This park is a disaster. Their website promised a small lovely lake, places for us to hike with our dogs, plenty of wide open space and rolling verdant hills. The only thing rolling was us right out of the park when we were unable to find a spot. The place was packed with wall to wall (long term?) campers. We called the manager about possible overflow camping (we had been on the road all day and were exhausted) and were told the park was mostly closed because it was "seasonal" - whatever that means. Campers beware, and make sure to call ahead to see if the "seasonal" park is open.

This is a very cool little spot, in the hills surrounded by mountains in a neighborhood called Alpine. The ranch has a lot of land and there is some hiking into the more secluded areas of the grounds. There aren't many spots so I can see this place being busy and full. Most of the people seem to be full time residents. You have to call Valerie to get any assistance, they are never in the office. Access: The park is easily accessible, however the roads to get into the actual sites seem a little challenging though we made it in and so have others....we are almost 40' long. Location: Incredibly beautiful area, nestled away in a quiet neighborhood. Really stunning. Cleanliness: Clean grounds, main office/laundry is a little run down looking but the machines are pretty new. Just FYI they don't have a change machine, so make sure you have plenty of quarters before you do any laundry. NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS. Trash is behind the laundry room in a trailer, off the loop if you need to dump. Site Quality: Paved sites are mostly level, with water, electric and sewer, there is some debris from light posts that look to have been driven over/hit etc and some random parts with astroturf, but it is windy and if rainy then its muddy so those are actually nice to have. Noise: Only nature and neighbors, whom I rarely ever hear except maybe during the day. Gas stations and grocery are located within 10 minutes, if that. Old Towne Pizza is pretty good and close to the campground and you can also get change for laundry there. Further into town Albertsons is pretty nice but seems very busy most of the time and somewhat expensive though I am new to California. There is a Stater Brothers grocery in Mohave which is about 25 min away and maybe was a little cheaper...but probably not worth the farther drive. There is a redbox inside Albertsons so you can rent movies and a Baskin Robbins in the same shopping center for those who like that sort of thing (who doesn't like ice cream). Treasure Trove is a very cute little art supply place, with classes and local wares, the ladies who work there are very familiar with Tehachapi and can answer questions about the little town. Would NOT recommend the Village Grill, seemed like cafeteria food which would have been ok but over priced for what it was. We are actually still here so maybe we will try the BBQ place in town.... I accidentally left bars under the Verizon cell service, it should have been AT&T. I don't know how to remove the bars...

We have been here now for about 10 days. It is very quiet at the end of a dead end road. Absolutely no road noise. Lots of wild life. Laundry room and internet is excellent, but has to be purchased separately. Friendly manager. Most campers seem to be permanent. At the moment there are only 2 full hook up sites available and one is very short.
