Brite Lake Campground

We are new owners of a pop up trailer and my husband and I went out to Brite Lake to escape the heat in Bakersfield for a few days. We really enjoyed our stay! I want to go back as soon as possible! We stayed in campsite 5 which is in the full hook up section. We had a view of the lake on one side and mountains and trees on the other, which was so nice! It was also a pretty large campsite. It was a short walk to the horse shoe pits, playground and volleyball court. It was so quiet and peaceful! Perfect place for a date weekend! There is no swimming in the lake though so I don't know if my kids would have enjoyed that part. I still think it would be fun tho. You can rent canoes by the hour. The fishing was so fun! We caught a lot of little tiny fish and one big carp! We saw a couple people catch big bass also. It was a great time. The only thing we didn't like is there are big stickers and foxtails down by the lake and we have dogs. But the customer service and host were awesome and we really enjoyed it. Cannot wait to sneak over there again!

Beautiful escape right in our backyard. Sure, if you're coming from somewhere far and looking for an exclusive, beautiful r v park, this might not be the one for you. But if you want something quiet comma well maintained,and peaceful than you have come to the right place.This is a hidden gem. Sure the bathrooms could use a little more care and the showers are fair. We are here with full hook up r v camping. The sides are really accessible and clean. They even have a dump station If your impartial hook ups. Lots of camp sites and you can even come for day use.Cannot stress enough that I highly recommend this site as we come often. Is camp host has always been friendly and helpful to us. Our sites have always been cleaned and maintained. We have come with high water and low water. The fishing is fair but you cannot have body contact with the water. Makes me sad I can't use my paddle board here. But a kayak will do.Definitely recommend you camp out today but please don't take my favorite r v site.

I met my family here while they were camping. I only stayed for the day. They fished but didn't catch anything. I saw lots of other people trying to fish but they didn't really catch anything either; people kept talking about how when the water level was extremely low a lot of grass and other plant life grew and kind of made it to where you have to go further into the lake to actually catch fish, plus you can't use a gas motor boat, because it's water that supplies the domestic and agricultural Tehachapi area. Don't know if the reasons for not catching fish is true.The camping grounds were nice and clean and so was the bathrooms; they have bathrooms close by and showers. They also have water, electric and sewer hookups plus fire pit. You can't swim in the water for the same reasons gas boats are prohibited ; which is probably why it wasn't so busy with people and kids.We were a group of 12 adults; we barbecued, told stories, took pictures, sat around the fire pit to keep warm, enjoyed the nature outdoors and had a really good time. It's nice that it's just far enough to get away from the city and close enough to drive there. Would surely come back.

Love kayaking on this lake. I have not camped here but there were bathrooms and it is pretty close to the city.

Beautiful Lake setting. They have dry camping, campsites with 30 amp power and water, and even have some sites with sewer hook ups. The camp hosts are very friendly and helpful. There is wildlife everywhere. The downside is that most of the sites are not very level, so bring extra leveling blocks and there is no swimming or gasoline powered boats allowed.

I'd go 3.5 but not an option. Had a nice stay Thursday-Saturday. Wanted to get out of the valley heat and it was cooler at Brite but still about 93*. It was comfortable in the shade and there are some sites with shade so that was nice. Couple of restrooms with one shower in each (which we did not use so that is not reflected in this rating). Porta potty by the picnic area (my son said it was pretty gross). A few trout were dying off, which is normal in the warmer weather so that won't reflect badly in my rating. Lots of ants roaming the ground and trees but we weren't bothered by them and they stayed out of the tent and the set up we had so no biggie. Lake levels were pretty low but we managed to get a few nice bass, sadly I couldn't find the crappie bite. Tons of HUNGRY baby bass attacking anything that moves in the water. Hopefully they grow big and stay hungry. I'd definitely come up again and enjoy the breezes, kayak the lake, and bait a hook.

We had so much fun camping at Brite Lake. It was Beautiful and peaceful. We took our 3 Grandkids and they had soooo much fun. Its close to town also if you forget something. We are going to go alot now that we went once. The workers were so friendly and so were the campers. We walked all the way around the Lake which is sooo clean. They have showers and toilets and the bathrooms were well lit and very clean. We only live 25 min. away so we will definitely be back.

I went camping here this week, (5/25-5/29)Very friendly staff, good fishing, clean and quiet campground. I will be back soon. Thank you for a great stay Don and Don.

I loved staying the night at this campground. I am glad for the hookups as the night was pretty cold. Long walks are a must here. The prices are reasonable as well. Check in is at 3pm and check out is at 12 noon and they mean it no matter if the place is full or empty. I felt a little rushed other than that it was a wonderful and relaxing time with lots of God's beauty all around me. I will be back!

BBQ and fire pit was full of ashes when we arrived. Camp host is not doing their job. I'm not cleaning up after someone else.
