Bakersfield KOA Journey

We stayed at Bakersfield KOA Journey in Bakersfield, California. (Campground Reviews listing.)

We do like the convenience of KOAs for one-night stops. This was another fairly fancy one, and we appreciated the on-site restaurant.

Our site:

A tree is a little too friendly; really should be trimmed more:

We always enjoy when a RV park has an onsite restaurant; this one has the Crest Bar & Grill:
