Happy Tales Camping

An old Native American Village was once on this property. It is said that an agent supplied the allotment of meat and beans at which they had a B-B-Q and all the Natives died from poison beans except for one girl. Some said you can hear the cries of women and child at night.

Organic Farm Outside of Bakersfield

In 2013, I left a corporate career in search of something more meaningful. Yearning to connect consumers back to their farmers, I started a farm in my hometown of Bakersfield

Our farm experience offers a no-fuss stay on a real working farm approximately 15 miles south Bakersfield. 20 acres surround you, bounded by the Tehachapi Mountains and within the San Joaquin Valley. Sites are perched on the edge of the pond, stocked with fish. Each site offers a good amount of shade for a portion of the day and has its own picnic table, water spigot and fire pit. Campers provide firewood. 

There is one shared, plumbed bathroom between campsites and one shared outdoor shower (with hot water). There's no electricity at your rustic home away from home, but the evening stars light up the sky.

We have the following sites available:
Bring Your Own (BYO) Tent
Van Parking (No RVs, Trailers or Trucks with Campers)

We are an organic working farm - no pesticides or herbicides are sprayed on the farm or around the camp areas. Depending on the day you stay, we may have more activity than others. We have staff on and off the farm coming and going from the farmers markets we participate in. 

We have working dogs that love to keep predators away at night by barking if they sense any around. We have roosters that crow, lizards, bugs and insects, bull frogs in the pond, California King snakes, and lots of birds/hawks/owls. We do our best to create an environment for all the creatures to live and thrive in the environment that's natural to them.

Shared, covered outdoor pergola with seating and dining area

BYO Tent Site is shaded and includes bistro table & chairs, fire pit and water spigot

View of the pond from the dock during morning. 

Pond had pump circulation and was full of mosquito fish helpers to keep the water clean. 

One of the farm dogs joined us for a refreshing dip in the pond! 

Fire ring with grill (not shown here) provided at each site.  View of the patio area in front of the BYO tent site.
