Bakersfield KOA Journey

Here are our top reasons for taking a trip to a national park during the fall.

Happy , campers! In a recent review, this KOA was described as “its own little Adventureland” because of all the activities and amenities for our campers. We think that sums it up perfectly!

This KOA has massive a recreation area, too – a pickleball court, pool and splash pad, mini golf, and so much more make it hard to choose what activities to try first.
