Arguably the best RV park in Bakersfield, CA is Orange Grove RV Park. It’s situated in the middle of an actual orange grove. You can pick all the oranges you want, and bask in the scent of orange blossoms. It’s actually quite amazing to smell! I think many RVers will also claim Bakersfield RV...
Bakersfield, CA is host to few Wal-Marts. This one in particular is located at 2601 Fashion Plaza, right off of State Route 178 and Mt. Vernon Ave. From what I’ve read from reviews, this Wal-Mart is the better one to stay overnight at. This particular store tolerates RVers overnighting, and doesn’t have the druggies...
Morongo Casino, located in Cabazon, CA, is just minutes away from Palm Springs, and thus is a popular place for some free RV boondocking. The Casino maintains a policy of allowing visitors to park their RVs in a special lot located behind the old bowling alley. Sash and I set up our toy hauler...

Rockhouse Campground actually shows up on Google Maps, located northwest of Borrego Springs, CA. It lies right on the border with Anza Borrego Desert State Park, and there are parts of its that actually cross over the park boundary. However, all of the camping spots are located outside of the park. I’m not actually...
Woods Valley Kampground sounded like a nice place from the website, and when we arrived there, we generally found it a nice place, though desperately needing some work. As it turns out, we met the owners there, and they had just bought it a few months ago. The owners are actually from Arizona, and...
