What campers like

Walking trails with scenic views: Several RV parks offer onsite pathways for daily exercise. "Beautiful walking trail around the park. The views are so beautiful we will definitely come back!" says Susan R. about Jackson Rancheria RV Park.

What you should know

Limited cell coverage in mountain areas: Signal strength varies widely. "There is no cell service and the 'pay WIFI' did not work for us...but there is complimentary WiFi at the laundry to check in on things that works just fine," notes Erin A. about Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes.

Laundry facilities available but limited: Not all parks offer laundry services. "They have full laundry facilities which is great for the long haul RV families!" reports one camper about 49er Village RV Resort.

Sewer connections often elevated: Some RV parks require equipment adjustments. "The hookups worked good but the sewer hookup is elevated so you will probably want sewer hose supports to lift your hose," advises Courtney C. about Monument RV Park.

Tips for camping with families

Petting zoo access: Children enjoy animal interactions at select locations. "With a pool, petting zoo, a corral where they have a fire and s'mores followed by a movie, this is a great place to camp with the kids," describes Jeanette D. about Yosemite Pines RV Resort.

Swimming options for hot days: Pools provide relief during summer heat. "We spent most of the time in the pool, it was a hot weekend," mentions Dustin C. from 49er Village RV Resort, who visited "for the last weekend of the summer before the kids went back to school."

Alternative accommodations: Many parks offer cabins and yurts for families without RVs. "We stayed in a Yurt and it was absolutely amazing. The price for the yurt was like $100 a night and when we split that up, it was nothing!" shares Emily Grace M. about Yosemite Pines RV Resort.

Tips from RVers

Hookup capacity considerations: Ensure your RV matches available electrical service. "There are only a handful of 50amp spots and people move to them quickly after someone leaves. Lots of 30amp though so you might want to bring an adapter," advises William V. about Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes.

Seasonal pricing fluctuations: Watch for promotional rates during shoulder seasons. "We called a day ahead to see if there was room and on a weekday in early May, there was plenty of availability. We even received a Spring Flash Sale (40% off) rate," shares Lee D. about 49er Village RV Resort.

Site selection strategies: Some RV parks offer specific site recommendations. "We were advised on our arrival that the site I picked was in full sun, and we were moved to 'Shady Lane', site 18," reports Dustin C. about his experience at 49er Village RV Resort.
