Bakersfield River Run

I initially mis-booked my dates and immediately called the resort to correct this. When I called, a member of the team mentioned she was out of the office but would address this ASAP (within 2 hours). When I woke the next day, I thankfully had a voicemail stating the date was changed with no issues (thank you - you know who you are!) Arrival day - We stopped in here for a quick overnighter stay only. While the office closes early, 5:30 PM and our arrival was 7:30-ish, we thankfully had site information waiting for us taped to the office door. We were able to quickly navigate to our site, a nose-to-tail double pull through. Easy in and easy out! Sites were well manicured and level.

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.

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

An actual river runs through it



I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at River Run RV Park during our convention!

The grounds of River Run RV Park are simply stunning. Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, the park offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The well-maintained landscape added to the charm, and we couldn't help but feel refreshed and rejuvenated during our stay. For the first time there is an actual river! Thank you winter of 2022!

The amenities provided were top-notch, catering to every need of an RV traveler. The spacious sites were equipped with all the essential hook-ups and facilities, ensuring a comfortable stay for everyone. It was evident that the management takes great care in keeping the park clean and in excellent condition.

Throughout our convention, the staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had a fantastic time. They were always available to assist with any inquiries or requests, and their enthusiasm was contagious. It truly felt like they were as excited about our convention as we were!

Our experience at River Run RV Park exceeded all expectations, and we cannot wait to return. If you're looking for a place with a beautiful setting, exceptional staff, and a welcoming environment, look no further than River Run RV Park. It's an absolute gem that deserves all the stars and more!

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.

Stay away from this RV spot!!! This was a place we loved to visit and stay at for at least 7-10 days at a time, 2-3 times a year and have spent thousands of dollars in the last 3 years giving them our business. We loved it so much that we rented their party room and spend $200+ to rent and made sure to return the building back to them in clean condition. Now that we are trying to rent the party room again they came up with a BS excuse about the parking situation when that was never an issue before. Why have additional parking spaces in front for the office next to the party room, if you don't want customer to park in the additional parking area?!! His wife Noelle then called my wife to give her another excuse and her second excuse was that her husband didn't think that for our type of party (10 & 16 year old party) was something he didn't feel he could accommodate. We have seen many times where you guys have rented to big groups with plenty of vehicles in front of the party room. RYAN, your excuse was and is garbage and thanks for not letting a Veteran feel welcomed there.

To the people who plan on booking with them, i'd advise to stay away if you don't want to be treated unfairly. Please give your time and your money to another RV park who will appreciate their customers!!

This RV resort is amazing. Stayed two nights before and after trip to sequoias. Great facilities, clean, very well maintained and staff were super friendly. Market inside the office has just about anything you need in a pinch, including good selection of RV supplies. Would definitely stay here again.

We wanted to make the most of our time in Bakersfield while visiting family. What a wonderful park to stay at. Very clean, well kept and updated bathrooms.
The store has everything you could imagine. All the workers are kind.

And yes, we stayed here once again a few months ago as we began our cross-country adventure.

Nothing has changed from our January 2023 stay, except the weather was better! The park is clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, Costco still sells diesel, Benjy's is still there....all in all, a homerun!

Be sure to check out the gift shop. In addition to RV TP, milk, bread, etc., the selection of gifts is well-curated by one of the ladies in the shop. I brought some local raw milk butter and local honey to gift to my NC relatives, who were suitably impressed!

The Kern River was still running.....and likely still is!
