LOMPOC, Calif. (KEYT) – The City of Lompoc is inviting folks out to the Lompoc Valley at the recently re-opened River Park RV campground.
The soft opening follows a nearly 3-year process.
In 2022, renovations began on 9 original RV sites at River Park, and 26 sites have been added since then, with newly renovated full hook-ups.
“If you visited us in the past, we would love to invite you to come back,” says Hannah Wallace, Lompoc Parks And Recreation manager. “We think that you would be really surprised and pleased with the upgrades that we’ve provided.”
Sites are first-come-first-served for up to 21 nights.
The online reservation system has also been revamped, allowing for easy payment and booking.“Pretty streamlined,” says Wallace. “And, it just it makes it easier for campers to register. It makes it easier for, rangers to monitor. And, it’s been embraced by some of the campers that were previously here before we opened up the new sites, just because of the ease they don’t know have to go into the the office to pay. They can just get online and pay or call and pay over the phone.”
The park features a playground, trails for walking, biking or horseback riding, as well as Kiwanis Lake which is open and stocked for fishing.
“Somebody had a vision and we bought into that and definitely supported that from the council level and made sure they stayed invested in it,” says Lompoc city councilman Jeremy Ball. “And again, it’s taken some time, but now we’re very excited that, it’s open.”
Base rates are 50 dollars a night.
“It’s the end of January and it’s 70 plus degrees here in Lompoc,” says Ball. “And I can imagine this place being a very exciting place to come.”
The park sits just east of Lompoc and is about 20 miles away from Solvang.
