Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is simply one of the finest campgrounds in the nation! Well, kept, shower rooms are amazing and a great pool for the family. I love this place! It is close to stores, restaurants and main highways, yet you feel you are in your own oasis! I've stayed here twice and both times were excellent.

Stay away from this RV spot!!! This was a place we loved to visit and stay at for at least 7-10 days at a time, 2-3 times a year and have spent thousands of dollars in the last 3 years giving them our business. We loved it so much that we rented their party room and spend $200+ to rent and made sure to return the building back to them in clean condition. Now that we are trying to rent the party room again they came up with a BS excuse about the parking situation when that was never an issue before. Why have additional parking spaces in front for the office next to the party room, if you don't want customer to park in the additional parking area?!! His wife Noelle then called my wife to give her another excuse and her second excuse was that her husband didn't think that for our type of party (10 & 16 year old party) was something he didn't feel he could accommodate. We have seen many times where you guys have rented to big groups with plenty of vehicles in front of the party room. RYAN, your excuse was and is garbage and thanks for not letting a Veteran feel welcomed there. To the people who plan on booking with them, i'd advise to stay away if you don't want to be treated unfairly. Please give your time and your money to another RV park who will appreciate their customers!!

Hi! Thank you for letting us know about your recent experience with our party room rental. We're sorry to hear about the frustration and disappointment you've felt. We want to explain that our decision regarding the party room and parking wasn't meant to make anyone feel unwelcome. We've been trying to ensure everyone staying at our RV park can enjoy all our facilities without parking issues. This has led us to be more careful about the size and type of events we host to keep things comfortable for all our guests. We understand this change might not sit well with everyone, and we're sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. Your feedback is very important to us, and we're here to talk more about this if you'd like. We hope that you'll give us another chance in the future!

Nice park for one night stop. It’s in the middle of town, so don’t expect scenery. The pull throughs are a little odd in that the sewer hookups for two sites are together, so RVs are parked in opposing directions right next to each other. And I mean really close. It’s not ideal to have your slider window look right into your neighbor’s window. But there are nice grassy areas with each spot. The spots are gravel/dirt and our spot was not level, but it wasn’t too bad. There’s a pool, nice shower facilities and a small shop with snacks and other items. There is no dog park or trails within the park. People seemed to be enjoying the park, and we felt safe and secure. But it really is an urban setting, and close quarters. I wouldn’t make it more than a great stop on my way to somewhere else.

I wanted so badly to give this park a great review, but after my stay my opinion was drastically changed. The park is well maintained, lots of grass and concrete pads. No problem setting up and it was a welcome place after driving all day. However caddy-corner to my site was a small, one axle trailer with a boatload of children and at least two dogs. These children made any hope of a peaceful evening impossible. They were all over the place, screaming, yelling, throwing balls in other sites, and the mother was just as loud trying to keep them under control. Every time I'd come out of my RV with my dog, their small dog would continually bark. One of the kids came close to my site with the dog on a leash to have his dog stand there and bark at mine. I had to ask him to leave. Around 7am the next morning it all started again. The mother was hollering as she chased after one of the kids, the kids were all out hollering, making weird noises and just being total pains. I went to the office when it opened and reported the problem I had. I walked out after the office lady said, "Well, kids are going to play, this is a campground." In other words, the hell with you paying customer, the kids can do anything they want. I thought I'd be offered a refund, but ended up having to ask for it only to be texted, "I don't have the authority to do that; I'll have to speak to the manager." I checked out as quickly as I could.

Hi! We appreciate your feedback and want to address your concerns. We're glad you found our park well-maintained and convenient for setup. Regarding the neighboring family, our investigation shows that they were within their site during quiet hours, and any increased activity occurred after 7:45 AM. Some nearby guests did notice the children but didn't find them overly disruptive, especially since they are early risers and didn't hear disturbances in the early morning. We also have a janitor on site starting at 9:30 PM and a daytime maintenance man starting at 7:00 AM. Neither of them heard the children being loud or doing anything that would seem to be disruptive to other guests. In addition, our office staff felt that the situation may have been misinterpreted, as they strive to maintain a family-friendly atmosphere. We do emphasize that we are a family-friendly park, and while we encourage children to play, we also prioritize guest comfort. If noise concerns arise, we're more than willing to address them promptly. We value your feedback. Until then, safe travels!

We stayed here one night while driving back to NorCal from the Grand Canyon. The park was clean & had a nice clubhouse. It appears to be a mix of short-term & long-term/fixed RVs. Be aware, the restrooms & laundry are only open from 730am-1000pm.

This place is a hidden gem. I will admit on the drive back to it I got a little leary of where we would be sleeping but upon pulling in it is a peaceful little gem on the river in bakersfield. We were only there for one night so we didn't get to experience all it had to offer, but the showers were LOVELY after a long RV trip of no showers. Full hookups no firepit not a big deal as long as you know ahead of time. We also were able to leave all our extra food from our trip with the office (a delight because we didn't want to throw stuff away). We also were able to top off our propane tanks for a great price and have full water and empty sewer tanks upon returning the RV to the rental place. I highly recommend.

The park location was a bit weird - behind an industrial area but still fairly easy to find. Right on the river, which we assume would be really nice when there is water in the river. No contact check-in and the staff were pleasant when I had a question. Lovely landscaping and very quiet at night. It was easy in and out for us as we were only staying one night.

The park is quite clean in general however the showers in lady's room sometimes dirty and drains plugged with water backed up. Otherwise, the park is nice and in a safe area. What ruins our experience is the rude and snappy, impatient woman in the front office. Horrible customer service from her. She needs a new "career".

This was our first stop on the start of our full time RV adventure. We had a back in but I paid to get pull through stop. No shade around but the restroom/ showers are nice and clean. This park is in the middle of a industrial area so it seems out of place but when the river flows it may be really nice. I would stay again because of the easy in and out. They have a nice store. Restaurants are a little ways away.
