Wide pull thru for the big rigs and still room for my F350 truck parked sideways in front of my pad. Easy access off the highway. Many fast food and sit down restaurants close by. Would stay here again, this park is very quiet. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The only change in the park from previous reviews is that they have made more of the sites concrete rather than the dirt/gravel. Makes it much nicer. This is a great place for an overnight stop or to visit in the area. We have been here several times and it never changes---friendly staff, everything nice and clean, sparkling pool.

We stay here on over night trips to northern California. The park is easily accesses from the interstate. It is clean and maneuvering a large motorhome into spaces is easily done. Although the sites are mostly unshaded they are clean and neatly maintained. Each site has a picnic table. It is perfect for an overnight stay, but I would not think of this park as a destination rv resort park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

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.

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.

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.

There was a very friendly, helpful staff. It is easy access to sites which are level. It is close to the railway tracks, but we did not find this a problem. One of our reasons for being here was to view the Tehachapi Loop on the railway. The laundry was very clean and prices reasonable. Washrooms and showers were very clean. Swimming pool and hot tub were open and heated even though it is November. We have stayed here previously, and it appears that some of the long term residents have moved or cleaned up their sites. There was fast Wi-Fi, instant phone service at site, and good cable service all included in price. Citrus trees as well as palm trees are around the park. We will return.

This was not a favorite stop of ours. There is nothing wrong with the park, but there is nothing special about it either. The best part was a trip to the hot tub in the evening, and being the only people there in the pool area. That was relaxing. We just always hope for each night to be a memorable experience and this park brought nothing to create a special memory. We would look for a different place next time through Bakersfield. The staff was friendly and we appreciated that. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here three nights while we visited Sequoia National Forest and shopped Antique stores. The Park has a great dog run and they keep it nice. The railroad does run beside the Park but we didn't notice the noise all that much. We didn't have a reservation but had no problems. Staff was pleasant. Park has an exceptional map of the City that is wonderful to get to stores and streets. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had originally planned on staying in Barstow, review of that fiasco reflected in campground review, and were desperate to find an RV Park for the night. It was about 7pm when we called to check availability. We didn't know it at the time, but we spoke with the owner who was more than happy to accommodate us. Sites are easy to get in and out of. Clean park and well maintained. We only stayed overnight and wouldn't recommend park for an extended stay as it backs up to major railroad tracks with constant use. There are many long-term residents in the park; some keep their sites very nice, others don't. The park was very quiet at night, despite the trains going by on a regular 30 minute interval. Met the owner next morning at check-out; very nice and friendly. We got a better look at the overall appearance of the park and it wasn't bad. If we had to stay overnight there again we would.

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.

What a dive. Sites are small & difficult to manuever into. There was a dog running loose and messing in my yard.

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.

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.

We rank parks on three main issues. 1-the type of walking areas for dogs, 2-the size of the sites, and 3-cleanliness of the bathrooms. This park was a pleasant surprise. We also thought it was expensive for what you got, but it was clean and had a GREAT place to walk our dogs. We rarely feel comfortable walking them off leash, but we did here. The main walking trail is right off the park and it's a nice 3-4 mile walk. There is a dried up river bed too. We let our wilder dog run her butt off in it. The bathrooms were very clean. The sites were terribly small. We had to move from our original site because the folks next to us had their slide open and ours wouldn't open next to them. If they reduced the cost and didn't place folks so close to each other, I would have ranked this a 10. It's a great overnight spot. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It gripes me to pay this much money for a night, now I will look at it two ways. When I had kids, and we got limited time during the year, not a problem. But now that I'm on a fixed income and traveling eight months out of the year i average about 20 a night. Back to the campground, its nice, clean and new, but in this area it will be hard to sustain the price for overnighters without some kind of discount PA GS or something or else it will fall into the perms. and all the junk that goes with it. My main reason for stopping here was two working partners that I had worked with were here on a monthly rate, so we stopped here for a mini reunion. Other than that I would have stayed at the Walmart and moved on, at this price I won't be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

For an urban park, this place is decent. It is neat and well-maintained with good spacing between sites. There were lots of extended stay folks, but no old rigs surrounded by junk and no noisy neighbors. The staff was friendly and helpful. If you want the convenience of being in downtown Bakersfield, this is the place to be. We'll stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice spot for an overnight. Great location off of Hwy. 99 and not too far off I-5. Clean park with good cable and Wi-Fi and a friendly staff. Most pull-thrus are very close to each other, which makes things pretty tight. There's quite a bit of highway noise and an occasional train, which could be a problem for light sleepers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a new RV Park. It is a 10. The cable TV service has so many channels that I forgot about our Dish TV sat. stuff and promptly hooked in the cable. If there were any downsides at all, it would be the nest of sugar ants just outside our door. We suffered through it OK--LOL--we will stay here again (and have now 3 times) as it is great.

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.

There is a lot to like about this park. The pull-through sites were easy to level and hook up. There is a cable TV hookup included in your cost. The clubhouse has a very nice restaurant and is reasonably priced. The pool was very pretty and taken care of very well. The restrooms are immaculate. The grounds are nicely manicured and provide a pleasant setting. This RV park / resort presents an almost perfect camping experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wow! This is a perfect resort park if you're traveling on Hwy 99; especially, if you're looking for a great place to over-night and do not want to un-hook. It is very easy off and on the freeway (but 3 blocks west, hence no noise). They have at least 80 60' to 70' pull-throughs and, most importantly, they have a really good restaurant/bar located in the clubhouse. There is a very nice pool and spa and a beautiful outside patio (attached to the restaurant) with lots of seating and an outside fireplace. They have every amenity (except tables on the patios), but great Cable TV, 50 amp, great Wi-Fi, as well as a bank of at least 5 computers to use in the clubhouse,and nice concrete patios surrounded by a grassy area. Sites are compressed dirt, very level, and the roads are paved This is not a destination park as, let's face it, it's in Bakersfield. But what a great place for over-night. It would also be perfect for rallies and/or large parties. Great place! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Came to this park for a rally and was very happy that they held the rally here. Service has been exceptional and the people working here are going out of their way to make sure everyone is treated well. The sites are very level and just large enough for the RV, the tow vehicle or towed is parked in front on the street. Has not been a problem and with the wide streets there is enough room. We have decided that this will be the park we return to when ever in this area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The rate is $39.00 per night. Rate with Good Sam is $35.10. Weekly stay is $234.00. I hate to disagree with the reviewer from November, but this is an excellent park. The staff was outstanding. We asked for and received our morning paper. Yes, there is sand in the parking area, but even with a Golden Retriever, we had very little sand in our motorhome. The Crest Bar and Grill on site is great. We had both poo-poos and dinner on another night. Service was great, and the food was super. There were a lot of "folks" dining the night we were there-and it seemed as though service was quick and efficient. The reception area which also serves as a "small store" was very pleasant and a reasonable amount of items were for sale. Yes, we heard the roosters in the morning, but it was better than hearing trains or planes roaring nearby. We would definitely stay here the next time we are in the area. It is very accessible from CA 99. There is a shopping center about 1-1/ miles away for shopping needs. Try this park. We think you will like it. It is only about 2 years old. It was formally a Drive In Theater. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I hate to downgrade a park I rated so high less than a year ago but I must. We stopped here for a night on the way to Las Vegas and then a week later on the way home. On both stays we found the pet litter receptacle overflowing and no morning paper and the sand is impossible to keep out of the coach. In addition, there is a chicken farm/horse stable on the south end of the park that is noisy and smells very bad. While I know this is not controllable by the park, it does exist and will influence any future stays. Staff is very nice but the restaurant and gift shop have slipped a little too.

This facility can rightly call itself a resort as it provides all the amenities one would expect in a resort, such as pool, exercise room, restaurant, etc. Wi-Fi was free with good signal at each site. Cell phone access and cable TV great. Each site had a lawn and concrete pad, though picnic tables were missing at most sites. Park is new and it will be some time before the trees at each site are large enough to provide the much needed shade in hot Bakersfield. Registration Office attractive and provides coffee and cookies. Office personnel courtesy and helpful. The only negative for me was the free newspaper delivered to the occupants step arrived at about 8:00 am just as we were leaving. 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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 arrived at this Park during the lunch hour. The sign said to pick your space and register when the office re-opened. The sites are rather strange and you park nose to bumper with another unit or if they aren't full, you have the whole site. When we went up to the office, we were told that we'd have to move as that site was reserved. No barricades were in the entrance or exit of this particular site. We left. 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.

The campground at Buena Vista Aquatic park was not very busy at the end of February so we had a choice spot at the lake front where waterfowl were literally foraging in the grassy area at the waters edge and right in front of our campsite. The view of Lake Webb as the sun was setting was awesome as was the view, on the other side of the lake, of the snowcapped Temblor Range. A 35 mile drive to the other side of this mountain range is the Carizzo Plain national monument. Buena Vista park was a great overnight stop and the drive through the town of Arvin to Tehachapi Pass in our 31' MH was scenic and an easy drive. We will definitely make a return trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a very nice good-size park with very nice workers. The park is well kept up. The sites are very long and plenty wide. Each site has an orange tree. The oranges were out of season, but there were very fragrant blossoms on the trees. The streets in the park are easy to maneuver for big rigs. There is also an area where you can wash your RV and it includes the hose. The Wi-Fi was free and worked well. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Clean, well maintained park, yet thankfully isn't the usual expanse of concrete and asphalt. Pet friendly, offers a large area for dogs to do their thing with necessary garbage cans and pick up tools. Better yet, always carry your own doggy bag. Will certainly stay here again.

This is a nice clean park. The oranges had all been harvested by the time we arrived but the trees were in bloom. The sites are mostly pull throughs and long enough to accomodate our 55' trailer and truck. Wide enough to get all the slides out. Bit of highway noise as it is right off highways on two sides. Very level and easy for walking great staff. Would stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The novelty factor here is great--how often does one get to sleep with the perfume of orange blossoms wafting in one's RV windows? However, the easy access from Hwy 58 = road noise, and I had a picture of more trees separating and shading the sites. Sites are pretty darn close together and many trees are tiny. Certainly not a 4-paws up dog campground--just some area on the perimeter, in the dirt, with trash cans. No bags, no grass. Why is it that campgroundss have a "no dogs on the grass" policy? I get it when the off-limits grass is by the people facilities, but why can't they plant some grass for the dogs? I'm just sayin'. It makes a difference. There are big facility for groups here; lots of retirees and Class As, which is fine, but not our cup o' tea. We are partial to campgrounds with lots of kinds of people and vehicles. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We planned on staying a night, then switched that to a week, and now we're into our second week here. It is SO cool to be right in among the orange trees. Even though we're here a little early for them to be ripe, the manager gave us permission to pick a few and the ones we've picked taste great! How cool is it to step out of your trailer and pick an orange to eat? The bathrooms and showers are the cleanest (and largest) we've seen on our trip so far. The lodge is very cool looking and we've enjoyed watching our DVDs on their large screen TV. The only reason I didn't give them a 10 is because the pool table and exercise room both say nobody under 18 allowed. It would be nice if they said nobody under 18 without parent present, or something like that. Would we stay here again? If we're anywhere near Bakersfield, there's nowhere else we'd stay.

We stayed here on the way from the SF Bay Area to Las Vegas/Grand Canyon/Tucson. Very easy access from Hwy 58. Very nice check in people. I would not call what they have a “store” but they had a few items one might need. Our site was a pull through with a nice wide access, picnic table and full hookups including Wi-Fi. We got there right at the end of Orange season. There were fresh oranges on our table when we arrived and picked a few more to take with us. The bathroom and showers were the best I have ever seen! Very clean and well lit. Tile everywhere! Heck the bathroom in my house is not that clean! We liked this place so much we booked them for a night on our return trip. On the return trip there were lots of one/two night RVs. Very friendly people and everyone loved the campground. I would recommend this park for anyone traveling through the area.

We stayed here for two nights while passing through the area. The park is located outside the city limits with easy access to Highway 58. The railroad is nearby but the trains hardly ran at all. The sites are average with many pullthroughs. There are a number of permanent residents but they are clustered together in a different area then the folks traveling through and there didn't appear to be "junk" rigs. The park was formerly an orange grove and the owners have left a lot of the orange trees in place. You can borrow an orange picker and pick all the oranges you'd like when in season. The showers were spacious and clean if you choose to use them. The pool was opened but not heated. There is a lodge with large-screen TV and pool table which we used each evening and were the only people there. Coffee and donuts are available in the morning. The one drawback was that the sites were sandy and it was hard not to track the sand into the rig. Be sure to visit the fruit stand just around the block which has a large variety of nuts and fruit for purchase. I would stay here again if passing through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Clean and all systems working. I stayed in a newer section with reasonably level pull thru, (As are all sites). The woman in the office was very nice, and polite. When she learned I had much laundry to do, she placed me right across from the laundry building so I didn't have to walk far. It is good as a "service" park, for those wanting full amenities, but it is a classic large RV park with packed closely pull troughs, divided by Orange trees spaced far apart. Pet area leaves a bit to be desired, it's a perimeter walk among densely packed orange trees and very buggy. Good for a road haven or overnighter, but not a "Destination".

The information on this park's website is grossly misrepresented. There was no hot water in the showers. There is no "well-stocked country store." The country store consists of a few shelves in the office with a scarce supply of canned food and a few RV supplies, none of which we could use. The "coffee room" mentioned in their beautiful 4-color brochure is a table in the corner of the office where coffee and doughnuts are offered. If you are a tea drinker, you're out of luck.

Also they bunch all of the overnights together in one small area, the area we were in, so there was constant traffic and noise with large parts of the park vacant. The staff was very unfriendly. Their Internet was unreliable as well, went down three times while I was there. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is just an average park. The staff was not nasty or overly friendly (a plus for me). The sites are mostly dirt/crushed rock and not very level. Hardly a blade of grass anywhere. There are trees but not shade. A parking lot with trees as mentioned by others. The pet area was muddy from the irrigation of the orange trees with standing puddles that smelled. Appeared to be an after thought or way to discourage pets. The facilities appeared clean but I don't use them. The tap water was a strange cloudy color but tap water in California is frequently not pristine. There was noise from the farm road and freeway and trains. It was only about a third full but everyone was bunched together. Presumably because of the Wi-Fi access that was poor even though we were very near the office (space 137). The uniqueness of being able to pick oranges December to March maybe attractive for some. I would stay here again for the oranges perhaps or if I was passing through and really needed a place to pull off. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped in the park for a group gathering with 3 other rigs. The park is one of the nicer ones in Bakersfield area, clean, good maintenance of sites, fixtures and should rate a 9 or 10. Orange trees are nice touch. Campground is big, roomy and spaces are not too close together. However, we cannot give more than a 6 rating. Our complaint is about the office staff and hours. The hours are from 8-10 in the AM, and 2-6 in PM. What kind of office hours are those for travelers? Most travelers like to arrive late afternoon or early evening. The staff is not accommodating or courteous. Their attitude toward the customers that support their business is one that borders on rudeness. The (older)ladies in the office could certainly use some training in customer service skills. The management should find clerical staff that understand that travelers like us pay their bills and their salaries. A friendly, considerate staff makes more of an impression than a "polished" campground. Listen up, ladies, and wise up. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park is riddled with awful oranges left over from the seasons best. Management makes its clear by putting a note in everyones box that they are to keep their area clean themselves. The rent is high, so why make the owners of recreation vehicles do their work. Some of us came after the oranges were good, so we do the work, for no oranges. The woman manager is rude to everyone. We were leaving the state, and moved for the last 10 days in Calif. due to her not allowing even a small new dog pen outside. Ordering it to be removed. Dog weighted only one pound, and we feared for it, and were potty training. She has no people skills. Park has very clean bathroom with showers, and laundry room that has machines that are always out of order. Park was half empty. We will not be back. We stayed in a fifth wheel.

Have reviewed this park before and in my opinion for the rates that they charge it is no longer worth it. $37 nite for the outskirts of Bakersfield and $33 with Good Sam and other cards??? The park has sites of loose pea gravel, orange blossoms & leaves and mud when it rains to track into your rv. We arrived shortly before 7pm on a weekday and the office was closed. They want you to find your site from a map and then pay them the full rate and do everything yourself and if you don't have the correct change or want to use a credit card (card users have to pay the $37 rate) then you are out of luck - give me a break! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park is different, you park among orange trees. Overall, the sites are not that great and need a little work. We did walk around the park in the morning and noticed many permanents and seasonal sites. We thought the price was a little high for the right to pick oranges, if you could reach them. If in the area we might try one of the other parks, but wouldn't be opposed to spending a night here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I agree with the previous post. The ladies in the office would rather be somewhere else. They are extremely stoic and make you feel like they are doing you a favor. We have stayed here on many occasions in the past. The place is a gold mine and they are taking advantage by raising the rates to $29.00 with a cash or check discount. Sometimes success ruins a business. We will be looking for an alternate to this place in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We came for the oranges, and we weren't disappointed. Every site has at least one tree; the oranges were at their peak. We have never tasted oranges this good: sweet and juicy. To reach the oranges you need a special long picking tool, which the office will lend you, only for 30 minutes, to restrict the number of oranges you pick. That is enough time to pick a case of oranges! The Good Sam rate is $33; for repeat visitors they charge less. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I dont know why everyone is giving this park such high scores. It is basically a gravel parking lot with a few small trees in it. We stayed here for a few days and you couldn't use the bathroom in the mornings because they took so long to clean them! Yes, they are spotless, but that is because they are hardly used and cleaned to perfection every day. The staff were not friendly, you couldn't sit outside your trailer because anyone coming in would cover you in dust and there were no garbage bins on site just one dumpster at the exit. In the dog walk the bins were overflowing and smelly. I couldn't wait to leave this place and would not return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I reviewed this one with a "9" back in Oct. of 2004. I just stayed again and want to downgrade to a "7". Park's water system was pumping fine red dirt particles which plugged up my filter system. Nobody at the office said anything about this problem. Also, you can pay a "weekly" rate, or a "daily" rate. If you are visiting the area and aren't sure just how many days you'll be staying - you're in trouble because you have to "pre-pay" for the days and they don't refund if you leave early. I left town early and lost 50 bucks. No big deal, but kind of kinky seeing as how it is the "off season" and 90% of the park was empty. Come to think of it, let me downgrade even further to a "6" because of this policy in the off season! Park is still nice, with big motor home spaces. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I looked around and found this to be the best park in Bakersfield Area. Lots of room for
"Big Rigs." Orange trees are neatly trimmed, so no problem for large motor homes. A few miles east of town, but not bad. Modern hook-ups, long and wide sites (gravel), paved roads. Would stay here again when in this area. We stayed here with 42' motor home with towed vehicle in late Oct. '04. A good "nine." We camped here in a Motorhome.

Clean Park with friendly staff. Although this park is in a orange grove the trees are trimmed really short so not a lot of shade in the summer. All sites are small crushed gravel. Office was only open from 8am to 10am and 2pm to 6pm. If you arrive early then you pick your site and go to the office after 2pm to pay. Gives 20% off for mentioning their website.

Can't remember exactly about the price, but this was a super good RV park. They allowed me to use their modem hookup for as long as I wanted, providing no one was waiting to use it. I even updated my web page there. It was a beautiful park and even tho it was right next to the highway, we heard no road noise. The oranges were green when we were there, but it sure looked like they would be having a good crop. It was very
nice and we would surely return if we were going to be in that area again. We camped here in a camper.

We were just looking for an overnight, and that’s pretty much what we got. Sites are tight together, not much in the way of landscaping. Looks like a lot of long-termers. Facilities were old but clean. A strip of grass with a bag dispenser was provided for dogs, but this is not a doggie nirvana. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate quoted is Good Sam discount. Park has many seasonals. Sites are paved pull throughs with a concrete pad. Sewer outlet is in a raised utility island which made it awkward to place sewer hose. Wi-Fi requires a user name and password. Park has a laundry which requires a key from the office. Some joker arrived late at night and parked next to us. He parked his truck on my pad. This clown was banging away on some iron piece at 5am and idled his truck for 20 minutes while trying to hook up his fifth wheel. Hope I never cross his path again. Overall, this park served its purpose which was just an overnight stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the worst campground we have ever encountered! Spaces narrow and short. If you have slide-outs you will have very little room for anything else. Highway 99 is right beside you and you certainly can hear the traffic. Stray cats in abundance. Black widow spiders everywhere. At night the smell from a local rendering plant, farmers fields, a dairy farm and the city sanitation site is overwhelming. By far the worst were the managers. The wife was unbelievable! Rude, bossy, controlling and just a plain bully. Had a rule for everything and loved to enforce them. She acted like she was the owner and we were unwanted free-loaders that she had no choice, but to lower herself to associate with. I don't think she's ever clued into the fact that she was the hireling and we were the paying guests. We have a large r.v. and drive a newer cadillac so we are far from trailer trash, yet she managed to make us feel like trailer trash would be a step up. The only good thing I can think to say is that the long term tenants were lovely and access to highway 99 was a snap. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a well laid out, very clean RV park that’s much more a ‘parking lot’ than a ‘campground’. It had the nicest, cleanest bath/shower room of any of the places we stayed during our 16 day 3800 mile trip, but…. When I made my reservations, 3 months in advance, I told the clerk we’d be in around midnight. “No problem. There will be a note on the BB directing you to your site.” Well there was, but what they didn’t tell us was that unless you got there before the office closed (8pm?) you had no access to the bathrooms until it reopened @ 8am the next morning. Since we’re not self-contained this left us dashing across the freeway to the gas station fast/food place. We were not happy about this, but it wasn’t fatal. The park is within a hundred yard of the 99 freeway, so it was a very noisy night & we didn’t get much sleep despite not turning in until nearly 1am. We were up @ 6:30, back to the Jack In the Box, & waiting at the office door when it opened. The ‘rendering plant’ smell referred to in an earlier review was not in evidence that night. The reservation clerk had told me there’s none such in the area, but the smell could have been agricultural chemicals used on the cotton fields that surround them when I asked her specifically about it. When we went in to register, & get access to the shower, the woman behind the counter said “There’s normally a $5 deposit for the bathroom key..” I responded, “That’s fine, we’ll have it back in 10 minutes.” not realizing she hadn’t finished. She clicked her tongue, gave me “the look”, & waited for me to apologize for interrupting her. She then told me in a voice dripping with condescension that she had been going to waive the deposit. Since we now had access thru the office to the back door of the bathhouse, we didn’t’ need it anyway. We showered & escaped. I’ve no clue who (or what) she was, but we will never go back there. She had no way to know what my state of mind was, but there’s no excuse for someone in her business copping that attitude with a customer. I don’t go back to golf courses or ski resorts that act like they’re doing you a favor taking your money & allowing you to use their facilities & I certainly won’t do it at a place like this. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Park was very clean. My only complaint is that there isn't a combination to enter the restroom, but you have to pay 5 dollars, and only receive one key. None of the tenants even if they know you are to let you into the restrooms. We had a bad experience, because of the one key, and left as soon as our monthy rent was up. Lady manager was horrible. Thought she ran a camp for prisoners, and not people who were paying her salary. Would fly off the handle for any little thing. We stayed in a 5th wheel and will never go back.
