17 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV campgrounds near Friant provide full hookup options for motorhomes and travel trailers, with options ranging from year-round resorts to parks suited for weekend stays. Yosemite RV Resort in Coarsegold features big-rig friendly sites with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections, operating year-round. Blackstone North RV Park in Fresno offers similar amenities with pull-through sites for larger rigs. Riverbend RV Park in Sanger maintains 55 RV sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp service options, plus water and sewer hookups. The gravel sites at many parks require attention to leveling, particularly for longer fifth wheels. "We booked a pull through deluxe full hookup site. Site is small little to no space for vehicle at the site we are at some sites have a lot more room than ours."
Navigation to several parks requires careful planning, especially for those with larger motorhomes. The mountain roads leading to Bass Lake RV resorts involve winding routes with occasional sharp turns. Most parks in the region provide sanitary dump stations, though some charge additional fees for this service. Cellular reception varies significantly by location, with stronger signals at lower elevation parks near Fresno and diminished coverage in mountain settings. Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard restrictions, and many parks include designated pet areas. During summer months, reservations become essential as RV campsites near Friant fill quickly with visitors heading to nearby Yosemite National Park. A camper noted that "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."

GuideBeautiful spot on the side of Bass Lake. Goat Mtn trail can be accessed right from the campground. Friendly camp host. There are definitely bears, raccoons and lots of ticks - we saw all of them. We expect that when camping in the woods but some might not. Food can’t be left out at all.
GuideThe campground is very accessible and therefore can feel busy at times (visited in October). It has flushable toilets and the general store is less than 10 min away by car. The campsites are rather close to each other, so don’t expect a lot of privacy. Our site (88C) was right in front of the restrooms, which have floodlights on all night and would not recommend. Overall, it’s a pretty good campground!
ScoutIt's nice enough and it's free..
ScoutQuiet and clean campground that’s well cared for. Restrooms and showers are very clean and kind staff on the property.
TravelerThe campground is going to be starting to do their cleanup of the over growth to make campsites better. But it is a gorgeous place to camp. Veterans free, seniors get discounts and regular camping is very reasonable. Fishing in the river. Day use side and campground side. Camp host is awesome. I've been several times and we love it. Great telephone reception, potable water spigots and restrooms (either portable outhouse or regular flush bathroom). 👍
GuideLoads of space! Not many people here in October. Park lot had two trailers and the trail to the right is wide open with numerous pullouts. Lots of great trails around for the dogs.
GuideWe loved our visit here so much we extended an extra week. The community welcomed us with open arms to participate in all their daily activities. Chris was especially helpful when we needed to arrive e early due to an issue at the park we were at. The site she gave us was very nice with papers for a patio and beautiful landscaping. We were able to watch the birds(many varieties) landing on our gutters for water from our couch. The only two things that were a little less than perfect was the road noise from 41 behind us and the water had some brown in it that filled our filter so have a spare on hand. There is a business nearby that allows you to ship items to for pickup. Trip into Yosemite via Oakhurst was about an hour (due to winding roads).
GuideThis is actually a really nice free dispersed camping site. Once you get to the Goat Meadows sign if you go left you will find a large parking lot with bathrooms. There were probably ten rigs or so jst camping up on the parking lot. If you go right down the hill you will find multiple dispersed camping sites. They are a little obscure, but some have nice fire rings that let you know it’s a site. They are very well spaced so even when you have neighbors you will hardly see or hear them. At the top of the hill where you go left or right was a camp host looking site but not sure if it is actually, but there was a camper there with a bumper pull trailer who uses a very loud shop type cheap generator that you can literally hear all over the area. Luckily, he turned it off about 10pm but started it up around 8am. If it weren’t for him probably would have given this site five stars. Also, T-Mobile and ATT both had zero cell service our phones were both on SOS but that really wasn’t a problem for us.
TravelerBeautiful. Would definitely come back.
