We came into Bakersfield late after the national parks No answer on the telephone to reserve as a last minute walk in but the website gives instructions on how to self check in. Only thing is that I could not get a check in envelope because I didn’t have access to a lockbox number for walk ins. I still picked a spot and made ourselves at home for the night. In the morning I went to the office but it was still closed. I didn’t want to leave without paying so I just put money in the box. I plan on calling later when the office opens to let them know I did this. Sites are huge and place was very quiet and very well taken care of. Great stop heading back home.

We tow a 39' 5th wheel. We'd had a very long day driving thru LA. (twice long story) We found the campground after hours. It was very easy and convenient to check in....the pull thru spot easily fit our 56' length without unhitching. It's about a 10 minute drive from I5.

First off Crystal who works in the office is an absolute gem! She always makes sure that if I am confused about anything (and it happens lol) she will explain it to me until I get it. She also goes beyond her job and helps you with whatever she can... she is very caring and a great person! Secondly, I love the location! Its kinda outskirts but not TOO far away from a trip into town.. it's quite amd peaceful and the people who stay here are always so nice. Ive been staying here for a while now off n on and my dogs even love it! They have 2 dog parks for the doggies and a BBQ picnic table area thats real nice! Definitely worth a night or longer to stay!

★★★★★ “$41, full hookups, 50-amp, level spots, and literally two minutes off the 99. I pull in, make dinner, sleep like a rock, wake up, cook pancakes, and leave. Done. I’ve stayed here probably 15 times and it’s never let me down. Apparently some people are shocked—SHOCKED—that an RV park surrounded by America’s biggest dairies on the flattest part of the Central Valley occasionally smells like… cow poop. My fellow RVers, you are parked in the beating heart of California’s $8 billion dairy industry. That’s not a glitch, that’s the smell of your cheap milk and ice cream being made. If you wanted pine trees and unicorn farts, you should’ve kept driving another 2 hours into the mountains and paid triple. Bear Mountain is exactly what it claims to be: a clean, safe, no-drama overnight (or week) stop with great power and someone who actually answers the phone. David will eventually track you down and is friendly and gets you parked quick. If you’re the kind of RVer who just needs a spot to crash between here and there, this place is gold. If you need a scented candle and a white-noise machine to drown out the sound of prosperity… maybe stick to KOA. 😂 Highly recommend. I’ll be back next month, windows open, enjoying that authentic Central Valley perfume.”
