Bakersfield River Run RV Park

First Class all the way! Clean, easy access to sites, close to hwy and shopping, and great owners. The best in Bakersfield!!

There are two other parks in the area that we frequent, depending upon whether we want the convenience of the city, or a peaceful, country setting. This time, what we needed was a place for a single night's stay, so quick that neither jacks nor slides were going to be deployed. A steak house we enjoy is a medium walk/very short drive away. And Costco gas is right across the street. The pull-thru's are side by sides - a deal killer for me. Some are even the kind where one rig pulls in behind another. The back-ins were spaced much further apart and much prettier. Plenty of room for a 37 footer and CR-V. Like the others we use in the area, the pad is dirt, but appeared to be level. Unlike the others, these sites offer a very long concrete patio, making it useable for all types of RV's. The trees in our area offered no satellite interference. Noise from 99 was constant, but actually less disruptive than the road adjacent to our local alternative. We will definitely return for a much longer stay.

This was our second visit to this park. There are two others we usually use depending on our reason for being in the area. This park may well be elevated in my preference. I don't care for the pull thru's. Check their website for more info on that. For a stay where I'm unhooking the dinghy anyway, I consider their back-ins the best sites of the 3 parks we use. Very nice young lady in the office. Very busy Costco about a block away. When the rains come, our back-in site will have had a great view of the river.

We stayed in a pull through which is very close to your neighbor (read no separation at all). Everything else was good if it wasn't for the ants. I didn't even set up in the 1st site I was assigned due to the ants. The second site was better but still had some ants which I sprayed. Bottom line is I now have an ant infestation on board. I've been traveling for 7 months without pest issues and after 3 days here I am battling ants.

We were headed to Sequoia/Kings Canyon from Phoenix and wanted to stay in a first-come/first-served campground in Grant Grove. We figured we have a better chance of snagging a good site there early on a Sunday morning rather than late on a Saturday night. When we found this place online, we scheduled a stopover in Bakersfield after 8 hours of driving.

We arrived around 4:30, right before the office closed at 5:00 pm. The lady at the desk was cheerful and welcoming. We backed into our site, turned on the air conditioner, and went out to dinner. By the time we came home, our trailer was cooled off and we enjoyed a peaceful night in the RV park. There is a nice pool and stocked game and fitness rooms, too. They have a gift shop and small market area for forgotten essentials, as well.

Before we left early the next morning, we took advantage of the showers. The restroom and shower buildings are immaculate and have beautiful tile floors/walls and nice countertops/fixtures. They look brand new. This was our first stay in an RV park, and they've definitely set the bar high now.

The ride in takes you past some industrial areas, but then it opens up into an oasis of grass and blooming shrubs. The sites themselves have nice grass patches and patios. Our site backed up to the industrial area, but it was quiet and the fence blocked the view. Though the highway is adjacent to the property, the white noise wasn't bothersome. The pull-through sites are right next to each other. You're literally side-by-side with your neighbor. Those sites are more expensive, too, so I think the back-in areas are a better choice.

On the way home, we stayed a night here again. Though Bakersfield isn't a summer vacation destination, this park is a good place to stay when passing through.

Stayed one night on the way to Airizona. New clean facilities, well layer out with level sites. The back-in sites by the river are really nice, but for one night, we just got the basic pull through. They do have a newer store and office, don't have any details as we missed the hours they were open.

Great Park at a great rate... Close to everything. Uber to Buck Owens Crystal Palace was only 5$. Nice showers, store and friendly staff. Park is immaculate and well kept. Will always stay here when traveling through Bakersfield.

We made an unscheduled stop here due to illness, and moved once when we had to extend.

This is a lovely, very surprising, park. When you turn down the street you're in an industrial park area behind some hotels. Not very inviting. But as soon as you drive into the park grounds it's a different place!

Lovely grounds, well maintained. Every site has green space, but the back-ins are much, much nicer. The pull-throughs put your slides only a couple feet from your "utility side" wall/windows.

FHUs with the best set up we've seen in 29 states - very easy to hookup and very clean.

The park is along the river with a walking/biking trail just on the other side of a nice fence. Makes for a nice view.

Park WiFi worked well for us.

Nice little store for necessities and friendly, helpful staff.

I guess you should read out 1st review because it's still a great spot to stop in while traveling. We had a back in site this time, and it was more difficult due to the total length of our rig and truck, we were near the bathroom area which is tighter compared to the other areas. Other than that it's great. we'll stay again.

Stayed here just one night with out 25’ travel trailer in a pull thought site. Lots of room and right next to the bathroom/showers which were nice and clean. You can hear freeway noise but it’s not that bad. This place is within a couple miles of a lot of conveniences. If you have a dog there is a big open area outside the gate to turn them loose. Always a plus for us.
We would stay again.
