Winter activities: During winter months, cabin accommodations provide shelter from snow while allowing access to seasonal recreation. "Stayed two nights here in a 2 bed tent cabin.

What campers like
Central location: Bass Lake cabin rentals provide strategic positioning between Yosemite and other regional attractions. "At approximately 3500 ft elevation. Cool summer nights near Bass Lake Recreational area so fishing and boating are a main attraction. Park is tight for big rigs, but can fit if careful," explains a visitor at Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort.
Swimming access: Many cabin-equipped campgrounds feature pool facilities when the lake is too cold. "We booked this last minute over the phone, we were very impressed with the spot, next to the pool, clubhouse, fire pit. I do see that other spots are more crowded but overall the property is gorgeous," notes a camper at Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort.
Restaurant proximity: Several cabin locations provide dining alternatives to camp cooking. "The park is about 30 mins from the entrance to Yosemite and if you don't want to do that... There's always Bass Lake...which is 2 miles down the hill!" shares a visitor at Outdoorsy Yosemite.
What you should know
Reservation timing: Cabin accommodations often require booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for summer months. "This place was great. It was my first time camping in a campground. My wife and I had so much fun and cannot wait to go again. Additionally, it was so easy to book online and we did it less than a week before our stay," explains a visitor at Outdoorsy Yosemite.
Space limitations: Many cabin sites feature limited space between units. "Sites are very crowded. You gotta love your neighbor. Lots of amenities. Very friendly staff. So helpful and accommodating. Good access to Yosemite. We prefer less neighbors but overall it was nice," notes a guest at High Sierra RV Park.
Noise considerations: Sound travels easily between cabin units, requiring adherence to quiet hours. "Nice camp, clean toilets and restrooms. They rent a small spot and therefore there is little privacy between each RV," reports a visitor at High Sierra RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly amenities: Look for cabin locations with play facilities for younger visitors. "Large clean pool with a shallow lounging section. Playground. Bathrooms/showers were freshly renovated and clean. Laundry on site. Clubhouse and small provisions," notes a visitor at Yosemite RV Resort.
Space for equipment: Family camping requires more space - confirm cabin size accommodates your group. "We didn't know that the '20 miles from Yosemite' just meant the entrance, we still had to drive about 30 miles to get into the valley. The site we pulled into was really tight with a hill and drop off on either side so our picnic table had to be in front of the airstream," warns a camper at Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort.
Off-peak advantages: Consider cabin camping during spring or fall for fewer crowds and lower rates. "We are in spot 116 a bit unlevel but we managed. Check in was quick and easy. Hook ups were easy. Kinda tight we are a Odessey 26D with a jeep gladiator. Verizon is three bars and WiFi works great," notes a visitor at Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort.
