New from Tehachapi

[New from Tehachapi]

Just joined this forum. Been a RV owner for many years and currently own a 2006 Montana 3475RL. I tow with a 2009 Chev., 3500 diesel. Bought both units new and I am very happy with them (my team). We (my wife and I) travel with two pugs, Dora and Diego. We are the happiest when on the road.

Hello and welcome from the east coast.

Welcome to the forum. I love saying Tehachapi, the big hill with all the wind turbines, beautiful terrain and nice peolple, welcome again.:wlcm:

One nice thing about Tehachapi (there are many) is that once you make the climb to get there, it's all "downhill" no matter which way you're headed LOL

The climb from Lancaster and Rosamond, when the wind is blowing sure is "fun" LOL It's easy to understand why they put all the wind turbines where they did. Of course, I've always wondered why so many people have 30' or bigger boats sitting on cradles in their back yards in the desert..... Hmmmm :confused:

There is a small county campground park just south of the airport, I can't remember the name of, but you turn left about 1 mile south of the airport. I make the mistake of taking my trailer up the hill one night. my bad. Does anyone know the name of that campground?

[JRTJH]

You may be thinking of Mountain Valley RV Park. It's almost in the field south of the runway?

[camper 2010]

The Mountain Valley RV Park is where we ended up staying. Camping was nest to the runway. The county or city campground is about two miles from there. You would need to turn left out of the campground, go about 2 miles and turn left, going up a steep narrow road with no place to turn around.

You may be thinking of the Tehachapi Mountain Park. Kern County maintains that one. I have never been there, but it is about where you describe from Mountain Valley Campground. It is up there in the mountains and I wouldn't want to be pulling an RV up those roads at night without knowing where I was headed :eek:

When we were assigned to Edwards AFB, we would go to Mountain Valley Airport (there was no formal campground back then) and camp alongside the runway. Every weekend, gliders were towed aloft with powered airplanes and sometimes there would be 20 or more gliders circling overhead most of the day. We'd camp in the brush and watch gliders all weekend. My oh my those were simpler times for sure LOL

Yes, that is the park, Tehachapi Mountain Park, They have a sign that says camping at where you turn to go up the hill. This is not where you can take a TT, 5W, or large MH.
