RV Camping near Bakersfield, California

Bakersfield River Run RV Park

63 RV Sites

Bakersfield River Run RV Park in Bakersfield, California, offers 63 full-hookup RV sites along the Kern River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 80 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Six categories publish their lengths directly — back-ins at 50 feet, pull-throughs at 60, and river view back-ins at 60 — with a pool, fitness center, and clubhouse on site. Sixty-three sites span standard back-ins, 50-foot back-ins, pull-throughs, 60-foot pull-throughs, river view back-ins, and 60-foot river view back-ins, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 80 feet. Publishing length by category is genuinely useful — you know what fits before you book. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a fitness center, clubhouse, and recreation center open year-round. The Kern River runs alongside the property, and the river view categories are worth requesting. Pets are welcome. Bakersfield sits at the intersection of Highway 99 and Rosedale Highway in Kern County, the southern anchor of the San Joaquin Valley. That places the park at the junction of the Central Valley's I-5 and Highway 99 corridors and the mountain routes toward Sequoia National Park and the southern Sierra Nevada — practical access that road trippers, snowbirds, and weekend travelers all use. The park operates year-round. Winter snowbird traffic and summer highway travel both drive demand — reserve ahead for holiday weekends.

Lake Piru Recreation Area

228 RV Sites

Lake Piru Recreation Area in Piru, California, offers 228 RV sites on a 1,200-acre reservoir in Ventura County, with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 55 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full-hookup, electric-only, and no-hookup back-in categories serve every budget, with a marina and boat rentals on site. Two hundred twenty-eight back-in sites span full-hookup, electric-only, and no-hookup configurations, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 55 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. Accessible sites are available. The tiering by hookup level is genuinely useful — self-contained rigs can take a no-hookup site at a lower rate. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The reservoir carries the recreation. A marina and boat rentals put guests on the water, with boating, water sports, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing all running from the property. A disc golf course, walking trails, hiking, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, a playground, and a dog park fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Lake Piru sits where the Santa Felicia Dam impounds Piru Creek in the Topatopa Mountains, surrounded by the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and Los Padres National Forest — one of Southern California's most scenic accessible mountain lakes, roughly 60 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Summer draws heavy demand from the LA metro. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Lemon Cove Village RV Park

47 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites

Lemon Cove Village RV Park in California offers 47 RV sites and 10 tent sites in the Sierra foothills, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet, open all year. A Van Life Parking category and a water-only tier join full-hookup and water-and-electric pull-throughs, with an outdoor pool, clubhouse, and general store. Forty-seven sites span pull-thru 30-amp, pull-thru 30/50-amp, water-and-electric 30-amp, water only, and Van Life Parking categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet. The Van Life and water-only tiers are genuinely uncommon and right-size for smaller rigs rather than making them pay for space they cannot use. One billing note: rigs 37 feet or longer, or with two or more air conditioners or other high-draw appliances, may be subject to a $10 per night electrical surcharge. Ten tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, RV storage, boat storage, and recycling handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a clubhouse, sports courts, volleyball, horseshoes, gem mining, and a dog park filling the rest. Boating and a river are nearby, and the property operates as a wedding venue. Lemon Cove is the most convenient RV gateway to Sequoia and Kings Canyon, on the CA-198 approach along the Kaweah River in Tulare County. Summer fills the parks. Reserve well ahead.

Fishermans Wharf

30 RV Sites

Fisherman's Wharf at Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard, California, offers 30 paved dry camping RV sites positioned directly on the water, with rigs accepted to 50 feet. Boat docks, a boat ramp, and harbor dining sit steps away in one of the rarest urban coastal RV settings in California. Thirty back-in sites are dry camping throughout, sized to 50 feet. Plan accordingly — these are self-contained sites without hookups, so arrive with full water and empty tanks, and confirm current dump and fill arrangements with the harbor when you book. The paved pads and the waterfront position are what you are paying for, and in a market where coastal RV space is scarce and expensive, that trade is one many guests will happily make. Boat docks and a boat ramp give direct harbor access for boating and fishing, with on-site dining alongside and beaches nearby. Pets are welcome. Channel Islands Harbor is a protected anchorage with a working sportfishing fleet and a restaurant district built around it, and waking up on the water inside a real harbor rather than a campground is genuinely uncommon. The Channel Islands National Park visitor center and the boats that run to Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands leave from here, which makes this a natural base for a park trip. Oxnard's beaches, Ventura, and the Santa Monica Mountains are all close, with Los Angeles about an hour southeast. Summer drives the heaviest demand on the Southern California coast, with the Channel Islands boat season running spring through fall. Reserve well ahead, and confirm hookup and dump logistics before you arrive.

Sequoia Resort & RV Park

22 RV Sites, 4 Houses, 1 Apartment

Sequoia Resort & RV Park in Badger, CA, offers 22 full-hookup back-in RV sites and 5 apartment and house rentals, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 30-amp and back-in 50-amp, each carrying water, sewer, and electric. The 40-foot maximum reflects the mountain terrain — check it against your rig before booking. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a library, a dump station, bike rentals, and a community fire pit cover the essentials, with apartments and houses for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome. The property spreads across 377 acres of Sierra Nevada hillside with walking trails, boat docks, horseshoes, hiking, and biking. Badger sits at the gateway to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, and the resort is the closest full-service RV property to the north entrance — a genuine advantage in country where lodging is scarce and the drive in is long. Rates for sites and rentals are on the booking page. Park season books far ahead; confirm your rig length when you reserve.

Vinyl Vineyards

4 RV Sites, 6 Vintage RV Rentals

Vinyl Vineyards in Paso Robles, California, offers six vintage Airstream trailers themed to legendary musicians — Billie, Bowie, Cash, Jagger, Janis, and Zeppelin — alongside dry camping sites including an ADA-accessible option, on 120 acres of working vineyard. Sites take rigs to 50 feet, with a pool, hot tub, and disc golf course on the property. The six themed Airstream trailers are the signature accommodation, each named for the musician it is styled after. Dry camping sites accommodate self-contained rigs to 50 feet with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits, including a dedicated ADA-accessible site — note these are dry sites without hookups, so plan water and power. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. You may receive SMS messages before, during, or after your stay; reply STOP to opt out. An outdoor pool and hot tub anchor the property, with a disc golf course and walking trails through the vineyard. The dark rural sky makes for strong stargazing, and birding is productive across the acreage. A golf course is nearby, and wine tasting is effectively on site. Pets are welcome. The vineyard sits on the Union Road Wine Trail in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles — the largest wine appellation in California by acreage, where calcareous limestone soils and marine-influenced temperature swings produce Rhône varietals, Zinfandel, and Tempranillo. The trail's boutique wineries built their identity in deliberate contrast to corporate wine tourism. Harvest season and warm-weather weekends drive demand. With six trailers, reserve well ahead.

Pismo Sands RV Resort

48 RV Sites, 4 Cottages

Pismo Sands RV Resort in Oceano, California, offers 48 full-hookup pull-through RV sites and four cottages on the Central Coast, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 67 feet behind a gated entrance. A single pull-through category means no backing at any site, with an outdoor pool, hot tub, game room, and library. Forty-eight sites are pull-through throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 67 feet, with picnic tables. One consistent spec and no guesswork. Two things to know before booking: all RVs must be fully self-contained, and the on-site bathrooms close daily from 1 to 3pm for cleaning. Four cottages round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a game room, library, playground, dog park, basketball, shuffleboard, ping pong, and horseshoes filling the rest. A golf course and wine tasting are nearby. Pets are welcome. The position near the Halcyon Road exit off US-101 puts the Oceano Dunes, Pismo Beach, and Grover Beach minutes away, with the Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande wine country just inland and San Luis Obispo a short drive north. Summer drives the heaviest demand on the Central Coast, with the monarch butterfly grove at Pismo drawing visitors from November through February. Reserve well ahead for June through September.

Surf Outpost

95 RV Sites, 35 Tent Sites

Surf Outpost in Malibu, California, offers 95 full-hookup RV sites and 35 tent sites on the Pacific coast, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Ocean view, premium ocean view, and XL categories join no-view back-in sites, with beach access across Pacific Coast Highway. Ninety-five back-in sites span no view, no view XL, ocean view, ocean view XL, and premium ocean view categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables. The category structure is refreshingly plain about what you are paying for — an ocean view or not, and extra length or not. Thirty-five tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Beach access is on foot: down the driveway, right on PCH, then to the signal and crosswalk at the gas station. Stays of four nights or more in September run 20% off, applied automatically. The beach carries the recreation, with surfing, paddle boarding, swimming, hiking, and horseback riding all available. A dog park sits on the grounds. Pets are welcome. The Malibu coast's surf breaks and the Santa Monica Mountains meeting the Pacific make this one of the most photographed coastlines on earth — and full hookups here are genuinely scarce. Summer is peak on the Southern California coast. Reserve as far ahead as you can.

Pets are welcome. Oneida Lake anchors central New York's inland lake recreation, and Sylvan Beach sits close by. Year-round operation makes this viable well outside the summer window, including ice fishing season. Summer boating is the peak — reserve well ahead for July and August weekends.

Golden Village Palms Resort

Golden Village Palms Resort in Hemet, California, is one of the largest RV resorts in the state — a 55-plus destination in Riverside County's Diamond Valley with full-hookup sites, a spa, fitness center, mini-golf, and pickleball courts behind a gated entrance, open all year. Personal mailboxes and RV storage support the long-stay residents who fill it through the winter. Full-hookup sites serve the resort's largely seasonal population, with laundry, RV storage, personal mailboxes, restrooms, and showers handling the practical side, plus WiFi and recycling throughout. Check-in for RV sites is 1:00pm with check-out at 12:00pm; early arrivals and late departures may be available for a nominal fee, and cottage check-in times differ — confirm when booking. The amenity roster is the reason people come. An outdoor pool and spa anchor daily recreation, with a fitness center, clubhouse, craft room, and game room for the social calendar. Pickleball, bocce ball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, volleyball, billiards, corn hole, and sports courts fill the competitive side, with mini-golf and a dog park besides. On-site dining covers meals, live music and planned activities run through the season, and the resort also serves as a wedding venue. A casino, hiking, wine tasting, and hot air ballooning are all nearby. Pets are welcome. Hemet sits in the Diamond Valley between the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains, in the inland reach of Southern California — warm dry summers, mild winters, and a dramatic mountain backdrop, roughly 30 miles west of the Palm Springs resort corridor across the San Jacinto Fault. Winter is decisively the season. Book well ahead for January through March.

Paradise RV Park (Desert Hot Springs)

89 RV Sites

Paradise RV Park in Desert Hot Springs, California, offers 89 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet, behind a gated entrance in the Coachella Valley. A pool, fitness center, dog park, and pickleball courts serve a private desert community near Palm Springs. Eighty-nine back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with picnic tables and BBQ pits at the sites. The 20-amp option suits smaller trailers that do not need a full pedestal. Restrooms and WiFi serve the sites, and a gated entrance controls access — which matters for the long-stay guests who make up much of the winter occupancy. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool anchors daily recreation, with a fitness center for the rest of the day and a community fire pit for the evenings. Pickleball and bocce ball courts fill the competitive calendar, and a playground and dog park serve families and pets. The mountain and desert setting frames the property on every side. Desert Hot Springs is distinct from the valley's southern resort communities. Its famous natural mineral hot springs sustain a spa and wellness industry that operates independently of the Palm Springs tourist economy, which gives the town a quieter, more restorative character — and the hot spring access is genuinely the reason many guests choose this side of the valley. The San Jacinto Mountains rise to the south, with Palm Springs and Joshua Tree National Park both within easy reach. Winter is decisively the season in the Coachella Valley, when snowbirds fill the desert communities. Book well ahead for January through March, and expect April festival weeks to tighten availability across the entire valley.
