Take a Day Trip to Pyramid Lake in Bakersfield

Beautiful Pyramid Lake, located along Interstate 5 in the Angeles and Los Padres National Forests, is a reservoir formed by Pyramid Dam on Piru Creek, near Castaic, California. And it’s only about an hour away from Orange Grove RV Park, so load the family in the car and head out for a day of swimming, fishing, and boating.
