Wishon Village RV Resort

5 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Reaching Wishon Village RV Resort requires commitment. The drive from Shaver Lake involves a sustained climb followed by roughly 40 minutes of winding road, something worth factoring in when towing a large rig. The resort sits at approximately 6,800 feet elevation and accepts RVs up to 60 feet, with all sites on gravel and equipped with full hookups including 50-amp service at select spots. Reservations are available, and nightly rates run $40 to $64.

Cell signal is essentially nonexistent here. The resort sells WiFi packages, reportedly around $15 for three days, which is the primary connectivity option on site. Partying and amplified music are prohibited, so the noise profile skews quiet by rule rather than by chance. Meat bees are a documented nuisance in summer, and wildlife including raccoons and squirrels patrol campsites regularly, making food storage a practical concern.

"Hiking, mountain bike riding, Jeep trails (Dusy-Ershim Trail), and fishing" are among the activities available from camp, notes Tom D., who has returned to Wishon Village across multiple decades. Wishon Reservoir is close by for trout fishing, and Courtright Reservoir sits at higher elevation with a later seasonal opening. The on-site store stocks general supplies and sells fishing licenses. For tent campers, two site types exist, platform and ground, neither with water or electrical hookups. Sawmill Flat Campground and Buck Meadow Campground are among the nearby alternatives for campers who prefer a more dispersed setting. Wishon Village works best for RV campers who want full hookups and structured amenities at Sierra Nevada elevation.

Unplug and Enjoy Nature

  We stayed at this campground may years ago (2006-2008) and it has remained one of our favorites.

  Our most recent stay was for a small rally of 8 class A RVs from 34' to 43' in length all with tow vehicles. Wishon was able to accommodate all of us. The drive to Wishon starts with a long climb to Shaver Lake.  Past Shaver Lake the road becomes windy for the remainder of the drive.  Expect at least a 40+ minute drive from the Shaver lake turn off. On the way you will pass a grove of Giant Sequoia trees with a pull out to walk or picnic among them.

  All sites are gravel and have full hook ups.  Some sites have 50 amp service but it will rarely be needed because of the elevation of 6800 feet. All sites will accommodate the RV, vehicle, boat, and more. Wishon also has tent sites with or without platforms. 

  There are many activities available from this campground. Hiking, mountain bike riding, Jeep trails (Dusy-Ershim Trail), and fishing.   Two reservoirs are nearby, Wishon and Courtright. Courtright at 8200' opens later than Wishon at 6600'. Rainbow and German Browns can be caught.

  Wishon Village has a nice store with most necessities and sells fishing licenses.

For the glamper

If you have an RV or prefer car camping/glamp set up this is a very nice spot. Lots of RV spots, but I chose to tent camp. Two types of tent sites, platform and ground neither of which has AC/Water. I had a platform site that was next to a little stream. There is a village store on site, showers, toilets, and water. Close to Wishon Reservoir which is great for trout fishing. Courtright is a little farther but wasn't accessible at the time I went due to fallen trees blocking the road. Attended a village church service on Sunday which was the topping on the cake for me. Lots of people around the campsites but partying is prohibited. That being said if you want a little more serene camping experience there is plenty of dispersed camping in this part of the woods.

Bigger spots

We have a 35 foot 5th wheel and the spots we like here are 37, 50-52, 38-41. We haven't stayed in any other sites so I'm not sure how they are for bigger trailers. We have been going to Wishon for years and it's our favorite spot. 20 min drive to Courtright. The road is a little windy to Wishon. It's about 40 min past Shaver Lake. There is no signal unless you buy the wifi internet pkg. I can't remember the price but around $15 for 3 days I think.

Shaver lake is awesome!

It's a pretty RV park. The hiking trails are great, scenery was amazing! There are fire rings and picnic tables. There is a great store that has everything you could want or need! Bathroom review, again: the cleanest! Flush toilets and coin operated showers! There are water spigots and an outdoor sink area for dishes, so helpful! Racoon and squirrels are always around looking for food, so I just use a bear can and store my food,here. It's just easier. RV sites and REALLY LARGE tent sites! Some of the biggest I've been to. The fishing was good, the only con is music is not permitted at all. Bring headphones. You will be asked to turn it off and possibly leave.
