About Bakersfield Farm Animals & Pond
LOCATION INFO Enjoy a rustic, no-fuss stay on our 20-acre working farm just 15 miles south of Bakersfield, with easy freeway access. Campsites sit along the pond - perfect for catch-and-release fishing, paddle boarding, or kayaking. We have a small area with farm animals (pigs, goats, sheep, peacocks and chickens) for you to enjoy. Expect a desert climate: hot summers, cold winters. Each site includes a small table, potable water spigot, picnic table, and fire pit (bring your own wood). All sites are BYO tent or car-camping with the exception of our one Glamping Site which includes a queen bed. Some have vehicle height limits (noted in site names), and cannot accommodate pop-ups or truck campers. Amenities include one shared indoor toilet and an outdoor hot/cold shower. There are 2 kayaks and 2 paddleboards that are free to use amongst all guests. We offer self check-in and you're welcome to arrive anytime after 1PM; checkout is 11AM. Please respect quiet hours after 10PM if arriving late. CAMP RULES No Pets – Our dogs roam freely and protect the farm and see other animals as threats. You will be asked to leave with no refund if you bring a pet. Quiet Hours: 10 PM–7 AM. If we receive complaints about noise, you’ll be asked to leave immediately. 1 Tent + 1 Car are permitted per Site, with the exception of Site 4 which allows 2 tents/2 cars. If you are a large group with multiple tents and families, you will need to book multiple sites. Each site has a maximum capacity, so if you put in 12 people, it will not show you all the sites available - put in 4 people and then you can pick which combination of sites you would like for your group. No tents or canopies on the grass/lawn area. No fireworks or open flames outside of designated fire pits. Propane burners or grills are permitted. Do not feed the farm dogs - no treats or food, ever. At checkout: dispose of trash in the dumpster by Site 5, soak any hot coals, wipe down tables, and put back the kayaks and paddleboards. Shower use: Only farm-provided shampoo and soap are allowed. Do not move firepits. Commercial use of any photography or video content captured on the farm -including for business, promotional, or influencer purposes - is strictly prohibited without prior written consent.

Our trip was amazing!! We had so much fun catching lots of fish in the pond, perfect for beginner fishermen. The campsites are close together, but no one else was camping there so we had lots of time to ourselves. The land is beautiful and the dogs are extremely friendly, we especially felt safe because of them. The pond activities are great for keeping cool in the hot sun, and the bathroom and shower is nice and clean. There are lots of flies so bring bug spray if this will bother you. The shaded campsites helped us stay cool in the 90°+ weather, and the sprinklers on the grass were fun to ru…
Great little spot just south of town. Host was excellent, communication was prompt. Would stay again
A little lighting to see the site pull in more clearly after dark or at the least a heads up about how dark it would be. Not having a dog jumping all up on my car while trying to turn around scratching my car. I could not stay as I could not see to pull into the site safely.
Easy to get to. Big trees with nice shade. Great pond. Friendly dogs.
This place is an oasis in the outskirts of Bakersfield. Simply a beautiful and spacious property with a pond, farm animals and a welcoming party of the friendliest dogs ever.
