Bakersfield River Run Rv Park

There’s plenty of greenery and trees around the sites, but being so close to Hwy 99/Hwy 5 made it extremely loud. We were traveling with our indoor/outdoor cat, who uses a contained catio. Sprinklers got our chairs, outdoor rug, and catio wet, so we left the catio behind the camper to dry while we ran errands. A little after we left, I got a text asking what it was and saying it needed to be put away when not in use. I explained it was drying out. The woman in the office was kind about it, but it struck me as odd when some long-term campers have toys, kids’ tents, sheds, garbage, and even cobwebs on their campers. Why call out a cared-for item that would only be there for two days? The rules should apply to everyone. A text with the gate code and wireless password would save guests another trip inside to ask. The wireless was useless, and the pool lounge chairs were so uncomfortable they seemed almost decorative. Cushions would help. Also, the replies to reviews seem AI-generated. A human response that actually addresses what people wrote would feel more compassionate. Hope that helps.

Driving through town, I was wondering what kind of horror I was headed for. Then I saw the sign and pulled into a clean, well-kept RV park. The young woman at the desk was really friendly. Lots of shopping is nearby, so I’d recommend it for a quick stay.

The campground was tidy, with nice sites and friendly service. I was disappointed that the pool was cold and not heated, and I hadn’t expected the showers to be in a separate building. I’d probably stay again, but those details are good to know ahead of time.

This place’s demand that I get rid of my dog is disgusting. She’s family to me, just like one of my children, and the owner waited until I’d been settled in for a week before bringing it up. He was rude and confrontational with my wife and son before even speaking to me. My dog wears a collar, yet he went around me and called Animal Control, claiming she was “attacking” people. She’s a very small dog who had simply barked as people walked by after accidentally getting out. My dogs aren’t property to throw away. The way this was handled felt cruel, malicious, and unprofessional, with no respect for the bond people have with their pets. If you care about your family, don’t spend a dime here. Stay away.
