Best RV Parks & Resorts near North Fork, CA

Several RV parks surround North Fork, California, providing convenient access to Yosemite National Park and Bass Lake. High Sierra RV Park in Oakhurst offers full hookup sites with 30/50 amp service, though some travelers note the spaces can be tight for larger rigs. Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort features big-rig friendly sites with full hookups on gravel pads, situated approximately 20 miles from Yosemite's southern entrance. Yosemite RV Resort in Coarsegold provides year-round camping with full hookup sites, including 50 amp electrical service and pull-through options for larger motorhomes. "Sites are moderate sized with bear locker, picnic table and fire pit," notes one RVer about camping in the region, highlighting the standard amenities available at most parks.

Navigation to some RV campgrounds requires careful planning due to mountain roads with sharp turns. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area - Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes has "NO phone signal of any kind for miles," according to one reviewer, though paid WiFi is available at most RV parks. Dump stations are present at all major RV resorts, with some offering on-site pumping services for extended stays. Summer months see high occupancy rates, making advance reservations essential, particularly for premium pull-through sites. Most RV parks in the region welcome pets, with several offering dedicated dog areas. During winter months, temperatures drop significantly at night even when days remain warm, so RVers should prepare accordingly with adequate propane supplies for heating.

    COE Eastman Lake Codorniz Campground

    Quiet and Clean - Codorniz Corps Campground

    We have stayed at this campground many times and recently revisited in September’24. This COE is on a small lake that is used for irrigation during the summer resulting in a much lower water level than in the spring. Fishing is good. The Corps have added more electric sites over the years and there were 5-6 that fit our 43’ Blue Bird. We marked this as “big rig” friendly. Springtime has the grasses green with abundant wild flowers in late Feb through early March. Summer can be hot as the elevation is low in the California Central Valley and the grasses are brown. Sites are asphalt. Many sites may take some time to level. Back in and pull through are available. A nice dump stations is available within the COE park. Fall has a Tarantula migration and you will definitely see them. Coyote, Bobcat, and deer are frequently seen. Codorniz is 21 miles from Chowchilla. One way in and one way out cuts down on traffic.

    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!

    Mammoth Mountain RV Park & Campground

    Good spot! Close to east end of Mammoth and plenty to do on-site!

    Stayed here for a week. Great spot for the family while I worked. Plenty for the kids and family to do and a great location close enough to bike/walk to most stores on the east end of town. 

    Our reservation said 50 amp partial hookups. But only the full-hookup sites have 50 amp. Partial hookups are 30amp with water, but the water access depends on the weather/season you're there in. We had to fill up with Fresh Water before we got to our site but it's in a convenient spot so not too big of a deal. 

    It is a parking lot but there was plenty of space for us and our SUV. Pool and Laundry Mat/Showers were close as well which made things nice. Starbucks is a short walk away too if that's your jam. 

    Great spot just make sure to call so there's no surprises with water/hookups etc. 

    Amenities: Pool & Jacuzzi / Laundry Mat / Showers & Bathrooms / Dump Station / Playground.

    Island Park

    Beautiful, but difficult

    This park is absolutely stunning this time of year. There are wildflowers everywhere and the weather was a perfect low 70s in the daytime and 50s at night. We stayed in spot 33 which says for 53’ or less… we are 42’ and barely fit so be careful there. Additionally, you will NOT fit here if you can’t take your rig past a 90* turn safely. It was a bit of a nightmare getting turned around to back in here (we have a 42’ toy hauler and a 3500 ram DRW with an Andersen hitch), BUT we’ve had an incredible week here. Stars were beautiful, the nature trail was perfect for our three boys, and the views are absolutely stunning. Worth the $20 a night. If you’re a big rig, park in overflow or the upper loop. Trust me on this.

    Camp Edison

    Room to Roam

    We have been coming to Camp Edison annually for the past 15 years and have never been disappointed. Each site has plenty of room and includes a picnic table and fire pit. It’s a short walk to Shaver Lake from virtually any of the sites, and several have a nice view of the lake. Fishing, boating, swimming or just picnicking on one of the many beaches surrounding the lake is a great way to spend your time. Some sites have full hook ups, but most have just electricity and cable TV, with water faucets nearby to fill your RV or use as needed if dry camping. There is a dump station on site and also a “honey wagon” that will come to your site and pump out your waste water, if you desire. Restrooms are clean and plentiful and each has a shower (25 cents for 2 minutes). The laundromat has come in handy several times, too. Camp Edison has great activities during the summer season including guided educational nature walks, both day and evening, as well as kids’ movies in the amphitheater. There is also a museum on site that offers activities and fun events like an ice cream social.

    High Sierra RV Park

    It would be our last resort if nothing else was available

    I’ll start with the positive. If you need anything stores are close and entrance to Yosemite is 15 min up the road. Now for the negative. We have 29 foot travel trailer and we reserved a premium pull through spot. Although we could pull through the spaces were very tight and we just happen to get lucky that nobody was across from us as there is only in one way in and one way out. We were able to use other empty spot across from us to turn around. Had it been full we would have had a heck of a time getting out. One family came in last night and their spot was at the very end and they had to back all the way out of the park so they could back their trailer all the way back in. It is ridiculous. Our spot was also very hard to try and level our trailer. We never did quite get it leveled the way we would’ve liked. The bathrooms aren’t very clean and the “beach” is over grown and i wouldn’t really even let my dog in the stagnant water. Bottom line this place is not good for your larger travel trailers our size or bigger. Especially if you are in a spot like we had which was spot 34 or a spot towards the end. Maybe better spot near the entrance. Class c generally would have no problem.

    Lake George Campground

    Love Lake George!

    Lake George was the perfect camp spot for our 4 night stay. It is first come first serve. We stayed in site 14 - the mountain side or tree side is better because it’s not windy at all! All the spots with lake view are very windy and it can be cold even in the summer! The bathrooms are super clean and have real toilets. No showers though! There is lots to do in the area and Lake George isn’t nearly as busy as Lake Mary/ Pine City camp. Although there is day use areas and it can be busy with fishing. Lots of wildlife in the area, so use the Bear box and keep food in containers. Even the chipmunks, birds, and mice will get into your stuff. I saw chipmunks trying to break into tents. This site is small RV/Trailer friendly - we stayed in our truck camper. This is NOT for big rigs or class A RVs. Also no hookups but they have a water spyket. Beware of elevation if you are not used to it - it’s at a whopping 9,250 feet and I was sick for 2 days. It’s $34 a night and quiet hours are 10pm-6am. Generators are aloud just not during quiet hours. Bring your paddle board or kayak and hit the water! It’s so beautiful here.

    Sweetwater

    Sweetwater sure was sweet!

    We (a team of 6 people) are in SD participating in an adventure race called Questival. This campground had full restrooms and coin opporated showers. The site is pet friendly and has horse stables. Our neighbors were friendly and quiet. The site had a picnic table, fire pit, water spout and full electricity hook ups.

    Wishon Village RV Resort

    Unplug and Enjoy Nature

      We stayed at this campground may years ago (2006-2008) and it has remained one of our favorites.

      Our most recent stay was for a small rally of 8 class A RVs from 34' to 43' in length all with tow vehicles. Wishon was able to accommodate all of us. 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.  Expect at least a 40+ minute drive from the Shaver lake turn off. On the way you will pass a grove of Giant Sequoia trees with a pull out to walk or picnic among them.

      All sites are gravel and have full hook ups.  Some sites have 50 amp service but it will rarely be needed because of the elevation of 6800 feet. All sites will accommodate the RV, vehicle, boat, and more. Wishon also has tent sites with or without platforms. 

      There are many activities available from this campground. Hiking, mountain bike riding, Jeep trails (Dusy-Ershim Trail), and fishing.   Two reservoirs are nearby, Wishon and Courtright. Courtright at 8200' opens later than Wishon at 6600'. Rainbow and German Browns can be caught.

      Wishon Village has a nice store with most necessities and sells fishing licenses.


Guide to North Fork

Camping options near North Fork, California center around proximity to major attractions including Yosemite National Park, Kings Canyon, and Bass Lake. Elevations typically range from 3,000-4,000 feet, creating cooler camping conditions compared to the Central Valley floor. North Fork camping provides access to the Sierra National Forest with numerous creeks and rivers flowing through campgrounds during spring and early summer months.

What to do

River activities at McCabe Flat: Located approximately 35 miles from North Fork, McCabe Flat Campground offers water-based recreation. "The river is right next to the campground which is very pretty and very cold. As of us being here, it's roaring and unsafe to do anything in, but apparently when it calms down (I think later in summer/fall) it's good for tubing and other river sports," notes a camper about McCabe Flat Campground.

Fishing opportunities: Bass Lake provides various fishing spots accessible from nearby campgrounds. "The closest store is about 10-15 miles from the bridge in Midpines so come prepared... I managed to catch a 12" rainbow almost right away, just feet from the campsite," reports a camper at McCabe Flat Campground about their fishing experience.

Day trips to national parks: Campgrounds serve as base camps for exploring nearby national parks. "This place was great. You're 25 miles from the entrance of Yosemite. The resort has a great pool and playground for the kids. We stayed here 3 nights not could've stayed here a week easy," explains a camper at Yosemite RV Resort.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept washrooms and common areas. "Bathrooms and showers are very clean. We stayed in the large spaces that have electricity and water only. Very quiet and nice," writes a visitor to Mammoth Mountain RV Park.

Riverside locations: Campsites positioned along waterways receive positive mentions. "We had a great time. We were very welcome," notes a simple but direct review from a camper at Sequoia RV Park, where riverside sites are available.

On-site activities: Recreation facilities at campgrounds provide entertainment options. "Many options to stay! Rv, bring your own tent, yurts, safari tents, cabins. RV spaces have many different location styles, secluded, views, groups etc. Large clean pool with a shallow lounging section. Playground," explains a camper at Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort.

What you should know

Limited connectivity: Cell service varies significantly between campgrounds. "Beautiful campground with even more amazing staff. It is First come first serve (after a reservation) so get there early... Oh there is no cell service and the 'pay WIFI' did not work for us...but there is complimentary WiFi at the laundry to check in on things that works just fine," reports a visitor at Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes.

Distance considerations: Proximity to Yosemite's entrance differs from distance to attractions within the park. "We didn't know that the '20 miles from Yosemite' just meant the entrance, we still had to drive about 30 miles to get into the valley," explains a Bass Lake camper.

Space constraints: Site dimensions vary considerably between campgrounds and specific site numbers. "Quiet; dog park; pool; playground; fire pit; only thing is sites and small," notes a concise review from Yosemite RV Resort.

Tips for camping with families

Recreational amenities: Campgrounds with pools and playgrounds enhance family camping experiences. "Spots large enough for almost all size rigs. Tents too. Good bathroom amenities and swimming pool/spa. Playground. Walking distance to town. Great walking paths," explains a reviewer at Mammoth Mountain RV Park.

Water access considerations: Swimming opportunities attract families but require safety awareness. "The water was cold, high and fast but I managed to catch a 12" rainbow almost right away, just feet from the campsite," notes a McCabe Flat camper.

Bear awareness: Wildlife precautions remain essential for family safety. "All food goes into the containers, don't leave anything smelly in your car incase a bear tries to break in. Also, the squirrels are a little too friendly, clearly they rely on the humans in the area for food, so try not to drop food on the ground & don't feed them," advises a McCabe Flat Campground visitor.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: Choosing RV sites strategically affects overall experience. "We ended up on the 'outside' of the spots in the trees. But, we did not have anyone in either side of us. Huge spot. It's pretty here. No nearby grocery so have what you need," shares a Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes visitor about their RV site near North Fork.

Leveling challenges: Some RV sites require additional equipment for proper setup. "We are in spot 116 a bit unlevel but we managed. Check in was quick and easy. Hook ups were easy. Kinda tight we are a Odessey 26D with a jeep gladiator. Verizon is three bars and WiFi works great," notes a camper at Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort.

Size restrictions: Access roads limit the size of RVs at certain campgrounds. "There is a narrow bridge before the campgrounds that limits vehicle size. It is not advisable for trailers over 18 feet in length," warns a McCabe Flat visitor about RV access.
