Bakersfield River Run

Wow! This place was so relaxing. I came here with my husband and two dogs in mid June. There was a lot of construction on the street you need to take (Gibson) and its through an industrial area. The park was about half full. Upon arrival, the welcome package was taped to the door. We got it ourselves and went to our site. The welcome map contained all the usual information and all sorts of tips and suggestions for places you can go.All sites are very spacious with full hook-ups and beautiful green grass. I couldn't get our Directv to work because we were blocked by trees but this place had awesome wifi. I was able to connect my Smart TV to it and we streamed all kinds of stuff.The park was large and although there was no dedicated dog park, there were several grassy spaces to walk around. The pool was great. We took our dogs into the area. I'm not sure if we were allowed but no one else used the pool while we were using it, so it seemed ok. Most people staying here were adults. I think that contributed to the relaxing atmosphere. One other thing I want to highlight is the fact that this place has control of their sprinklers. Most places just turn them on and have them spray all over the place and all over your stuff. These groundskeepers have all sprinklers perfectly aimed at the target areas. None of our stuff got wet and no water was wasted. Great job!I highly recommend this place if you want to go somewhere to escape reality.

Will not stay here again as they do not allow a dog fence. After putting up dog fence one morning, received a text at 8am the next morning that the fence could only be used when the dogs were in it. It takes easily 30 minutes to put the fence up and take down. When asked about this in the office, was told that this has been the campgrounds policy for 18 years. I am sure this policy was made before the portable fences were sold on Amazon. There are also no picnic tables at the RV sites. Bathrooms close at 10pm and no lock code is given but find out after we left that there is a lock code. Our RV group will be holding a rally in April at this park, but we will pass. The park was clean and they had a nice gift shop and clean bathrooms.

I only visited here to dump my RV waste tanks after cleaning them. The location is clean and maintained. If you arrive after hours, there is a sign to pay before you dump, which is easy and straightforward.

Very clean campground, big spaces, pet friendly and staff is very friendly Some full timers there but everyone is very nice

Careful when booking. Their words don't match their actions. I called and booked for a soccer tournament in town. We enquired about canceling because we were not guaranteed to make the tournament but a lady on the phone assured us we could cancel within 3 days of the booking and they would fully refund us. Well, the team didn't make the tournament so we called and cancelled 6 days and 8 hours before our reservation and they changed their stance and kept half the booking fees because it was less than 7 days before the check in. This is not a how a professional business is run. Avoid at all costs. There are plenty of RV resorts in Bakersfield that will happily not steal your money.Editing after owner replied. Just because it's your "policy" doesn't mean it's not stealing especially after being assured over the phone that we had time to cancel for a full refund. It was cancelled hours too late for your "policy" and as a business owner I'll never understand taking a hard stance on $50 after your incompetent employee assured us. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

I called after hours because on the website it wouldn't let me check into a site after 5 for the same day. But I was running into that problem at every park. This park tho answered after hours and told us there are instructions on the door on how to pick a site and pay. It was super easy to select what site worked best for us. The bathrooms are super clean,showers super clean and the grass part was well kept. It was $2 per pet which wasn't a big deal. She even told us about an rv sticker that we had to have on our bus that we weren't aware of. Each site has an outlet and depending how much power you select, it can power your rv. We're in a converted bus and just needed to run an extension. Recommend bringing! Great place and great service.

This park needs new mgmt. They cater to the full timers and not the vacationers. I would not recommend this place. We felt that the mgmt was rude and text blasted us. Instead of just calling us to find out the story.

Beautiful Facility! So glad we stopped for the night. In fact we stayed an extra day. Great prices Easy access, wide streets, well maintained.

Nice campground. Very upsetting that I paid extra to hold a site, when I checked in I was told it was taken. My confirmation paperwork had the site I paid for on it. I made my reservations over a month before.

This was our first time staying here, but our friends who we were also with us in their RV had stayed there several times before. We all said never again. Our site was nice, but we felt like we were being harassed all the time. We have been to hundreds of RV resorts and never had a problem putting up a dog fence. At this place, the office actually called us and said that our dogs were unattended. My wife was outside with the dogs and they reluctantly apologized. And they were inside our fenced in area.They knocked on our door the next day because my stepdaughter parked her car in front of our RV partly on the street which was very wide. It was not a hazard in any way. She had just stopped by to pick us up as we were heading to my son's wedding. So she moved her car.They also have a crazy requirement that if you have a dog fence up, it has to be taken down every night. It takes us a while to set up and keeps the dogs safe and secure. There is no way we would take it down every single night. Next time we will stay at the KOA in Bakersfield.
