  Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes

  Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes

  The Road (CA 120) from Oakdale to the campground is steep, narrow and has a lot of close quarter turns for a 40 foot motorhome pulling a 20 foot dual axle open car trailer with a Jeep on board. Occasionally the wheels of the trailer would cross into the center line on tight turns. Really didn't have any problems pulling the uphill grade with 400 hp. After you get to the top I do wish that they would mark the down hill grades when you come to them as there are a lot of ups and downs with curves once you are up on top. Definitely plan on using your engine brake. The weather was not hot when we made the trip but there are signs at the bottom of the mountain advising to turn off the air conditioning of your vehicle before making the ascent. Once there the RV park map that they gave us at check in showed us our site location but they did ot escort us. Some others did get an escort. The sewer pipe connection was recessed too far down in the concrete protective block/pad that I was not able screw my angled adapter into the provided threads. Ended up utilizing a large rock to retain the angled adapter into the poop chute. As others have said. Absolutely no cell signal from any carrier is available. Our neighboring camper advised that they were trying to use the park wi-fi but weren't getting very good reception. I let them use our starlink wi-fi as a common courtesy. Site 164 was level and a mix of sparse short grass and dirt. So guessing that when it rains, if it does we won't have to worry about the RV sinking into the grass as it is somewhat firm.

  USBR Gloryhole Rec Area Big Oak Campground

  Good spots, lousy neighbors

  Staying here April 17-20 and it’s quite a good spot. Reservations are required but usually aren’t hard to get. $22 per night with a $8 reservation fee. Potable water available and bathrooms with a couple of them having showers. Weather is great with the lowest only getting to 48 degrees at night. Right by New Melones allowing for ease of water activities and taking a stroll around the park. Towns are 20-30 minute drive away so supplies and in-town activities also not hard to come by.

  Only gripe is large groups nearby were noisy way past quiet hours. Besides that, great place to be.

  Dos Reis County Park

  So much lost potential

  The campground is in a good location, nice view, spacious sites at a fair price. Unfortunately, this campground could be an easy 5 stars if the camp hosts were more invested but I'm sure they are living there for free and not having to do much at all except drive around on their golf cart every couple of days. If they were invested in their responsibilities as a camphost, they wouldn't take up three spots for their extra vehicles because they'd be full. They also don't walk the park or the grassy areas(trash throughout), no clean up of sites or fire pits(dog waste bags and plastic trash bags in fire pit and broken glass at site), and they don't unlock the showers at the posted times(you get 2 hrs in the morning and 2 hrs in the evening to use showers if they're not locked up), nor do they clean the bathroom which was pretty gross the whole week I was there. The sign says to let the camp host know if the showers are locked during scheduled use times but good luck getting past their GS who lets you know not to bother them. On top of those issues, the feral cats will urinate/spray on anything left outside your rig. This park could easily get full and stay that way if issues were addressed but it's obvious that someone knows someone. If you get my drift. It's disappointing and I won't be back.

  Hidden View Campground — Hensley Lake

  Relaxing, clean, beautiful landscape

  Very calm, clean, welcoming campground on Hensley Lake. Free hot showers were clean.

  Many of the sites have very weird, undesirable layouts for RVs, either the picnic table area up a hill from the RV pad or water spigot 65ft from thr RV pad. Do some research before booking. We stayed in 44, and again 38/39 (joint sites). 38/39 has power hookup at the pad and a water spigot about 65ft away in thr middle of the site.

  All-in-all good stay and would come back if the right spots were open.

  Caswell Memorial State Park Campground

  Great getaway!

  I love how many sites here are private. It really gives the sense that you are out alone in nature, while being only 15 minutes away from the city. The restrooms are in good conditions, I haven’t tested the showers. But I’ve always enjoyed my trips here

  A negative though- people do tend to dump their cats here, so depending on the time of year cats may be heavy. In January there were lots, this last time in March I only saw one or two!

  Yosemite “Boondock National” Dispersed Camping

  Easy to find and great location

  GPS will take you straight to Goat meadow snow play area (look for signs too). Once you reach the area hang right to the dirt road and pick a spot! Plenty of space between camps and endless firewood options. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Before we parked we filled up with potable water at Wawona Campground.

  Modesto Reservoir

  Great scenery, but easily ruined by inconsiderate campers

  We recently camped at Vivian Cove and had a mixed experience.

  The positives:
  The natural setting is beautiful — right by the water with lots of ducks, and the campsite layout is quite nice. The stone seating areas are a great feature, and overall the location itself is very enjoyable. It feels more secluded compared to the main campground areas.

  Important notes about facilities:
  Be aware that facilities here are very basic. While the site may be listed as having amenities, in reality:

  • There was no visible water access at the campsite
  • No sinks or designated areas for washing dishes
  • The restrooms are vault toilets (pit-style, no running water)

  This may be expected for some campers, but it can be very different from what people assume if they see “restrooms” or “hookups” mentioned.

  The main issue:
  Our experience was heavily affected by a few groups who did not follow campground etiquette.

  • When we arrived shortly after check-in time (~4:15 PM), our reserved site was already occupied by another group
  • Some visitors appeared to be using campsites without proper reservations
  • A small number of groups were extremely disruptive at night — loud music, generators, and shouting well past quiet hours

  While many campers were respectful and quiet, it only took one or two inconsiderate groups to significantly impact the experience.

  Enforcement:
  There does appear to be enforcement — staff/patrol came through in the morning and disruptive groups were eventually asked to leave. However, quiet hours were not effectively enforced overnight.

  Tips for future visitors:

  • Bring earplugs
  • Bring your own water and be prepared for no washing facilities
  • Expect a more primitive camping setup

  Overall:
  The location is great, but the experience depends heavily on neighboring campers and expectations regarding facilit

  Pardee Reservoir Recreation Area

  Beautiful in Spring

  Beautiful. Not crowded. All the RVs are on one shaded hillside. Nice to park in the trees. Electric, water, sewage hook up all easy access. Each site comes with fire ring and picnic table, all also in the shade.
