BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Thursday for a re-invented RV community in East Bakersfield. You may be familiar with the newly re-vamped RV park - Shady Haven. It used to be called Bakersfield Palms. The RV Park and Mini Storage is now a safe wellness community for traveling professionals of all ages. The new owners have made it smoke-free, implemented bike and walking paths, a cooling spa and a firepit to read and relax. "We want it to be more of a rejuvenation atmosphere, as opposed to just staying the night, we want you to stay longer and linger at Shady Haven," said Lehea Desousa, co-owner of Shady Haven. Shady Haven is located at 250 Fairfax Road, near Edison Highway. https://www.kget.com/news/local-news/a-re-invented-rv-community-opened-in-east-bakersfield/1724781004

Shaded Haven RV Park is a gated Bakersfield property with pull-through sites and easy hookups; many visitors appreciate the secure key-card entry and convenient services. Several guests praised on-site staff—especially assistant manager Tashia—for being helpful and welcoming. Experiences with cleanliness and maintenance vary: some report clean grounds, a well-maintained pool and a new bathroom, while others describe dirty showers, laundry and pool odor. Billing and move-out charges are a common complaint, including surprise electrical fees and difficulty obtaining refunds. If you value staff responsiveness and secure entry, it may suit you, but inspect billing and on-site maintenance expectations before committing long-term.

Excellent, newly built section for overnight visitors with concrete pads, picnic tables, palm trees, excellent utilities. It has very courteous staff. There is a nice pool and spa and other amenities. The only problem is the close proximity to train tracks and the highway.
