CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Campgrounds near Goshen, California provide a mix of developed and primitive camping experiences throughout the San Joaquin Valley and surrounding foothills. Several established RV resorts and campgrounds operate in the region, including Visalia-Sequoia National Park KOA, Kings River RV Resort, and Lindy's Landing and Campground. These facilities generally accommodate both tent and RV camping, with some locations also offering cabin rentals or glamping options. Most campgrounds are situated within a 30-mile radius of Goshen, providing convenient access to nearby attractions like Sequoia National Park.

Road conditions and facilities vary significantly between campgrounds in the area. Many established campgrounds offer full hookups for RVs including water, electric, and sewer connections. The region experiences hot, dry summers and mild winters, making year-round camping possible at most locations. "The park is now RV only with no tent camping," noted one camper about Lindy's Landing, highlighting how campground policies can change over time. Travelers should confirm current amenities and restrictions before arrival, as several campgrounds have specific vehicle size limitations or seasonal policy changes. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the valley floor, but connectivity may decrease in foothill locations.

Campground experiences in the Goshen area frequently center around water access, with several sites located along the Kings River offering fishing, swimming, and boating opportunities. Campers seeking proximity to Sequoia National Park should be aware that despite names suggesting closeness, some campgrounds are a considerable drive from park entrances. A visitor to Visalia-Sequoia National Park KOA remarked, "A bit disappointing to find that it is quite a drive to get to the parks. The name is deceiving." Most developed campgrounds in the region provide basic amenities including drinking water, restrooms, and trash services. Site privacy varies considerably, with many RV-oriented campgrounds featuring closely spaced sites with minimal separation, while locations in Three Rivers tend to offer more natural surroundings and shade from oak trees and riparian vegetation.

    Sun and Fun RV Park

    Decent overnight stop

    Tulare isn’t a big draw. Clean place. Convenience store nearby. Trains are close at night.

    Forest Road 13S02 Dispersed Site

    Great spot

    Great camping spot- quiet and removed from nat’l park traffic. It’s a dirt service road about 30 minutes down Hume Drive. The dirt road goes on for miles, with many different turns, and there are plenty of campsites around the whole area. We saw a few other people there, but it’s a vast area so you’re sure to find a space to yourself. Be cautious as some of the roads are very rough the higher up the mountain you go.

    Dunlap canyon retreat

    Thanksgiving getaway

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We spent 9 days at this amazing property just 30 minutes from Sequoia Park, and it was the perfect Thanksgiving getaway. Spencer was an outstanding host—he even warmed up the yurt before we arrived and was always available if we needed help. My daughter had unforgettable experiences: planting vegetables and herbs, riding the 4-wheeler, climbing trees, using the jungle gym and trampoline, kayaking on the pond, and making her own fire. The whole area felt peaceful, safe, and full of nature and stars at night. We truly loved our stay and highly recommend Spencer and this beautiful place. We will definitely come back!

    Boondocking - Coalinga

    Quick overnight rest

    Great spot off the 5 for a quick over night rest with our motorhome and little Mazda. Lots of other truckers stopped for the night as well.

    Almond Tree Oasis RV Park

    Ok for a quick stop

    We stopped here for one night. Cute place, clean and well maintained but very tight spots. We got a large pull through and barely fit in with our 37’ class A. Only about 6ft to the next “yard”.

    Only 1 working shower and toilet.

    Dog park was basically a mud run… definitely not what I would call a dog run.

    Not far off the hwy and quiet. Gas station/convenience store beside it.

    Sunset Campground — Kings Canyon National Park

    I'll never go back

    First, there was no sign on the road pointing out the entrance so I drove right by it and had to come back.  I reserved my site 6 months in advance on recreation.gov and received my discount as my pass is on file.  I arrived on a Monday and it was a madhouse.  Every site had occupants and the sites were very close together.  There were a lot of kids which is nice to see however they were kids and wanted to run and play.  The problem is you couldn't go 5 steps without being in someone else's campsite.  I felt sorry for them.  There was no privacy at all.  The campground has standard amenities, no showers and the bathrooms were old but decently kept.  I took my trailer and had plenty of room for it and my car on the asphalt driveway.  The site itself was dirt.  Bear boxes are provided.  The store, restaurant and visitor center were just up the road, easily walkable from camp, and there were some nice trails to take from camp.  I was able to hike from camp to the Grant Grove.  By Wednesday the camp had cleared out so that was the best day and night.  Of course, it started all over again on Thursday!  It's about an hour and a half drive from camp to the General Sherman tree area.  One other note.  If you are reliant on solar power as I am, this is not a good campground as the trees are not only numerous but tall so reliable sun available all day while you're away is non existent.  I had to buy ice and put it in my fridge to keep my food cool.

Guide to Goshen

Campsites near Goshen, California provide access to both the San Joaquin Valley floor and the Sierra Nevada foothills. Located at approximately 285 feet elevation, Goshen experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures frequently exceeding 100°F and mild winters with occasional fog. Most camping options near Goshen require driving 30-45 minutes east toward Three Rivers and the foothills, where temperatures can be 5-10 degrees cooler than the valley floor.

What to do

River access for swimming: Kings River RV Resort provides a swimming area during summer months when water levels permit. One visitor noted, "Warm pool, riverfront and a gorgeous beach! Will be back with our family of five and two doggos! Stayed for spring break and weather was perfect."

Fruit picking: Rancho Notso offers a unique camping experience where visitors can pick seasonal fruit. According to Jake from The Dyrt, "Depending on the season you can pick your own fruit and enjoy wine from the same fields you're camping at!"

National park visits: Three Rivers Hideaway provides a convenient base for exploring Sequoia National Park. A camper reported, "10 minute drive to the entrance of Sequoia NP and that's exactly what we were looking for. The guy at the desk was very pleasant. Bathrooms and showers were clean and showers were not quarter operated like so many campgrounds in this area."

Fishing opportunities: Several campgrounds provide access to Kings River for fishing when water levels permit. During drought periods, water access may be limited, with one camper at Horse Creek Campground noting, "We had to drive 3 miles up where the river flows to cool down."

What campers like

Affordability: Some campgrounds provide economical options compared to others in the area. One visitor to Horse Creek Campground appreciated this aspect, saying "Security was excellent rangers were patrolling very often, drinking water was available on sites."

Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain their restrooms and shower facilities regularly. A visitor to Three Rivers Hideaway commented, "It has clean toilets, bathrooms, laundry and even rafting. The campsite is next to the Kaweah river and you are surrounded by trees."

Dog-friendly amenities: Sequoia RV Ranch provides dedicated spaces for pets. As one camper noted, "The campground is small but clean and the staff is helpful. There is a fenced dog park on-site, a nice touch."

Stargazing opportunities: The foothills provide better night sky viewing than valley locations. A camper at Horse Creek Campground shared, "The stargazing is beautiful. There is some limited light pollution emanating from the other side of the foothills, but because you are surrounded by foothills you get some good, dark surroundings to really appreciate the stars."

What you should know

Summer heat: Valley floor campgrounds experience intense heat June through September. A camper at Lemon Cove Village reported, "Pull through sites made setting up super easy. Place was quite and clean. Not much for extra activities on site, but they did have a clubhouse."
