Best RV Parks & Resorts near Raymond, CA

Several RV parks surround Raymond, California, providing convenient access to Yosemite National Park and Bass Lake recreation areas. Yosemite RV Resort in Coarsegold features full hookup sites with both 30 and 50 amp electrical service, operating year-round with big-rig friendly spaces. High Sierra RV Park in Oakhurst offers similar amenities but with notably tighter spacing between sites. "Our spot was 34 which says for 53' or less... we are 42' and barely fit so be careful there," notes one RV traveler about site dimensions in the region. Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort provides full hookups with spacious pull-through sites, though some reviewers mention the premium sites command higher prices, typically around $100 per night for water and 30 amp service.

Navigation to these RV campgrounds requires careful planning, particularly for larger motorhomes. The roads leading to some parks involve sharp 90-degree turns that can challenge longer rigs with tow vehicles. Cell service varies dramatically throughout the region, with many parks having limited or no connectivity - Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes has "NO phone signal of any kind for miles," according to visitor reports. Most RV parks in the area are pet-friendly and equipped with dump stations, though some charge additional fees for this service. Summer reservations fill quickly, especially for premium pull-through sites, so advance booking is essential during peak Yosemite visiting seasons from late spring through early fall. Many parks operate year-round, but winter access may be limited by mountain road conditions.

    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!

    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.

    Yosemite Pines RV Resort & Family Lodging

    Large Sites & Great Staff

    We stayed at Yosemite Pines while my husband worked a job from Jan - Mar in Groveland. Was amazing to have this HUGE campground all to ourselves! The sites are really big. Beautiful trees, paved roads for biking or scootering, hooting owls in the trees, huge unusual pine cones, a nature trail that goes to an old gold mine. Really special place. We had to relocate to a hotel every 28 days due to the max 28 day rules in CA (if campgeound is not zoned for long term campers, visitors can only stay 28 days at a time). There are laundry facilities on site. My only complaint is the rotting picinic tables. I also wish there was a rec room or something where we could all hang out during heavy rain or snow storms.

    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.

    Yosemite Ridge

    Nice main loop, but...

    Summary as of late June 2020:

    -Super nice, helpful manager -Great location for Yosemite/Hetch Hetchy -Large, clean restrooms -Inconsistent electricity -Bear Lot is right next to Hwy 120 -Coyote Lot is literally a new gravel parking lot, 4x4 required -No wi-fi in Bear Lot or Coyote Lot

    First of all, I have to say that the manager (owner? I never caught his name) was very kind and tried his best to accommodate everyone there. The location is great for trips to Yosemite, and if you’re lucky enough to reserve a spot in the ‘main loop’ (I don’t see this ability online), you’ll probably love it. The bathrooms are large and clean and there is laundry, a small playground, a small pool (closed during our stay), and a privately run store on-site.

    We brought our 28’ toy hauler here at the end of June 2020. We had reserved a spot in Coyote Lot, which we were told over the phone would be no problem. Upon arrival, the manager had his doubts but told us to “put the truck in 4x4 and give it a go!” Coyote Lot looks like a newly, semi-leveled gravel parking lot with full hook-ups… no trees or shade. There were some longer spots, but there was no way our trailer would fit in the one we reserved. The lot also exits through a run-down residential grouping of trailers, some occupied and some abandoned.

    The manager put us in Bear Lot, no question, after it was determined Coyote Lot would not work. This lot is a little more established than Coyote, but still a gravel parking lot with electricity (inconsistently for many) and water hook-ups. The lot is pretty level and separated from Hwy 120 by a wooden fence. There are some picnic tables and fire pits, but not enough for each spot. We didn’t end up having to use our generator like others did. There were tent campers and rv/trailers in this lot.

    Side note: the Rainbow Pools swimming hole that is recommended on the website was WAY overcrowded and I do not suggest going unless maybe you go in the early morning. There were tons of people, tons of litter, and no respect for nature… very sad to see.

    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.

Guide to Raymond

Campgrounds near Raymond, California serve as convenient bases for Yosemite exploration, with most located 15-45 minutes from park entrances. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F in this foothills region, while winter conditions may limit access to higher-elevation camping areas. Cell service remains spotty throughout the region with multiple campgrounds reporting complete communication blackouts.

What to do

River activities: At McCabe Flat Campground, the Merced River offers seasonal recreation opportunities. "The water was cold, high and fast but I managed to catch a 12" rainbow almost right away, just feet from the campsite," reports one angler. During lower water periods later in summer, the river becomes suitable for wading and swimming.

Wildlife observation: Yosemite Pines RV Resort & Family Lodging maintains a small petting zoo on property. "With a pool, petting zoo, a corral where they have a fire and s'mores followed by a movie, this is a great place to camp with the kids," mentions a visitor. The wider region supports diverse wildlife viewing with deer and small mammals frequently spotted.

Golf access: The Lakes RV & Golf Resort provides direct access to adjacent golf facilities. "You can walk through a gate to the golf course and a nice little restaurant," notes one reviewer. The well-maintained course offers reasonable green fees compared to resort areas closer to Yosemite.

What campers like

Swimming options: Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort earns positive reviews for its pool facilities. "This place was awesome. Only a 15 min hike to the lake and a 30 min drive into Yosemite. We spent the weekend in site 126 it was a level site with limited shade and full hookups," explains one camper. The pool provides cooling relief when summer temperatures climb.

Community atmosphere: Many campgrounds organize regular activities. "Bingo night was awesome and the staff was very friendly," reports a visitor to Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort. Similarly, Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes offers organized weekend 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."

Riverside camping: Multiple campgrounds feature riverside sites. "We lucked out with a pretty big and shaded riverfront spot (site 73) and could not have been happier," notes a Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes visitor. These water-adjacent sites provide natural cooling and scenic views but tend to fill fastest.

What you should know

Utility limitations: While most rv sites near Raymond, California offer full hookups, service capacities vary. At Yosemite RV Resort, one visitor notes "WiFi is no bueno can't even get a connection. We booked a pull through deluxe full hookup site." Similar connectivity issues affect most campgrounds in the region.

Site spacing concerns: Several campgrounds feature tightly spaced sites. At McCabe Flat Campground, "The sites are very close together so get ready to be nice to your neighbors." This proximity becomes more noticeable during peak season weekends when campgrounds reach capacity.

Reservation timing: During summer months, sites fill quickly. "By Saturday morning all sites were full," reports a visitor to McCabe Flat Campground. For campgrounds offering reservations, booking 3-6 months in advance proves necessary during peak seasons, particularly for premium sites.

Wildlife precautions: Food storage regulations apply throughout the region. "All food goes into the containers, don't leave anything smelly in your car incase a bear tries to break in," advises a camper about McCabe Flat. Even rodents present challenges: "The squirrels are a little too friendly, clearly they rely on the humans in the area for food."

Tips for camping with families

Pool amenities: High Sierra RV Park offers water recreation features beyond simple swimming. "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," shares one family. Multiple campgrounds in the region maintain pools to offset summer heat.

Playground access: Yosemite RV Resort provides dedicated play areas. "We had a blast here. You're 25 miles from the park entrance, on a straight path. The sites were a great space and the pool and playground was a lot of fun of the kids," notes a visitor. These facilities help occupy younger campers between excursions.

Entertainment options: Organized activities help during extended stays. At Yosemite Pines RV Resort & Family Lodging, "There is a high volume of campers and it seemed they struggled a bit to keep up with the bathrooms but place more blame on people's poor manners in cleaning up after themselves." The resort makes up for this with regular family programming.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: When booking rv sites near Raymond, California, dimensions matter. At High Sierra RV Park, one RVer explains: "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." RVers frequently note similar maneuvering challenges.

Bridge clearance: Access to some campgrounds requires crossing narrow bridges. At McCabe Flat Campground, "There is a narrow bridge before the campgrounds that limits vehicle size. It is not advisable for trailers over 18 feet in length."

Premium site costs: Budget accordingly for upgraded sites. "The premium sites include full hook-ups — water, electric and sewer. We were in site 43," notes a High Sierra RV Park visitor. These premium positions typically command $20-40 more per night than standard sites but provide better access and amenities.
