Nice place to chill under the sun or in the shade its a getaway for peace and comfort clean park!

We enjoy walking the track in the mornings and evenings as well. The distance markers are great way to gage your walk/ run. Its just a hair under a mile around the loop. Very picturesque with the ducks around the pond as well. There are an abundance of RV sites with electrical hook ups and shower facilities as well. Great place to spend the day with friends and family too for BBQ. Horse shoe pits and reserveable party areas round out the parks offerings.

Its a relatively cool park as far as open space goes (drone flying is recommended here). Theres a clean pond with fish and ducks, great for ambiance, aesthetics, picnics you know the deal.

They have signs everywhere saying that tent campers must camp in designated areas, and if theres anything they communicate well, its that you dare not camp in an RV spot with tents!!! So when you go to the tent camping area, the ENTIRE tent area is closed down. Registrations on the posts indicate several folks have been there for a very long time, with no intention of leaving.Meanwhile, unattractive, unaccommodating, unhelpful (no one there to administer/ help: its all done via envelopes and drop-offs).Itll be a hotel tonight: disappointed in Lompoc.

It’s really chill and pretty empty most of the time so it’s great for just taking a break and enjoying nature. the one downside is none of the lots have shade so when you get back in your car it’s an oven

I love this place because its a lot quieter and shady than most places. Espesially when the flowered are in bloom. Beautiful💜💕👌

Stopped through on a cycling trip, no hike and bike site- no tent camping space at all. Looks fine for RVs

Went to check out RV spots. The park itself is huge but the RV spots are not that attractive except for a few.To many with permanent people and old junk RVs and their belongings. 3 stars for park & 1 or 2 for RV sites.

Apparently, it their policy to put a family of 5 out of their spot because someone in the family changes jobs...California is in a housing shortage and a pandemic. This is not how a paying patron should be treated. We have done nothing wrong and we attempted to pay a week early. The reason given was because my husband no longer works at the same company he did when we moved into the long term spot, our contract is null.Update, it would appear that the the ranger wanted our spot! She promptly moved in after targeting us...

Love a place you can just get away to and enjoy joy the calmness

Lompocs third Annual Snow Day!

We was in River park. But was full so we could not camping. 🌞

The La purisma mission kool little place to enjoy

Super awesome...the playground is ok and the duck pond is cool!

I live in my RV. River Park is my favorite landing spot so far. Besides Jalama beach also.

Walking BBQing Ducks! A fun ride in and out, make sure you follow speed limits. Walking paths need a little attention. Lush oaks, pines.

A hidden Lompoc gem great for events and down by the water, peace and tranquility

Love the park. Alot of the people I dont.

This is a homeless encampment called a campground. I drove from Pismo Beach thinking I could stay here over the weekend and then head back to Pismo on Sunday. I cant believe this is operated by the City of Lompoc, what a dump. I felt unsafe even just driving through let alone staying the weekend. The sign clearly states there is a 21-day maximum stay, clearly, that isnt enforced because it literally looks like some of those trashy RVs have been there for years. Dont waste your time. I would have taken pictures but didnt stay.Anyone giving this place more than One Star isnt credible.I plan on writing a letter to the City describing my experience.

I really enjoy the multi-purpose trail. Dogs welcome!

Campgrounds includes a hike and bike area currently under renovation. Has code equipped lcoks on communal his/ her bathrooms with showers that are coin operated. So bring quarters! Bathrooms really need better and more consistent cleaning throughout the times open to camp visitors. There is ony opinion a serious lack of consistency in regards to rules, regulations, and enforcement of rules that are involved with staying at this park. Campgrounds have R.V. sites with hook-ups but minimal. Camphost who resides there is pleasant but difficult to find as well as other staff. Rangers seem to pick and choose when they and who they enforce anything their paid to enforce. Some are helpful and accommodating. Theres a dumping site for non visiting R.V.s. Plenty of parking, bathrooms are wheel chair accessible. Playground and public and BBQ along with small lake style fishing pond beyond R.V. site area. Plenty of parking there and restrooms and playground and grassy areas. Landscaping is fairly kept up. Ducks and Geese reside near by lake. Gates to that area are open from dial until dawn. All in all park isnt the greatest but offers campers and visitors a place to come and at least get out of town who are locals and offer visitors. FYI, make sure you communicate with camp staff on all guidelines and space availabiltíes. I recommend calling or visiting their website for up to date events, rules and regulations

Very nice park

Love the nature

This is a fairly nice park to take a walk in. It has a walking trail located at the north end of the park. There are parking spots located in that area. If you walk in, please pay particular attention to the traffic in the camping area. Also, please be aware that there are rattle snakes in the area on occasion (cooler months mean less of a concern). There are public restrooms located here as well.

Riverpark is a lovely, quiet place, great for a 1-mile loop. This photo however is taken on the multi-purpose Trail which is not in River Park. It is on the far East side of town : Lompoc. It provides approximately 3 miles round trip from start to finish and back.

What a clean and peaceful Park! I totally enjoy the ducks 🦆

No tenting area

The park is nice and the RV accommodations are fair. Tent camping here is quite unfortunate. The class system is alive and well here. They will not let tent campers pay the RV fare to stay in a halfway decent site. As someone who enjoys camping but doesnt need an RV, River Park doesnt have much to offer.

River Park is a great place to stay with the family. Weather you are staying 3 days in the tent site or 21 or less days in the TV spots. I have noticed people who would like to live here avoiding the park ranger but let me tell you from lots of personal experience that the ranger wont break the rules for any one but they will work with you, if you simply ask your questions and present your concerns. Great location. Great weather. Love staying here. Neighbors are helpful and kind.

A rather nice park. I went there for my fiftieth class reunion. The pavilion we were in was neat and clean. There was a childrens playground right next to it. There was a good sized brick barbecue we put to good use. Even the port-a-potty wasnt bad. Seems like a good place for a picnic and a little family fun. I plan on going back the next time Im in the area.

Good 4 using the bathroom, lots of bushes to choose from

Found three baby birds found three baby birds took them into the animal shelter

It is a very nice park, and it seems like theres a lot of things to do. Theres a beautiful Lake on the premises and there are ducks and other Wildlife around the area. You know also do some camping and some hiking.

Its a good place to have a little camp out. Near the entrance is first come first serve camping spots. Deeper into the park is playgrounds and a pond thats fairly sized Id say about a good 50 by 30 feet. Theres benches with bbq pits and PLENTY of space out there for a picnic or whatever activity you want to spend the day on. Its a nice area.

Its small but well equipped. Got stock pond to fish in plenty of games areas TV parking and hookups bathroom wheel chair accessible. Stay on the beaten path though.

Take your little kids here. The pond is a fun feature. Feeding the ducks and fishing. Plenty of space and play structures.

Basic RV park... would recommend and visit againGOOD: paved parking spotsPicnic tables on concrete slabFire pit with grillOther park amenitiesQuietPriceClose to town & shoppingNear Vandenberg AFBNOT SO GOOD: some sites do not have very good grass... mud in rainUtilities are centralized between two sites so be careful with a trailer which site you occupy or you will not have door side access to your picnic table & fire pitBath house is wiped down but not scrubbedNo laundry

Nice huge park that should be utilized more often by locals! There is a childrens jungle gym, duck pond and creek. There is lots of room to play sports, picnic areas for bbq and plenty of parking. I gave it 3 stars because the city can improve its appearance by re paving and marking the parking slots.

A very nice public park with wide open spaces to walk and run ones dog. Lots of trees and fauna to be enjoyed. The pond is a nice spot to sit and enjoy ones day. The ducks add to the experience and the general scenery is quite pleasant.

Not to bad

Has full hookups and has the potential to be a nice park. It is city run and has too many permanent residents and has a bit of a sketchy feel. We have stayed here several times without incidence. It is simply a place to crash for the night. The price is right for $30 per night. First come first serve as they do not take reservations.

4 stars for the clean bathrooms

This park has been turned into theHomeless shelter or tent cityWas a nice place to go on weekends

Okay for camping! Okay for a park! Okay for walking!

They have a nice walking trail, and the kids like to run free.

Its like the HOBOS backyard.... Ladys bathroom is looking haggard, almost made me want to go buy cleaners and clean it myself. I strongly suggest bring cleaners of your own to use bathroom and shower stall that looks like a prison shower from what Ive seen on T.V.

Nice park, small lake, lots of parking

River Park is the perfect place to take young children. There is a large pond that has its own fishing tournament every year! Ive seen large catfish and trout caught. Of course the pond comes with its own gaggle of geese and ducks! But watch out for the geese! Those birds had my son and I stuck on top of a picnic table screaming for help when we ran out of bread to feed them!! The park also offers r.v. and some tent camping, horseshoe pits, an exercise walking path, a toddler playground and a bigger kid playground, and all sorts of picnic tables with BBQ pits beside them so you can make dinner at the park. And if you forget anything a Circle K store is just a 10 minute walk to town! It a day of family fun!

Riverpark can be a beautiful place to Camp especially when the flower fields are in bloom. The park has a couple things I like they have a small Lake where you can fish and the riverbed itself where you can walk. The only issue I have is that its located on the outskirts of town and there really isnt a safe way to walk into town because you must cross a bridge that is not pedestrian-friendly. Otherwise its a great place for the day or a couple days they have both the camp site where you can pitch a tent and they have places for RVs with full hookups.

Only 5 parking spots for compact cars. does not look safe. Approximately 20 trailers/ camping spots, some double. Would not recommend for families.

I am still here and looking like I will make it home for awhile

River Park is a nice place to relax and enjoy the nature of the outdoors.... Its quiet and peaceful. The weather has been surprisingly beautiful . Unlike my memories of Lompoc being cold and windy most always...

A peaceful place. Even better when the river flows

Nice place, the pond is particularly nice touch just be sure to have the proper license. The grounds appear to cleaned up every day buy the looks of it, Top quality.

Sand volleyball courts, a popular walking/jogging trail, and large areas of grassy open space areas.

Great city park. Its bordered by its 1 mile loop track. Great for a walk. Covered reservation​ controlled gazebos with table with benches. Water fountain in pond. Clean bathrooms.

A decent Park with more gopher holes than caddy shack. The ducks are okay but the whole Park can be a little creepy. But got some swings that i hope wont break

Nice place to take a quick spin. Only wish the trail was longer! Homeless makes it a little sketchy!

Nice camp host pretty clean grapefruit baseball softball soccer Etc. Plenty of parking

Tent area was clean, quiet, and $15 for the night. Porta-potty was recently serviced, and convenient to the campsites.

Only spot to camp with a tent.... 15 dollars will get you a full 24 hours... I was thankful to have it when I needed it... Watch out for ants and wetness though....

Heads up for CYCLISTS: the campground has closed their tent camping until February due to maintenance. Theyre having a transient problem. We arrived Christmas Eve, planning on staying 2 nights, to find a sign posted that tent camping was no longer available, which they did not state on their website. Its been unavailable since October. After calling the host, who called the ranger, we begged if there was any way we could stay just 1 night since it was Xmas eve. After the ranger calling his supervisor, they finally agreed to let us pay the RV Price ($30) and stay just the 1 night at a RV site. We had to get a motel the second night since we wanted to take Xmas off. They were kind to let us stay the first night, but it took a lot of convincing and theyre very strict that no tents are allowed. Bummer for cyclists.

Nice park. Has potential. Way too many junkies and transients. Lots of shady permanent residents living there too. Would not recommend staying here.

They make everybody leave at dusk but the park ranger so we can park outside the gate and still fish hes really nice

Its a great place for the family . To go camping in the summer, the park has a nice pond as well. Its a good place to have BBQS AND OTHER THINGS

Its just ok, electrical can be sketchy with dirty power and the occasional surges. Use a line conditioner if you want to be as protected as you can. Its not what one could call a vacation location. Its more of a lets park here and go somewhere pretty for the day.

Nice park to take my dog

Large park. Im not a fan of the drive in with the speedbumps but once you are there theres a pond with a lot of ducks. There are several bench areas, a few covered. Occasionally there are special events like the Easter Egg hunt and visiting attractions like a Renaissance festival.

Cheapest rv park in the area. Nice big spaces with utilities, well maintain and visit often by the rangers. Could not visit the rest of the park, it was closed for the homeless.

Right next to the river and kids will have a blast on the playground with swings and plenty of room to run

As always a good place to walk and clear my head, talk to God and my Girlfriend and recharge my mercy and Grace.

Great get away place for everyone. They have a duck pond,you can even fish in it (must have valid gaming licence)camping.hiking,play grounds for children,parents,bbq areas horeshoes,volleyball,tracks to run or walk miles. Excellent

Sadly, this park has fallen into disgrace over the years.There is only weeds, dirt, & dying trees. The roads have huge lumps from umkempt tree roots. The pond is scummy & full of garbage. The Ranger never comes around, so people terrorize the ducks. The rvs that park here have broken down cars on the lots. There are random pits in the ground here-&-there, throughout the park. The restrooms are just atrocious & rarely have tp, let alone soap.As much as I hate to say it, this should be sold & made into a nice gated community or something. Atleast that would bring tax revenue, since this town is broken. Nice houses also wouldnt be an eye sore.

Nice little park with full hook ups at reasonable prices.

Very beautiful place. I love to camp here and bring my cousins to the park

Still same issues with RV spots, they actually HOLD spots for contractor employees from VAFB. Official policy is NO RESERVATIONS. It has always been the rule since the park opened.Rangers and camp host are very, well, discriminating with anyone that is not in a new $250,000+ rig. I have had owners of those new rigs tell me how they act toward regular folks.A few years ago had a pair of, since fired, rangers flat out say the rig i had just returned with after buying from an RV dealer in Colton, CA, of not being the owner, no registration in my name and flat said we stole it. They even denied the validity of that temp registration paper the dealer puts in the front window. I simply said to kick me out, write a ticket and tow it away....and while they would be busy dealing with that Id be happy to ask LPD yo come and assist them. I mean do they hire based on what? The applicate found the parking lot that day? Plus they gave these steller examples of Santa Barbara County Parks dept law enforcement. Sigh, it was funny.Rangers are much improved but keep an eye on them and the camp host. Honest but not the deepest thinkers who carry a gun.

The scenery was beautiful with a scenic pond and fields of flowers, the Vintners Festival was busy, and the ducks and geese didnt seem to mind our intrusion.

Nice, clean and comfortable campground for the entire family. Easy to locate on any map app (GPS), close to main shopping district (food, gas and lodging)and plenty of family activities to keep everyone happy.

Great park for walking and the the ducks are awesome. The kids love the toys also

The park itself is getting better from days past. The play structure is a new improvement for the kids and this place has always been good for large gatherings for events or birthday parties. The lake there is cool to fish in and feed the ducks that are there. Only thing is there hardley is any fish and when they do finally get around to stocking the lake nobody practices catch and release for fun. I saw a guy haul at least 20 big fish anywhere from 5 to 7 lbs. At that rate the lake is dry of fish within a couple weeks. Catch and release people, please the kids want to have fun. The trout have too many bones in them anyways. Other than that its a nice trip with the family when not windy if its howling wind out forget it this place gets terrible blockage from the wind and it will ruin the day in a hurry.

Its a great park to go. U can camp in a tent for 15.oo a night. Or ur motor home. They have a pretty big park with a pond. U can fish their. Its great for kids have a playground

Is a nice place to camp with the family..or for adults you can camp 21 days!then you have to go for 7 days an comeback yeah..is nice...nice people u meet here

Its a fun place to visit with the kids and family for Sunday barbecue or picnic Park love the paintball field

I go here daily to walk my puppy I do see other puppy walkers and talk , a very quiet and peaceful place to think.better on weekdays less people to worry about as far as Covid 19 goes.

Calm quiet, Ranger is consistently helpful and super friendly. Flower fields and rainbows here

Amazing place and in the beginning of summer it has a flower festival you should go to it amazing it fun it a fun time for family

Great place to walk, exercise, meditate, get your head right with God!

Lived there in an R.V for months. Great out door camping for first time campers . Great fishin pond.

Love the duck pond area which is also near the kids playground for my grandkids.

Big park. I vended there at the Lompoc Renaissance Faire. Safe and secure.

A beautiful park with a small lake and play place for kids. Plenty of room to stretch your legs or play a game of football. The park is huge....on the opening side of park there is camping available for tents as well as RVs and travel trailers. They have BBQs throughout park in case you cant bring your own. And they also rent out space for a party or get together. With a large BBQ pit. Dogs are welcome and almost everyone around there has one....lol. The only reason I gave the park a 4 star instead of a 5 star is because they have limited restrooms. Sometimes you have to walk a ways to get to the restroom. Anyways if you stop by the River Park make sure you bring some bread to feed those ducks....lol. And be prepared for a great time.

Nice and quiet. Clean slots and fair prices

Reasonable needs some work from parks and recreation but still a good park

Beautiful, peaceful place to visit, take the family, and have a picnic.

Lots of just empty space but there a nice little pond I take my daughter to feed the dogs

Wouldnt let us get a tent site due to new rules affective immediately . Wouldnt even take 30 bucks for an RV site. Not too convenient when you have biked 60 miles for the day and have nowhere else to go.

Inexpensive and very well kept up for being so small of a place

Not that bad of a spot for tent camping... Lots of spaces ..not to packed.. Laid back.. Nice place.. if yall complain u aint camping..

Rurual camping back up to dry river bed. Drive to playground or ride a bike. Looks like some long-term campers.

Great place to bring the kids to hunt for Easter eggs for Easter.
