16 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV campgrounds near Oakhurst provide year-round access to Yosemite National Park. High Sierra RV Park offers full hookup sites with 30/50-amp service, though some travelers note the premium pull-through spots can be tight for larger rigs. Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort accommodates big rigs with water, electric, and sewer connections, situated approximately 7 miles from Oakhurst. Yosemite RV Resort in nearby Coarsegold features full hookups, a market, and sanitary dump facilities for motorhomes up to 40 feet. "Our spot was 34 and we had to pull out and back down another road just to exit the park with our 26-foot travel trailer."
The mountain terrain around these RV parks affects site conditions and access. Many parks have gravel pads that may require leveling blocks, particularly during spring when seasonal runoff can create uneven surfaces. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with stronger signals in Oakhurst proper and limited connectivity in parks closer to Bass Lake. Most RV resorts remain open year-round, though winter travelers should check road conditions as snow chains may be required on highways leading to Yosemite. Reservation windows typically open 6 months in advance, with summer and fall weekends filling quickly. Pets are generally welcome at all parks, though some impose breed or size restrictions.
from $50 - $75 / night

GuideBeautiful spot on the side of Bass Lake. Goat Mtn trail can be accessed right from the campground. Friendly camp host. There are definitely bears, raccoons and lots of ticks - we saw all of them. We expect that when camping in the woods but some might not. Food can’t be left out at all.
GuideThe campground is very accessible and therefore can feel busy at times (visited in October). It has flushable toilets and the general store is less than 10 min away by car. The campsites are rather close to each other, so don’t expect a lot of privacy. Our site (88C) was right in front of the restrooms, which have floodlights on all night and would not recommend. Overall, it’s a pretty good campground!
TravelerThe campground is going to be starting to do their cleanup of the over growth to make campsites better. But it is a gorgeous place to camp. Veterans free, seniors get discounts and regular camping is very reasonable. Fishing in the river. Day use side and campground side. Camp host is awesome. I've been several times and we love it. Great telephone reception, potable water spigots and restrooms (either portable outhouse or regular flush bathroom). 👍
GuideLoads of space! Not many people here in October. Park lot had two trailers and the trail to the right is wide open with numerous pullouts. Lots of great trails around for the dogs.
GuideWe loved our visit here so much we extended an extra week. The community welcomed us with open arms to participate in all their daily activities. Chris was especially helpful when we needed to arrive e early due to an issue at the park we were at. The site she gave us was very nice with papers for a patio and beautiful landscaping. We were able to watch the birds(many varieties) landing on our gutters for water from our couch. The only two things that were a little less than perfect was the road noise from 41 behind us and the water had some brown in it that filled our filter so have a spare on hand. There is a business nearby that allows you to ship items to for pickup. Trip into Yosemite via Oakhurst was about an hour (due to winding roads).
GuideThis is actually a really nice free dispersed camping site. Once you get to the Goat Meadows sign if you go left you will find a large parking lot with bathrooms. There were probably ten rigs or so jst camping up on the parking lot. If you go right down the hill you will find multiple dispersed camping sites. They are a little obscure, but some have nice fire rings that let you know it’s a site. They are very well spaced so even when you have neighbors you will hardly see or hear them. At the top of the hill where you go left or right was a camp host looking site but not sure if it is actually, but there was a camper there with a bumper pull trailer who uses a very loud shop type cheap generator that you can literally hear all over the area. Luckily, he turned it off about 10pm but started it up around 8am. If it weren’t for him probably would have given this site five stars. Also, T-Mobile and ATT both had zero cell service our phones were both on SOS but that really wasn’t a problem for us.
RangerNot even sure i found the exact place. Go through a little neighborhood an come to a gravel road. Found a little turn around an spent the night. Didnt see anyone. Cell coverage enough to get texts.
TravelerBeautiful. Would definitely come back.
GuideIt was freezing when we went! The camp host was so nice and welcoming. The site was pretty close to the noisy highway.
Tent camping near Oakhurst provides access to the Sierra National Forest at elevations ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 feet. The region experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures frequently exceeding 90°F between June and September, while spring camping often means navigating seasonal creek crossings and muddy conditions. Campsites along the Fresno River offer natural swimming areas during summer months when water levels moderate.
River swimming: 2 miles from Oakhurst. High Sierra RV Park features access to the Fresno River with natural swimming opportunities. "The creek, waterfalls & rope swing over the swimming hole was unbelievable!! The kids enjoyed the rope swing while the mom enjoyed the walk back to the falls & thru the shallow waters," reports Emily L.
Fishing: 30 minutes from campgrounds. Rainbow trout can be caught in early spring at nearby waterways. "I managed to catch a 12" rainbow almost right away, just feet from the campsite. Later on hooked another one but lost it," writes LILI P. from McCabe Flat Campground.
Biking: Easy access from camp. Paved trails connect several campgrounds to town amenities. "Loved all the bike trails. Easy to catch a bus into town or take a quick 5 min drive," notes Karissa J. about Mammoth Mountain RV Park. Some parks offer bike rentals for $15-25 per day.
Swimming pools: Summer relief. When temperatures rise above 90°F, campground pools provide welcome relief. "Large clean pool with a shallow lounging section. Playground. Bathrooms/showers were freshly renovated and clean," notes Sherrie R. about Yosemite RV Resort.
Proximity to lakes: 7-15 minute drives. Several campgrounds offer quick access to Bass Lake recreation areas. "We spent the weekend in site 126. Only a 15 min hike to the lake and a 30 min drive into Yosemite. Bingo night was awesome and the staff was very friendly," reports Garett S. from Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort.
Pet accommodations: Dedicated areas. Many rv sites near Oakhurst, California include designated pet areas. "Great place and experience. Large dog run which was amazing. Personal just a bit expensive 100 ish for a rv spot with 30 amp an water," mentions Jesse F. about Yosemite RV Resort.
Cell service limitations: Varies widely. Many camping areas have limited connectivity. "AT&T service is poor and WiFi is sketchy except in the clubhouse and office areas," notes Mike H. about Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort. Some campgrounds offer WiFi hotspots near main buildings only.
Site spacing varies: Research specific sites. Proximity between sites differs significantly between campgrounds and sections. "Sites were fairly clean where we stayed but a trek to the water. The water itself was pretty gross and tons of geese everywhere," comments Kimmee P.
Road access considerations: Plan ahead. Some rv campgrounds near Oakhurst require navigating narrow roads. "Road closed (indefinite?) about 3 miles before camp. Route 140 from Mariposa. No access to Yosemite," warns Robert H. about McCabe Flat Campground. Check current road conditions before departure.
Petting zoos: Unique entertainment. Yosemite Pines RV Resort offers animal encounters for children. "The Llamas were an absolute plus as well. We loved how close it was to the park. The price for the yurt was like $100 a night and when we split that up, it was nothing!" shares Emily Grace M.
Game rooms: Evening activities. Several campgrounds maintain indoor recreation areas with board games and activities. "The day room with tons of things to do, a separate day room for kids, a large fire pit, showers, store at the office, horseshoe and 2 shuffleboard courts," Michael C. mentions about Bass Lake.
Movie nights: Seasonal programs. Look for campgrounds offering outdoor films during summer. "While we were there, they played movies at sunset next to the pool," notes Michael C. Evening entertainment typically runs between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends.
Site selection: Call ahead. Many rv sites near Oakhurst, California require specific placement knowledge. "Our spot was 39 and it was right next to the bathroom. To leave with a 26' travel trailer I had to pull out and back down another road just to exit the park," explains Michael G. about High Sierra RV Park.
Leveling challenges: Bring blocks. Several RV parks have uneven sites requiring additional equipment. "The site we pulled into was really tight with a hill and drop off on either side so our picnic table had to be in front of the airstream. You are right next to the resort where there are restaurants but, not really any beach access," shares kim from Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort.
Dump station timing: Plan departures. Morning congestion affects exit times at larger parks. "Upon leaving, the access road is totally blocked by vehicles lined up for the dump station. If you want to avoid this, leave early," advises Patrick J. about Mammoth Mountain RV Park.
