Best time to visit Buena Vista Aquatic Recreational Area
Spring, from March through May, offers the most comfortable weather for RV travel with mild temperatures, green surroundings, and good fishing on both lakes. Fall, from mid-September through November, is another strong shoulder season once summer heat breaks and campgrounds thin out. Summer weekends are the busiest period because the lakes are the primary local escape for Bakersfield residents, so reserve early or aim for weekdays. Winter is mild but foggy, with occasional dense tule fog that can reduce highway visibility on approach.

Things to do at Buena Vista Aquatic Recreational Area
- Boating and waterskiing on Lake Webb EasyRV parking available
Lake Webb is the larger of the two lakes and is open to high-speed motorboats, waterskiing, wakeboarding, and personal watercraft. Multi-lane boat ramps and adjacent parking accommodate trucks with trailers.
- Fishing at Lake Evans EasyRV parking available
Lake Evans is the smaller lake, restricted to lower-speed boats and popular with anglers targeting bass, catfish, bluegill, and stocked trout in the cooler months. Shore fishing spots and a boat launch are accessible directly from paved campground roads.
- Swimming at the designated beaches EasyRV parking available
Both lakes have designated swim beaches with sandy access and shallow entries suited to families. Lifeguards are not always on duty, so supervise children closely and follow posted rules.
- Sailing and paddling on Lake Evans EasyRV parking available
Lake Evans is well suited to sailboats, kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards because motor restrictions keep the water calmer than Lake Webb. Rentals are not always available on site, so bring your own craft.
- Picnicking and day use at shaded ramadas EasyRV parking available
Numerous day-use areas around both lakes offer picnic tables, shade ramadas, barbecues, and grassy lawns. Large paved parking lots make these areas easy to reach with an RV or tow vehicle.
- Wildlife and bird watching EasyRV parking available
The lakes attract waterfowl, shorebirds, and raptors year round, with numbers peaking during winter migration on the Pacific Flyway. Bring binoculars and check quieter shoreline areas at dawn and dusk.
- Day trip to Bakersfield and the Kern River EasyRV parking available
The city of Bakersfield is about 30 minutes northeast and offers museums, restaurants, and easy access to the Kern River corridor. It makes a convenient resupply and sightseeing stop between camping days.

Ramon O. - Aug 2026
We used Matt’s RV for three nights outside of Sequoia National Park. Matt set it up before we arrived with mats laid out (a mat lined with twinkle lights) and AC on, communicating with us the entire day and trip for whatever we needed. He was extremely pleasant to interact with and we so enjoyed the cozy trailer! Felt new and clean (modern) and the bed was comfier than our own. Also - blackout blinds which was PERFECT for our little one taking naps throughout the day. The heat was brutal at our location and the AC was so helpful. Fresh towels and sheets were a plus as well. Very homey overall and felt so supported. We had a blast with our one year old exploring the campsite and national park and would rent from him again if the occasion were to arise!

How to get to Buena Vista Aquatic Recreational Area
The park lies about 25 miles southwest of Bakersfield via Interstate 5 and Highway 119, roughly a 30 to 40 minute drive, and about 15 miles east of Taft on Highway 119. From Los Angeles it is roughly a two-and-a-half to three hour drive north over the Tejon Pass on Interstate 5, a long sustained mountain grade where RV drivers should use lower gears and monitor engine and brake temperatures. Roads into the park are flat, paved valley routes with no tunnels or low-clearance restrictions, so most Class A, Class C, and travel trailer rigs can access sites without issue. The nearest commercial airport for fly-and-rent trips is Meadows Field Airport in Bakersfield, with Los Angeles International and Hollywood Burbank as larger alternatives about two to three hours south.
