Is there a decent RV park between Bakersfield & Fresno?

I know there are nice places in both Bakersfield and Fresno, but we will need one on Sunday night between those two towns -- and all of the reviews on RVparkreviews.com are quite negative for any of the other options.

We don't care about scenery or amenities -- just a fairly quiet and safe place to park and sleep.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

    There's a casino in Lemoore but it's pretty far off 99. Probably not worth it. Lake Kaweah is nice as well but that's East of Visalia.

    But I agree with Old-Biscuit. 60-90 from Bakersfield to Visalia exit on 99. Another 45 minutes or so to Fresno. There's a KOA Visalia Sequoia National Park. Haven't stayed there but looked up a couple reviews on Trip Advisor that said it's OK. Probably pricey for just an overnight road stop.

    I would stay in the Visalia/Hanford area or go North of Fresno though.

    If you're traveling north you might want to go about 35 miles north of Fresno to Chowchilla's Pheasant Run RV park. One of the top rated in the country.

    As an avid boondocker you'll find something. I'd be eyeing a truck stop in Pixley.. or eq.

    Don't know which direction you are headed........but it's only 2 hr drive between Bakersfield and Fresno so why overnight between them ?
