When the old manager was here the bathrooms were 24/7 now the current manager bathrooms are 10-8 and still can't be open on time. This place is getting filled with tweakers living here. I feel unsafe at night time because tweakers are just wondering around at midnight around passing your rv. Assistant managers friend puts good reviews to hide the real reviews that make her look bad. This is a great park and nothing against the manager she doesn't live here but this place is turning into a tweaker spot which is scary because you don't know what to expect from them. read more

Shady management that don't listen to you and when you need maintenance they ignore you and give you the run around careless people that just want your money. bathrooms closed all the time and filthy toilets full of roaches read more

The park was very busy while we were there. We stayed several days, however our site was not close to being a good one. We have stayed there several times over the years, but we've never had such an awful site. It was not close to level with several large potholes on the asphalt pad, with a severe grade to the dirty sitting area. read more

Great place to live. Gated and secure. Clean pool and amenities. Park manager is an amazing person. Very nice and outgoing.

My dad lived there for almost 2 years and at first it was fine. But now they dont open the restrooms till after 1:30 pm because they are not cleaned yet which isn't acceptable when she has a 20 year old special needs son that got used to his morning showers. And there no reason why they can't have someone clean those restrooms its a huge inconvenience read more

Many of us residents are scared to speak up because this is our home, so anonymous review it is. The "family park" is always littered with dog poop. It was not even bothered to be picked up for the Easter egg hunt! The "dog park" is all dirt, and you guessed it, littered with dog poop. The bathrooms are always out of toilet paper and are not cleaned regularly. One of the sinks has been leaking. The laundry room floor is always full of dog hair and lint. I usually use a laundromat in town, but the washers and dryers are decent, just a little expensive. Speeding in the park is a problem. The speed limit is 5mph, not 20. Kids are everywhere. The pool is always dirty. The hot tub is..... barely warm. Definitely not hot. Both usually look cloudy, probably due to the bleach poured in and not being maintained appropriately. Not worth the amount of money spent when people cannot follow the rules laid out in the lease. Luckily, I shouldn't be stuck here much longer. read more

They don't deserve even one star. It's been 4 months of me trying to get my refund back. They will not give me a phone or email to anyone above them and now do not respond to my calls or emails. Very frustrating and horrible customer service. read more

So, I'm not sure if people who stay, live here can read or comprehend but pool etiquette would be nice. Who takes their dog to the pool see him urinating & do a poor job on cleaning it by opening the shower? That was absolutely disgusting!!! Also if y'all have a baby use the proper swimming diapers because all you're doing is soaking their diapers in the pool with their bowel moments & urine basically you want us swimming in their filth. I get we have no manager in sight on the weekends but holy smokes people it's not that hard to follow done simple rules for all of our well being & sanitation purposes. Fuc**en nasty! read more

We stayed here on our way home from Southern California to Northern California. I would definitely return. The grounds are super clean! The spaces are pull through, paved and very spacious. Was able to pull our 65 ft Rv and enclosed trailer right in no problem at all. The customer service was excellent. Checking in was easy then we were guided to our space. Staff and owners are super friendly and helpful. Location is right off the freeway easy to get to. It was quite besides the train which didn't bother me at all. read more

Shaded Haven RV Park - RV Parks Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I have never been more disappointed with an rv resort more than this place. Unsanitary conditions are just the start of it. Management was horrible. Ashley was the "manager" at the time, she did absolutely nothing to help the tenants. Complete trash of a rv park! Stay away from this place!!! They also make fake reviews. If you click on some of the recent reviews they don't align with someone who has actually been there. Don't trust the reviews, trust the pictures for proof!!! read more

Not sure why but every time I call it just has me leave a message and I do but never get a call back. Is it because of COVID? If so You should consider changing your voice message or posting on your website. I just want to make a reservation read more

We are back! It's amazing how much work the new owners have done, the place looks great! New changes include a new dog park, shaded parking spots and a smoke free property! read more

Feels like home. We found Shady Haven online after reviewing all that Bakersfield had to offer. We are locals here and weren't sure about the location since we were having to stay a couple months.. Let me tell you, we've never felt so at home. My husband is a lineman and is away from home A LOT, I homeschool our two boys and we are home alone a lot. We feel super safe, the kids can ride their bikes and play without worry. Our big lab is also comfortable, we can play frisbee at the dog parks with plenty of room and we all love the nice pool/spa. The owners go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Lots of traveling nurses and lineman who stay for months at a time, it's a quiet and safe community. We stay in the covered sites ($100 extra and well worth it in the summer) it helps to keep your energy bill down and camp cooler. We are super happy at Shady Haven. They are working daily to renovate all areas, and the improvements already done are awesome. So thankful we found this place! read more

Paul and Leah are amazing owners and have put so much money and love into the park it was hard to leave. We stayed for about a year with my 3 little dog for work and loved it. read more

Great place for storage, even though it gets hot in Bakersfield, we found that even on the hotest day, our unit stayed fairly cool so nothing got ruined. They have cameras and self entering gate with key card. Recommend getting the round lock. read more

I am a travel nurse and travel alone. I have always felt safe here. The park is beautiful. The owners are appreciative and very welcoming. It is a non smoking park which is amazing! The pool, hot tub, showers and laundry facilities are clean. If I every come through Bakersfield again this would be the only place I stay! read more

We used this park as our stopping point going and coming home from our trip. The first time we arrived at 2:05pm and saw the office closed 1:30-2:30 for lunch. We just made lunch in the coach. Once in, he said just pick a spot and here is your key card for the gate. No shade, too many permanent residents in the last 3 rows and dogs running around made me nervous. Pool/Spa down....train running all night and freeway very close. BUT we are all ready signed up to return when we come home. 2ND VISIT BACK To our surprise he moved us to the left side which was very clean, you had your own pad and it was much nicer. Nice dog area plus pool and spa were open and very clean. We still had the train/traffic noises but we were both so tired it didn't matter. Yes, I'd stay here again but for only one night sleep over. We used Passport America $20 a night read more

This was home for us for 5 months! The owners are amazing. Super family friendly. It's a very safe, clean park. There is a lot of trade worker families so everyone is pretty quiet. The new bathrooms and laundry room are beautifully updated! Propane is available on-site and the maintenance guy will pick it up for you in the mornings, making it very convenient! If we ever find ourselves working back in Bakersfield, we'll definitely be back at this park (as long as Leah & Paul are still the owners!) read more

Decent enough. Stayed one night. No complaints. Hook up was easy. Had a bit of trouble scanning channels. Otherwise perfectly fine.

My wife and myself were in need of a Park that could handle us more than overnight and on a month-to-month basis. This Park, especially its staff, have welcomed us with open arms. They keep an immaculately clean Park and are there to help any person staying there with anything they possibly can. I have stayed at many parks in my life, and this is at the top of my list. Child friendly, quiet, and everybody watches out for each other, and no crime. What more could you ask for? Ashley always goes beyond the call of duty for anything you want or need. This is the place you need to stay especially long term! read more

Gonna leave a review for the new owners and mgmt. I was a little apprehensive as the old owners were so good at managing and keeping it safe and secure and just down right friendly. The new ones that have taken over have not let me down !! Great job guys, keep up the good work. This is the best place overall in Bakersfield to stay in. You won't be disappointed read more

My wife and I stayed here for 4 months on a work contract at a local hospital as a travel nurse. We were staying at another park called A Country RV Park who made us fell like we needed them not them needing us (the customer), which I don't do business with people like that. Shady Haven in the past was a rough, rundown heap of an RV park before new owners Paul and Leha took it over and literally turned it into a gem of a place to stay, especially if you're a traveling contract worker, which they give a discount if you are. Shady Haven is nestled in East Bakersfield's industrial section which is a little iffy but when you're in the park you simply have 0 concern. The park is tall-gated with badge entry, clean newly remodeled laundry, club house, bathrooms,workout room. Their rules are actually enforced, great dog runs, clean pool and hot tub, super friendly staff and live on-site owners. Decent cable and WiFi as well. We stayed in their cabana section that has shade fabric coverings over the top of your rig which dramatically helped with the Bakersfield heat. For a moderate RV park this place has it all. Also when you're in this RV park don't be afraid to show your American patriotism, it's totally welcome here even though it's still in commifornia. read more

Would definitely NOT recommend this place! Made a reservation, within 30 minutes had to cancel the reservation, they charged us for canceling?? Never once did they say they had a cancellation fee! The manager Brad was rude and said he couldn't refund us, when we told him we would dispute the charge with our credit card company, he told us we should do that if we didnt want to pay the fee? Who the hell says that? Oh Shady Haven!! read more

We have been traveling for work for many years and this is by far, our favorite RV Park we have stayed at. Very clean & safe with awesome amenities and owners. It was not easy to leave for the next job but we hope to make it back there some day!! read more

Let me first say, when you meet this owner operator couple, he is a hard working guy that cares about his customers and the way his buissness looks, she is always an upbeat personality, and dresses to the nines, which is nice to see these days. The park is very organized, clean, and very well taken care of. Easy access from the 58 , should you get a chance to stay here you won't be disappointed, mind you that they are next to train tracks( accross the street) if that train horn blows, you can bet Paul the owner will be over there telling that guy to shut that off, no matter what time it is, Its a quiet zone through that area.. Anyway thank you from M&D from Idaho. read more

This was a immaculate rv park. Owners are super pleasant and take care of this place beautifully.

It has gone through major remodeling! It has the best Security I have seen so far in a Mobile Home park! The Staff are Extremely Nice and helpful! read more

This park is a disgrace, the trains run all day and night, the people who run it aren't honest, they charged me 35 dollars just to leave, we stayed for a month and they were going to try and charge us for another month because they said we didn't give them a 30 day notice but we told them when we moved in we were only staying for a month, it's all about the money here , beware. read more

This was the first time here. The clerk was very polite, confirmed that our stay was paid and escorted us to our site. OMG What a beautiful park! Flat, level concrete pristine site. Sparkling pool, restrooms and laundry. Yes we will return! Thanks Passport America for letting us test drive a great park! read more

This is really a nice park. The owners are incredibly hospitable and have created a nice, safe atmosphere. It's very pet friendly. The facilities offered at the park such as the restrooms, showers, pool, and laundry are very well maintained. Plus, did I mention is a totally smoke-free property? The best part is that when I enter the park, I feel safe and confident that we are well protected. read more

Shady Haven is a place that truly embodies "home is where you park it". From day one at Shady Haven I felt welcomed and apart of the family. As a traveling nurse staying at an RV park for 16 weeks safety and comfort were my number one priorities, both expectations were far exceeded at Shady Haven. I can't say enough great things about this park! read more

The staff was very rude. We arrived after hours and called the number on the door. When the staff came outside, she was yelling and said she was calling the sheriff. I clarified I was trying to pay to rent a spot for the night and she in still a rude tone said they don't accept arrivals after 6 and that the cops were on their way. It was completely unnecessary, unprofessional behavior. You could just say "Sorry, we can't accept after hours arrivals". read more

We came to this park for my husbands work we thought we were only going to be a couple weeks. We ended up here for three months and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this RV Park. The new owners are doing so much everyday to make it even better. The park is smaller than most we've been at but we loved it that way. The people in the park were fabulous to get to know. The owners managers and park workers were over the top friendly. The spaces were a lovely size. The park was quiet minus a train here and there each day going by. We always felt safe with the gates at the entrances and all of the cameras all over. We even revisited the park for a night and stayed in the short term section it was very nice. Thank you Shady Haven for making our stay so nice. read more

What can I say about this place, the new owners have made it clean and safe. I loved the pool and spa for lazy days out of the RV. They do short and long term rentals and just put up shade units. It's a great place to park your wheels on the way to Arizona or Vegas read more

Lots of negative reviews. It is a great place to stop on your way thru Bakersfield. Had no problems. Very clean. Even the monthly sites seem to be well kept. Only suggestion would be to update dog area and put a door on the park. Also get the dog run fixed. I will stop again. Now called shady haven. Oh I wish but great place to stop. New owners very nice This place gets nicer every time I stop. Now they are putting awnings up over campsite to provide hopefully cooler temperatures in the summer read more

Under new owners and this has to be one of the best run parks we've lived in. My husband and I are full time RV'ers in our 30s and we always have a hard time finding a safe, clean, uncluttered, and affordable place with nice neighbors. This RV place has all of it! Clean amenities and perfect, hospitable customer service. We've been here for a month can't wait to stay here again each year! The only negative is the train is right beside the park and you can hear it occasionally every day. It doesn't bother us though. If that's the worst thing in this park, we're still happy! read more
