  Mariposa Fairgrounds

  Camping at the fair.

  Full hookups on level gravel pads. We stayed in lot 5 at the back of the fair grounds, and it was quiet at night. The showers were clean, and the wifi was the best campground internet we have experienced. It is 2 miles from town, but there are plenty of restaurants and a market in Mariposa to make the trip worthwhile Make sure you go to the Mine and Mineral museum on the the grounds.

  Awesome place!

  I don’t if I want to leave a review. 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. That’s why I don’t want to hype this place up too much. I don’t want to have to worry about fighting others for last minute spots. So if you read this far, this place is awesome, but leave some spots open for us last-minute planners.

  Mariposa Fairgrounds

  Cool spot - 1 Hour From Yosemite

  Underrated for sure - we stayed 2 nights while exploring Yosemite because we could not find a campground closer with spots. Big grassy area close to Mineral Museum, water and electric hookups. We basically had the fairgrounds to ourselves. They have additional spots in more of a parking lot setting, well marked.

  $55 per night Wifi worked great

  Mercey Hot Springs

  Amazing Place

  I Van Camped at Mercey Hot Springs for 5 days. When I arrived the nights were hot so I decided to take an AC Cabin #10 where I could park right next to the cabin and slept comfortably. I moved to a RV camp site #5 when the temps at night were a more comfortable mid 60s. I love that the hot tubs are available all night long. It allows for long soaks while star gazing. The therapeutic water is magical some of the best I have found. As soon as you enter the pool or hot tubs you feel the smooth water on your skin. The hot tubs are all oversized privet bath tubs that you fill with mineral water of your desired temperature. This is a completely off the grid resorts that has good energy and tranquil atmosphere. It is very clean with clean bath rooms and showers. When I was there in June 2024 they did not have the restaurant open yet but one looks like it is in the near future. They do have snacks, cold drinks, coffee, ice cream and Ice in the front office for purchase. I took the short hike up the hill to see the solar array, while up there I discovered a most amazing triple Labyrinth circle walk that was very mindful experience. I have never seen such a neat labyrinth as this. Truly an amazing stay, I will be back.

  Back for more

  This time I brought a friend who hadn't been here before. 

  As usual, the staff was great! Very friendly at our arrival and in the evening while performing their drive-by checks. 

  This time I actually tried the showers and I was not disappointed. Great water pressure, plenty warm and cleaner than you might expect. Sure, there are some bugs that get in, but it was way nicer than showering in my van. 

  The bathrooms are well maintained and stocked with paper towels and tp. They really do a nice job here.

  The riding was great. We were in awe of how empty it was. Father's Day weekend and we never came across anyone else on the trails. 

  We did have to relocate. My buddy couldn't get his RV into the hillside spot we'd reserved - M49 I think it was.

  Barrett Cove Recreation Area

  Continues to be a great MTB destination

  Since my initial visit in 2021 I've been back 4 or 5 times now. I guess that means I like it.

  Generally, it's a great place - especially for mountain biking fans. Perhaps also for fishing and other activities, but that's outside my scope of interest. 

  On my first return visit I went to the same spot as the first visit. It was a bad choice - crowded and full of RVs who ran their generators all night long. The next morning I scouted out some better spots. The ranger was quite accommodating and allowed me to move to a quiet spot on top of a hill. This area has become my "go to" as it's close to the Exchequer trailhead and away from boaters. 

  Subsequent visits have been much better.

  Could be a 5 star place, but shade is hard to come by in some areas and some clusters of camp sites get noisy when they're used by groups. 

  None of my complaints will stop me from going again - the trails are great and keep getting better.

  The photos are from various visits.

  nice camp but spots are too close to each other

  Nice camp, clean toilets and restrooms. They rent a small spot and therefore there is little privacy between each RV

  At least when we visited the RV Park and the adjacent Cedar Lodge was functioning as one, meaning we could also use their pool, arcade, ping pong etc. Good places with tables, BBQ included.

  Indian Flat RV Park

  Close to Hwy 140 park entrance

  After November 1st, the office is closed and the RV park is on autopilot. There is no hot water in the bathrooms, which are not maintained. Site #125 had a faulty ground, so we used power from site #124. We basically were the last to leave on December 1st, closing day. The lodge next door has great wifi, a gift shop and a lobby with hot drinks. Location is very good for access to Yosemite.

  AutoCamp Yosemite

  Cozy and comfortable airstreams

  It was a delightful place to stay when trying to access Yosemite‘s fire fall. The amenities were lovely, including the campfire grill at each site with food that you could purchase from the clubhouse to grill. Inside the air streams were very cozy and comfortable without feeling claustrophobic. We got a February discount for when we went, which makes it more affordable. These are expensive in all seasons. Airstream could have been stabilized a bit better because it wobbled.

  Pleasent RV park on the way to Yosemite Valley

  We stayed here in winter either side of 2 nights in Yosemite. In winter check-in/drive up bookings are in the lodge reception in the main village which is great as they're open all through the night. Power was good, showers were okay - hot but lacked pressure. Wifi is provided by a third party but was reasonably priced for an overnight stop.

  Well kept site but right next to busy road

  It's a nice campsite. A bit of trash scattered around the tent spots. Excellente toilets and showers, but not so great out of hours check-in. Also 70+USD for a tent site with no hookup in November is a rip-off.

  More good than bad

  Big campground lots of sites. WiFi is no bueno can’t even get a connection. 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. Cable works great and staff is very friendly and helpful. Pool and lounge are nice as well. Playground is in great shape. There are a lot of full timers here.

  Here for Yosemite

  This park is absolutely wonderful! They have cabins, places to rent camp, laundry on site, a pool, 30/50 hookups. Pull throughs and water and sewer. 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!

  Overall great experimce

  This is my second time staying here and I’ve really enjoyed it. There are free warm showers and the bathrooms are fairly clean. If you are staying in a tent make sure to layer up and bring lots of blankets because nights can get very cold. It’s also a nice place to fish and the on-site store is a plus.

  Lake McSwain Recreation Area

  Great hospitality!

  My family and I stayed at Lake McSwain Campgrounds for a weekend during a mountain bike race at Exchequer. We showed up with our 24' trailer on Friday, and even though it was February, they brought on staff to get us all checked in since it was so busy because of the race. There was a short line to get in to the campground, but we didn't wait long and the staff was helpful and friendly. The site was a good size for two trucks and the trailer. The site was not too close to the water, not too far. The bathrooms had showers which we used since our site didn't have a sewer hookup. The site did have water and power though. The marina isn't normally open in February, but they opened due to the volume of campers that weekend. They stocked up on the basics and even had hot coffee and breakfast burritos in the morning and sandwiches at lunch. On Sunday, we moved over to a full hookup site and it was level and felt private. We camped next to some friends and stayed up around the campfire and made smores. The kids rode their bikes around the campgrounds alllll day. They had a blast! Thanks, MID!

  Fish Creek (CA)

  Survived Creek Fire but Damaged

  A lot of trees survived in the creek but the surrounding area was decimated. There are hazard trees and other damage that will have to be repaired. I don't expect it to open in 2022.
