  Devils Postpile

  Nature Lovers Dream

  There are so many wonders to see at this campground. This is a first come, first serve campground, so reservations are not available. The campground has flushing toilets and running water but no showers. This is a more tent friendly campground, as very few of the sites are large enough for a trailer or RV. They do not have rv hook ups.  Each site is has a picnic table, fire pit, and bear proof storage.

  There is so much to see in the area; Yosemite, Devil's Postpile Monument, tons of trails, rivers, streams and meadows. Many of the trails lead you to swimming holes and waterfalls (go to Rainbow Falls)

  Worth the look to see if a site is available.

  Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes

  Great place near Yosemite

  You come into Yosemite Lakes by a little Thousand Trails convenience store and gas station. It's kind of handy since there's really nothing nearby other than Groveland. Make sure to come in at this entrance though. When coming from the west GPS likes to take you through Hardin Flat Road... don't go that way with an RV. Check-in was quick and easy. Don't forget it's first come first serve like most Thousand Trails campgrounds. Staff were all very friendly. There's complimentary wifi at the main office if you need it. There's NO phone signal of any kind for miles. There is Jabba Communications wifi throughout that campground that you can pay for but it's pricey and very shoddy and unpredictable here. Unless you're staying for a long time it's not worth it.

  Every spot pretty much has full hookups but only a few with 50 amp. The rest have 30 amp. Again, as I've said with other Thousand Trails, that just seems like laziness to me. These campgrounds have been around long enough to see the need for upgrades.

  We parked at the far east end past the cabins in a pull-through group spot. They are the biggest spots and didn't seem like people really use that area much. It was pretty quiet for the two weeks we were there. It's off season as well though. Power went out to the entire campground two days in a row. Not the campground's fault as high winds knocked out power to the entire area. They were nice and let us use our generator even though they are not allowed any other time.

  There's a little river that runs along the campground that looks like it would be beautiful in the spring and summer when there's more water. It still had quite a bit flowing through over by the main office. Yosemite National Forest is just a short distance away. Some great hikes and sights to see!

  I'd say with a few more updates this one could easily be a 5-star!

  Willow Springs Resort

  Nice family owned facility convenient to Bridgeport

  General: 27-site RV park plus eight-room motel. Restrooms and laundry facility. Pets are allowed and the WiFi signal was decent. 

  Site Quality: All sites are gravel, back-in, and appeared level. A few in the rear of the park looked like they might be slightly skewed sideways. All are full hook-up, although we did not use the hookups. Our site (and several others) had nice birdhouses in the trees.

  Bathhouse: Small but clean. Two stalls, one sink, and one shower. There is no additional cost to use the shower, but you are asked to keep it short to conserve water. 

  Activities: Close to the turn-off to Bodie State Park and also the town of Bridgeport. There is a horseshoe pit and large campfire area which I imagine would be in use during the summers when the park is full. 

  Be aware that you will hear road noise as this RV park is located on Highway 395, but it did quiet down later in the night. We normally do not stay in RV parks, but this was just an overnight for us and because there were only a few people there when we were there, our site felt more private. Becky, the owner, was very accommodating for our last-minute stay request.

  Bridalveil Creek Campground — Yosemite National Park

  Not just group and horse camps

  These sites are first come, first serve which is good and bad. Doesn't fill up like some of the year round sites right by half dome and it's really not that far if you want to get some awesome views.

  Good space for tents and you're semi secluded from other campers and not as many RVs/Trailers as some of the other campgrounds.

  Decent access to drinking water and each site has tables and fire rings, no RV hookups (another reason you have more "campers" and it's less noisy at night).

  Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes

  Yosemite Lakes Groveland

  Thousand Trails Membership allows me to stay 21 days free. Just 5 miles outside of Yosemite Entrance or Catch the bus right here at the campground. Campfires allowed. Lots of activities for the kids. Dog Friendly. Creek near by to cool off during hot summer days.

  Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes

  Yosemite Lakes RV Resort in California is a little peice of Yosemite Valley

  Yosemite Lakes RV Resort was a gem of a campground. It was like we were nestled in the heart of Yosemite Valley but we were actually over an hour away from it. A taste of what Yosemite National Park has to offer, if you will. They offer the best riverfront camping spots. The tranquil waters were a pleasant surprise to our trip. We have been to Yosemite many times but have never experienced it quite like this before. I recommend Yosemite Lakes RV Resort to anyone looking to take a relaxing break from lifes hustle and bustle.

  Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes

  Amazing Campground a short drive from Yosemite National Park

  This has been the best Thousand Trails campground that we have been to. Plenty of outdoor activities at the campgrounds. Hiking trails, fishing, bike rides, spots next to the river. There is no cell phone reception and the paid wifi is terrible so it is best not to purchase it.

  Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes

  Large franchise campground close to Yosemite Nat'l Park

  We are members of Thousand Trails so our review may be a little different than someone who is a non-member. Here's why. The majority of the campground (the nicer parts next to the river) is for members only. The smaller, tighter section is for non-members.

  WiFi: Yes they have it. It is only available in the 'lounge area'. It's VERY slow. Instead I went east by 4 miles to a hotel to have a beer and connect for work.

  Sites: Those by the river are packed close together and more shaded. We didn't care to be packed like sardines, so we opted for one of the middle sites. Hardly anyone was in these sites so it was quiet and spacious. No problem with full-hookups.

  Events:It's a resort so they have something going on every weekend. While we were there it was a family movie and Octoberfest (beer and bratwurst for $5). Then smores by the fire with music. It was nice.

  Proximity: Although it is very close to the park boundary, it is still an hour to the valley. We couldn't get a spot in the valley so we accepted this as the way it was. No biggie. There was also a bus that took you into the valley in the morning and back in the afternoon for a reasonable price.

  Service: The staff was friendly and patient with all the folks that came in at 7pm begging/demanding for a site.

  Overall, I would go back.

  Yosemite Pines RV Resort & Family Lodging

  Great option if Yosemite’s full

  Great option if your looking for full rv hookups. If you’re tent camping, this might not be the best place. Bathrooms were very unclean but the park gets the job done as a place to sleep while visiting Yosemite. No Verizon or T-Mobile coverage. Wifi available for purchase.

  Mono Vista RV Park

  Amazing!

  We loved this cute family owned and operated RV Park! They have tent sites as well as full and partial hookup sites for RVs. Showers, restrooms and laundry were Immaculate. Property is beautiful and well manicured. This is a fantastic campground if you plan on visiting Yosemite as it is only 12 miles from the main entrance and about 1 mike from HWY 120. Staff were very helpful and friendly and make you feel so welcome. Thank you Beaver Family! So fun to see all of the travelers come in on foot or in their RVs from all over the World. The only reason this gets a 4 star review is site size and no wood fires. You are very close together with minimal room outside your trailer.

  Marble Quarry RV Resort

  Ok

  Was an OK spot to stay at for the time we needed it. Very questionable characters living in long-term. Prefer a spot that does background checks for anybody staying there long term. Playground was in rough shape, swings broken. Place needs an overhaul big time. Really really pretty area and the town of Columbia is very cute. Would return, but only as a last option.

  Tuolumne Meadows Campground — Yosemite National Park

  High Sierra's at its best!

  This is the only high Sierra Campground that is accessible by car. Camping is half reservations, half first come first serve, but can be hard to get into. There is potable water and flushing toilets, but no showers or RV hookups. There is a small store with the basics close by, and a little grill restaurant. Due to high elevation, it gets cold at night, but its worth it. Lots of great hiking and climbing close by. An awesome place to camp!

  Angels Camp Campground and RV

  Nice Family Camp

  Stayed here in May. Old KOA campground has been redone. Very clean and making improvements. Lots of activities for kids (pool, horseshoes, playground). East side of CG seems to accommodate more for families with kids while west side is better for RVs. Most RV sites have full hookups and are pull throughs. Drove up to Lake Alpine with snow on the ground.

  June Lake RV Park

  Fun at June Lake

  This was our first time here at June Lake RV Park. Easy walk to Gull and June Lake loop. Went to Bodie National Sate Park and Lee Vining. 

   The owner is very friendly and helpful. The park is small and quaint. It also has a cabin that can be rented out.  There is full hookups, no public restrooms. Even though they advertise there is WiFi it’s a very poor signal.

  Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes

  So you got skunked in the park campgrounds

  You may as well stay close, right? Well... Whip out your wallet and empty on it on the check-in desk of this thousand trails (or whatever) park. For the price of the presidential penthouse suite at the top of the Reno Nugget, I was granted access to a dusty, undefined pad of petrified dirt on the outskirts of this RV and yurt focused campground on which to erect my elaborate two-pole tent. It was a little noisy and occupied by an effervescent mixture of post-millenial biker kids and scowling unibrow backpack bros in Arctic-ready shelters.

  Here's the thing: the staff was super friendly, the store was well stocked, and where the holy everloving fuckelse was I gonna go? From tent teardown to nat'l park access was probably all of 15 minutes. Equally 100% bilked and satisfied - aka "thank you sir, may I have another!?"

  Inyo National Forest Oh Ridge Campground

  Great Public Campground, with wonderful views

  We stayed here in early summer on a trailer camping trip through the Sierrra's, this was our 4th night on our trip and this campground was a surprise and honestly, I wish we would have booked more nights. We had a site up towards the back of the campground, but that gave us territorial views and allowed for some privacy. The campground is surrounded by wonderful mountains and there is a lake down below that was nice and refreshing. We tried our hand at fishing and also rented kayaks and paddled around for a bit.

  June Lake Campground

  Spacious campground with flushable toilets

  This campground was spacious and a single campsite easily fit 3 tents for 6 people. We could have put more if we needed to, I was impressed. It was set back away from the lake and so it was quite a walk to the beach, but that didn’t bother us.

  We saw lots of wildlife and even had several deer come hang out in our campsite. They are clearly comfortable with humans.

  Campground has:

  -flushable toilets

  -running water for washing dishes

  -drinking water

  -RV hookups

  -large bear lockers

  Crane Flat Campground — Yosemite National Park

  Dry Dirt Family Fun!

  Beautiful area to camp, still far from the actual Valley but quiet enough to make day trips. Very dry dirt, like when you step there is a puff, so 1yr old was plenty dirty right away! Facilities are just bathrooms and water station. RV hookups and tent sites. Sites are close together and all around you. There is not enough coverage for true privacy. There were hammocks all over and I wished we had one. Bear boxes are large enough to cover all your food needs. Kids enjoyed it for their first trip and we even had a dear visit our campsite!

  Our first time here, reservation required before showing up. This was the off season so everything was open and quiet. Nice bathrooms no charge. Playground for kids. They have full hook ups or you could do dry camping. Every camp has it own water so that was nice. Good price for $20

  Barrett Cove Recreation Area

  HILLS!

  The staff there were great, very helpful and accommodating. They put us in G loop #19 which was pretty much on a hill and with my 33 foot travel trailer, there was no way for me to get it in there and level. I actually snapped a bolt off my stabilizer trying to back my rig in there, so we told the rangers we wouldn’t be comfortable in that spot even though it had full hook ups, so they moved us to McClure Point Rec Area. If you are planing to come out here, check out McClure Point Rec Area...much better sites and way better views, no sewer hook ups, but it’s worth it.

  Glass Creek

  Great for the price!

  It's free but donations are welcome. It's more for boondocking your trailer or RV. Spots are huge. Great for motorcycle/snowmobile. I was the only person in a tent. Not great if you're looking for tent camping atmosphere. But close to Mammoth and June Lake Loop. Had a bear visitor. Better for RV camping.
