We did not camp "behind the gate", in fact it was not mentioned as an option. This is a beautiful setting with lots of room to hike and explore. The site we were in was quite narrow but luckily we only had one neighbor. It is QUITE a distance from the highway and way up the hill but gives you a break from the heat. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Lots of room "behind the gate." Very rural including a flock of sheep which were herded through the site. We were visited by "Milo", the very large white dog from the nearby convent. Peaceful and quiet. Not busy, even during peak season. Room for at least 2 RVs at each site. Two lakes stocked with fish. A great getaway. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Terrific spot. Beautiful scenery. Owners were very helpful in accommodating us with a last minute reservation. We stayed in the full hookup section which had good facilities. Nice views. Next time we might go for the private sites "behind the gate". Nice hiking area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed in 'behind the gate' part of park that is only open Memorial Day to Labor Day. There are two ponds and Bass, Blue Gill and Catfish in both. Each one of the campsites can easily accomodate 2-4 rigs. Fire rings and picnic tables at each site. Can't rate this park any higher as the roads are dirt and gravel. Sites are level and all have a beautiful view. Not fancy mega resort, just a great place to back to, time after time. One of our 2 favorites! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Camped at the Premium spaces thru the locked gate and up the hill. These are almost group sites, will easily accomadate 2-6 RVs depending on size. 2 very nice ponds and a cow that wanders thru eating the lush green grass. The owners are making improvements and we will definately be back. The lower portion is almost full with a very nice group of temp employees from the surrounding area, not the usual extended you may find. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We loved our stay here. We stayed in a premium site behind the gates and easily fit 4 trailers on sites 2 and 3 to form a group camp. It was waterfront and everyone caught fish. There are huge catfish, trout, bass and bluegill. It is definitely isolated and you feel like you are getting away from it all. We'll be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a great campgrond for getting away. The full hookup sites are pretty close together, but the premium sites are definitely worth the extra money. The premiun sites do not have sewer, and most have 30AMP electric and water. There is a dump station near the restrooms by the lake. The bathrooms could be a little cleaner, but this is a husband and wife run campground. This is the only reason the are not a 10. The lakes are catch and release with lots of catfish. Most of the lake sites can accomodate more than one rig, great for group camping. Large groups can rent the whole Lake area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great quiet park. No sewer hookups, just water and electric. Clean park with tall shade trees. Nice place to stay. Park is next to runway of a glider airport. Excellent place to stay if you have a glider. The only sounds we heard were from a few take-offs in the morning and the wind. Definitely will stay here in the future. The eight rating is because there is no sewer hookup for longer stays. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice place to spend the night, Next to Glider airport. Far enough from the freeway so you don't hear trucks all night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A great limited service RV park that is off the beaten path a little. Basic RV needs are available and the park is quiet and well maintained. Yes it's beside the glider airport runway, but that idi not really affect the general peacefullness of this RV park. We would definitely stay here again when visiting this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This delightful, tree-lined park is just east of Tehachapi, about ¼-mile off Highway 58. The spaces are reasonably wide, there’s water and 30-amp electrical. The rest rooms and showers are spotless. The park has a dump station at the entrance. The scenery is pretty and there’s a nearby glider airport. WiFi is available but at $10 a day. No cable, although TV reception from Bakersfield is adequate. We camped here three days in our travel trailer. The rates are low, and they offer several discounts (including Good Sam, although the park isn't listed in the director). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here not as a stop over, but to try out the gliding opportunities at the airport. For as little as $85 you can get a 15-20 minute ride in a training glider. We chose the 30 minute flight in a high performance glider. We had a great time and would highly recommend you try them out. MVRP is a bit off of Hyw 58, but the nights we were there, they had quite a few stop over RV'ers. It is pretty quiet and the park has great mountain views from the back sites. We stayed in site 27. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This little RV park is clean and situated in a lovely setting adjacent to a small, country airport. I've read that it's used mostly for gliders, but I saw no planes land or take off while I was there. WiFi is offered, but at the outrageous rate of $11 per day. Great scenery in a quiet setting, but the lack of free WiFi, cable and sewer detracted from my overall experience and caused me to rate them only a 7. However, the rate was quite decent, so I'd recommend this place in spite of the aforementioned shortcomings if you're willing to part with amenities in exchange for a good deal. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A great setting, right near a very quiet airport that caters to the Glider pilots. Good access for Big Rigs. WiFi worked well. The park is a few decades old but, very well maintained. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is a couple of miles off the main highway, but very easy to find. Spaces are generous, park is well maintained, and the area is scenic and quiet. We stayed two nights to visit the famous Tehachapi loop on the railroad. Was very impressed by the town and surrounding area. Only complaint about the campground is the small number of washers and dryers in the laundry. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is our third visit to this park, as it is in a convenient, quiet location when crossing southern California. Nothing fancy, friendly staff, discounts for RV clubs, AAA, etc. The park is adjacent to a small airfield that specializes in glider flights; interesting to watch. The trees are getting a bit overgrown, so big rigs need to choose their sites carefully. Dump station available. The 4,000 ft. elevation of Tehachapi usually is considerably cooler than the surrounding areas - great in summer, maybe not so great in winter. With picnic tables, trees, and shade at each site, this is a very pleasant summer stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great for a quick stop over, not fancy. Bit of trouble accessing the WiFi, but did get it done. Water had air in line causing my water heater to "burp". Quiet and access is quick. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Nice, quiet spot with very friendly, helpful staff. Not much in the way of amenities, but
we weren't looking for any just for a quick overnight. Easy highway access for big rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This friendly, if not fancy, park is adjacent to the runway of a local airport with little traffic; and, across the road from an apple orchard, at 4000 foot elevation. They give 10% discount for Good Sam, AAA, and others. There are some transient workers living here. A very scenic area. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
