Bakersfield KOA Journey

People come from all over to stay at this beautiful secure place, we used to go to the Old Drive In, in the 1970's, 1980's, and 1990's.Our friends from Montana, who drive south for the winter, stay at this great KOA RV Park every year, and especially like the Alfredo Pasta. We like the Happy Hour (until 6 P.M.).The Egg Rolls are totally unique, and come with sweet and sour sauce. My other favorite is the Potato Skins, with sour cream and chives on the side.Our Server and Bartender was highly attentive...way more than average, along with her co-workers, and especially the gentleman who promptly removes used plates and utensils, and is super friendly and appreciative.

Last minute change of plans heading back home. I was able to call and get someone on the phone to answer my questions before booking. We had our doubts altering reading the Yelp and other site reviews but overall if you are just looking for a hot shower, place in between the bay area and SoCal for the night this will do the trick. We checked in late (around 12 am) and we got the text with gate code etc around 530 pm. Just in case after reading the reviews here in the notes in the reservation we said we would be coming later than 630 pm. Our welcome packet was where it was supposed to be and it was easy to find our spot. As other reviews have said very clean bathrooms and showers. After being at beaches and state parks this was a welcome change. Our dog was able to run around in the k9 park area before starting the trip back home. Overall we don't really pay attention to the amenities at KOAs but the gym and the pool looked decent.

We were told we were getting cold via text or email since we were arriving after hours . No text , no calls , no emails with codes to get in , we arrived after hours , couldn't get in and waiting for someone that had a code to get in . On in, found our spot and both our motorhome and the vehicle we were pulling were in the middle of both streets . Very disappointed at their customer service if they have one !!!!!!! Live and learn !! Never again !!!!!!!!

Disappointed with our last stay here, they advertise a heated pool online yet the pool was totally cold on our recent visit. When asked they tried to give several lame excuses why the pool was not heated. I think the place has gone down hill a bit since going KOA. Also the restaurant does not open until after breakfast time. Mike S.

Very clean and so convenient!! We used this as a stopover on our way up north and it was really great. Very clean and the staff was so helpful and nice! The restaurant and bar are so incredibly good! E will definitely stop by on our way through again!

Very clean, beautiful bathrooms, really nice people, even a restaurant and bar on the property! Great place to stay for a night on our way to Arizona!

I really love the resort. The receptionist Becca was very welcoming and greeted my husband and I with a warming smile. I will be staying again in the near future.

Very clean and well kept KOA. The showers, restrooms, gym and laundry room are well stocked and clean. We didn't eat at their on-site restaurant, Crest Bar & Grill, but I was told the food was good. However, we discovered So. Cal. Tamal only a 5 minute walk away, and the food was outstanding. The only drawback of this KOA is you can hear street traffic all day and night, and the light coming into your camper from the street lights is a little annoying at night.

The office staff was super friendly. The restaurant was amazing. Great burger homemade salad dressings. The park has tons of weeds poking up, the grass is all starting to die, the palm trees have dead branches hanging. Not sure we would stay here again. It's a great halfway point.

There gates don't close and lock like there supposed to , and this has opened the doors to homeless and thrives to steal our hard earned goods in our camp sites . They're not fixing the gates and reuse to get security at night! They charge so much to the campers, even more now our property has been stolen . *BEWARE* staying thereThieves brought bolt cutters so they cut our locks off our stuff.
