    Deer creek campground

    Everything in one

    This was by far my favorite camping! Besides the lake being a one minute walk from your site they also had super clean restrooms with running water. The view of the lake is amazing! The drive up was nice too. The fishing was amazing!! Everyone with a license caught fish! There’s convenience stores nearby in case you forgot or need anything so that’s always a plus.

    Lindy's Landing and Campground

    Nice campground

    We had booked a pull thru site and they asked to change our spot because they were having a party that day in that area. I was okay with it until we got there and tried to pull into the spot. We have a 35 foot 5th wheel and they put us on the far end where it was hard to turn. It took a lot of turning and backing up to get into this spot. The spot had a huge concrete barrier so people wouldn't drive up on the sand area. If that wasn't there it would have been easier to get into the spot bit we couldn't go forward anymore. There was also a chain link fence in the way. We camped with others that had smaller 25 foot travel trailers and they got into their spots okay. If you have a big trailer, don't get these spots at the end (L-28). The lady that said we would fit no problem obviously has never tried to park a big trailer there. Bring your own fire pit too. They don't have any.

    Fresno Dome Campground

    Stones throw from Yosemite without the year wait!

    Hidden in the most often overlooked sierranational forest, this campground is a gem! There’s a beautiful creek that was full in August, which flows alongside the grounds. The water creates a great sound dampening - perfect for midnight snore charades around the campfire. Lots of drivable trailheads including jackass lake, Fresno dome, Yosemite, mammoth, and ansel Adams wilderness

    Camp Edison

    Room to Roam

    We have been coming to Camp Edison annually for the past 15 years and have never been disappointed. Each site has plenty of room and includes a picnic table and fire pit. It’s a short walk to Shaver Lake from virtually any of the sites, and several have a nice view of the lake. Fishing, boating, swimming or just picnicking on one of the many beaches surrounding the lake is a great way to spend your time. Some sites have full hook ups, but most have just electricity and cable TV, with water faucets nearby to fill your RV or use as needed if dry camping. There is a dump station on site and also a “honey wagon” that will come to your site and pump out your waste water, if you desire. Restrooms are clean and plentiful and each has a shower (25 cents for 2 minutes). The laundromat has come in handy several times, too. Camp Edison has great activities during the summer season including guided educational nature walks, both day and evening, as well as kids’ movies in the amphitheater. There is also a museum on site that offers activities and fun events like an ice cream social.

    Central location for visiting Kings Canyon and Sequoia NP

    Probably could have secured a first-come-first-served site within Sequoia NP, but rather have the comfort knowing our site was waiting for us after a 6 hour drive up to Sequoia National Forrest. The campground hosts were busy when we arrived, but made their way over to our site to check us in after we were set up. After that, we saw the hosts make several trips around the campground each day, keeping an watchful eye on all campers. Clean restrooms! (pit toilets) Clean fire ring upon arrival Site Size - small, comfortably fit 3-person tent, but would not have been able to fit a second of the same size (maybe two 2-person backpacking tents would work) Density - not much privacy in the sites to the inside of each loop, the outer sites appeared to have more privacy. Great location for a day trip to Kings Canyon NP and then a second day trip to the northern sites of Sequoia NP.

    Sunset Campground — Kings Canyon National Park

    Sunset Campground in Kings Canyon Sequoia National Park

    Campground is overall very nice. The campsites come with bear boxes to store your food or other gear that might be odorous. Each site comes with a fire pit with attached grill top that swings off. Some site have electric some don't depending on what you want. We stayed at number 107 which was near the top of the hill and was about a 150 foot walk to the edge where you could see the sunset over the valley. I would recommend site 103 or 104 as they are the top of the hill with the best views. There are restrooms available which are actual toilets and urinal not pit toilets. However there are no shower facilities. The days are mild and the nights were cool. Being so close the giant trees was amazing and the views are spectacular. Definitely a place to visit.

    Soquel Campground

    Worth the Trip!

    The drive up can be difficult (especially at night) with dirt roads making tight turns; plus the signs get scarce after a certain point. The grounds are pretty well kept. The bathrooms could be a little cleaner. The firepit and grill were all par for the course. My only real complaint was that there were no bear food lockers for nighttime storage. There's signs warning people about bears at night, but you are advised to store food in cars. That kinda sucks since bears don't care at all about scratching your car to get to that food. That said, we never ran into any serious wildlife. BRING BUG SPRAY as the ladybugs and other insects are busy doing their thing, we're just visiting. The creek is gorgeous, and hey, there's some light fishing to be done in the creek as well!

    Lupine/Cedar Bluff Campground

    Quiet at this time of year

    I had the whole campground to myself. The only other people there were the hosts, and they were particularly nice. Bathrooms with flush toilets, and cold running water. I loved the peace and quiet. 2-3 bars LTE with Verizon, occasional weak 5G


Guide to Fresno

Glamping near Fresno, California offers proximity to Sierra Nevada recreational areas while maintaining a balance between outdoor adventure and comfort. The region sits at elevations ranging from 300 feet in the valley to over 7,000 feet in nearby mountain areas, creating diverse camping experiences across different seasons. Water levels at lakes near Fresno fluctuate seasonally, with some campgrounds reporting significantly lower water levels during summer months.

What to do

Swimming at natural pools: Dinkey Creek provides access to swimming holes about a mile from campgrounds where visitors can cool off during warm summer days. A camper noted, "We enjoyed swimming in the creek, hiking Bald Mtn, and walking around Shaver Lake. Glad I went but probably will not go again."

Fishing at multiple locations: Pine Flat Campground offers lakeside fishing opportunities with some sites providing direct lake access. According to one visitor, "Very relaxing. Rangers were very nice, it was clean and they have pretty good showers. We were very late to check-in but had no problems getting in. One of the boat launch ramps was right there in the camp ground."

Hiking nearby trails: Areas surrounding Camp Edison feature several walking trails with varying difficulty levels. A reviewer mentioned, "Nestled in the Sequoias, this beautiful lakeside campground hosts several amenities such as boating with rentals and launch ramps, full showers and well maintained bathrooms, large campsites, nearby horse back riding trails and hiking."

Boating and water sports: Multiple lakes surrounding Fresno allow for various water activities, with some campgrounds offering boat rentals and launch facilities. "Taking the boat out to explore the other side of the lake offers hidden falls and rock jumping, and private beach lounging," shared one Camp Edison visitor.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Hidden View Campground maintains well-kept grounds with good bathroom facilities. A camper reported, "Clean Campground and site. The site we stayed at had a nice fire ring, was flat, had a picnic table and it was close to running water. We tent camped, but it looked like there were plenty of RV spots too."

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Several campgrounds near Fresno provide chances to observe local wildlife. At COE Eastman Lake Codorniz Campground, a visitor noted, "Fall has a Tarantula migration and you will definitely see them. Coyote, Bobcat, and deer are frequently seen."

Stargazing conditions: Several campgrounds offer excellent night sky viewing due to limited light pollution. "Moon rock sits in a meadow and soaks up sun all day, making it a nice warm space to star gaze at night while listening to the horses in the stable nextdoor," shared one Camp Edison reviewer.

Peaceful environment: Many campers appreciate the quieter campgrounds away from crowded areas. "Use your national park pass for 50% off such a quiet place," mentioned one Hidden View Campground visitor.

What you should know

Site selection matters: Not all sites are created equal, and reserving specific areas can dramatically impact your experience. "Some sites have a great view of the lake. Going to take the road bike out today and explore some of the roads around the Lake," explained a reviewer at COE Eastman Lake Codorniz Campground.

Water levels fluctuate: Many lakes around Fresno experience significant water level changes throughout the year. "Even with all the rain, the lake isn't very full. The campground, including the bathroom, was clean," reported one Hidden View Campground visitor.

Off-season considerations: High Sierra RV Park and other facilities have different amenities available depending on the time of year. "Nice camp, clean toilets and restrooms. They rent a small spot and therefore there is little privacy between each RV," noted a summer visitor.

Insect activity: Certain times of year bring increased insect presence at some campgrounds. "The other thing I have to mention - the yellow jackets. The hosts said it was quite unusual so I tried not to let it color the overall review, but damn! You would be sitting down trying to read and a few would fly around your head or land on your hands," warned a Dinkey Creek camper.

Tips for camping with families

Consider proximity to bathrooms: When traveling with young children, sites near restrooms can make a significant difference. "We rented sites #10 & #11 for the weekend. Sites #9-11 make up the cul-de-sac so it was great for our kids to ride their bikes and scooters. It would make the perfect group site," suggested a visitor to COE Eastman Lake.

Look for built-in entertainment: Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort offers family-friendly amenities that keep children occupied. "Has a pool, game room very run down, bathrooms and showers decent, sites a bit to close together for our liking but being close to the lake and Yosemite was a bonus," reported one family.

Check for wildlife warnings: Various campgrounds post specific wildlife notices depending on the season. "We were warned that rattle snakes are out, but we were fortunate not to see any ourselves. There is also quite a bit of brush around the campsites so be aware if you bring dogs," cautioned a COE Eastman Lake camper.

Consider day-use areas: Some campgrounds have separate swimming areas that may be more suitable for families with children. "We drove to a beach area found about a mile up the road. There is also a day-use area across the lake with some good swimming sites," noted a COE Eastman Lake visitor.

Tips from RVers

Check site leveling beforehand: Many RVers report challenges with uneven sites. "Our spot was super spacious we were able to set up lawn games and play catch. Second time camping here our campsite was super spacious we were able to set up lawn games and play catch," shared a Camp Edison visitor.

Consider electrical needs: Dinkey Creek and other campgrounds have varying hookup availability. "1st time I camped here was the first week of October in 2016. It was a whole lot colder than I had thought, but luckily we just put some stones around our fire and wrapped it up in wool to keep at our feet."

Water access planning: Not all sites with lake views provide direct water access. "The sites I saw were all dirt, not sure if they have nicer sites or not. The site wasn't level but was manageable," reported a Camp Edison RVer.

Location verification: The distances listed for many glamping resorts near Fresno may reference park entrances rather than final destinations. "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," warned a Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort visitor.
