Not bad
Easy to access, sites are a little close together, but the drive is scenic and there’s lots of good stuff to go do close by.

GuideLower Pines Campground — Yosemite National Park
Beautiful Yosemite
We camped in our tiny towable Meerkat camper. Our spot was right next to the bathroom (flush toilets but there are not any showers), site 64. The view is of 1/2 dome and there is a swimming hole near the site. Although the sites are close together, they are arranged nicely with a large picnic table and fire pit and large bear box at each at each site. There were group sites and tent sites. The camp is a stop on the bus route and it is in walking distance of Curry Village where there are restaurants and groceries available. The site puts you close to most of the things you want to see at Yosemite.

Quiet and close to Yosemite
The spots are close but not too close. There's a nice creek at the end. Place is quiet and close to Yosemite. Decent prices.

Five stars Monday through Thursday, three stars for the weekend
If you’re looking for a great camping experience, I highly recommend this campground—five stars from Monday through Thursday, but be cautious about the weekend, where it drops to three stars. I love small, rustic campgrounds, and this one strikes a perfect balance; it’s not too small and not too large. The camp manager does an outstanding job keeping the bathrooms clean and the campsites well-maintained. I arrived on Monday, the 26th, and stayed through Thursday, and it was an absolute dream—quiet and peaceful. Most campers were seasoned anglers, day hikers, or backpackers. This place is for those who cherish authentic camping during the week, seeking solitude and a chance to recharge. Isn’t that the essence of camping? However, my weekend experience in a different campsite was a major letdown. It was overrun with weekend warriors who disregarded camping etiquette—loud and rowdy. Many of them hiked to the lake, and at one point, I thought a UFO had landed in the campground, only to discover it was just city campers with string lights everywhere. A few tips: the photos online can be quite misleading, so choose wisely when booking. In my view, there are about ten really nice campsites, but some are much better than others. And unless you like a boisterous scene, I wouldn’t recommend camping on the weekends. I enjoy country music, but I prefer to keep it low-key after 10 PM. I would certainly come back again—but only on weekdays!

Lodgepole Campground — Sequoia National Park
Lodgepole camp ground
Great area, has bathrooms & water, near by is a convenient store with a laundry mat & showers and the water is warm but it takes a few quarters the mini mart has all types of food and gifts can’t go wrong with the area, a lot of hikes and places to explore near by as well as a transit system to take you through the park

Our camp spot was great exactly as pictured, quiet and peaceful. Bathhouse and laundry room filthy and you had to pay to take a shower like a car wash. Just saying if you’re going to charge people to take a shower you could at least clean it. As much as they charge per night shouldn’t be charging anyways . But the spot was nice.

Dinkey Creek
Secluded but Convenient
We had a great three night, four day trip. The site we stayed at was more secluded than most sites at the campground. It was great weather and also convenient to water play access.

Ok for one night
We stayed a week here, at first it was good, nice enough place. Our spot was a lot of sand. The bathrooms were full of cobwebs and spiders. The website looks promising, offering a pool, jacuzzi and restaurant. There is no restaurant, the pool doesnt get covered so its filthy, and the "jacuzzi" was filled with algae.
We came on a friday night, the quiet time is not enforced. The river was nice, however the entire length of it was taken up by boats. We hardly found a spot to swim in. We were located in site 10, at the very end in a cul de sac type lay out. Its a gated park so you need a code to enter. We locked our bikes up every single night and the one and only night we forgot, 2 out of our 4 bikes got stolen (mine and my partners, the kids were left) We asked for the surveillance as our site was in direct view of the camera and the office had told us their cameras all of a sudden stopped working around midnight but were working again that morning. Such a strange coincidence! They didnt seem apologetic. We had permanent residence come to talk to us and said they've never had theft issues, if you looked around most people had their personal belongings out every night. The place was very suspicious, I'd check out other options but also if staying a quick night it would be ok. Its right off the highway and really easy to get back on the road. We found a little lizard, and little frogs. However there is cockroaches running everywhere.
The people we met there, and the residents were so awesome, which is why it got 2 stars. The staff however, not so much.
Do not leave belongings unattended!!

June Lake RV Park
the location is good
June lake is gorgeous and the town is a true mountain town. It is much quieter than mammoth, and everything is much easier to access. This campground is within walking distance of everything you need. Boat rentals, fishing, hiking trails, general store, brewery, ice cream shop, and great cycling routes. Customer service was absolutely top notch, some of the friendliest camp hosts we’ve ever come across. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly and helpful, made the experience even better. The campground itself is pretty lackluster, kind of felt like parking in a field. We were very close to our neighbors, spots are tight, and no great views.
Guide to Shaver Lake
Cabins near Shaver Lake, California provide accommodations at elevations ranging from 3,500 to 6,800 feet in the Sierra National Forest. Temperatures vary significantly by season, with summer daytime highs averaging 75-85°F and winter lows frequently dropping below freezing. Cabin rental availability changes seasonally, with some facilities closing completely during winter months due to road access limitations and snowfall.
What to do
Swimming spots and creeks: Dinkey Creek Campground features multiple swimming areas within walking distance. According to Jeffrey H., "This camp grounds is clean an well maintained. This is our new favorite place." The creek provides relief during summer heat with several shallow pools suitable for wading.
Fishing opportunities: Wishon Village RV Resort offers proximity to both Wishon and Courtright Reservoirs. As one visitor noted, "Rainbow and German Browns can be caught." Wishon Reservoir sits at 6,600 feet elevation while Courtright is higher at 8,200 feet and typically opens later in the season.
Hot springs access: The thermal pools near Mono Hot Springs range from lukewarm to very hot, with several natural pools across the hillside. A camper explained, "There are a dozen hot springs and mud baths peppered around a couple acres on the south side of a very pretty, clear, cold stream."
What campers like
Elevation and climate benefits: The higher elevation cabin rentals provide natural cooling during summer months. One camper at Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort mentioned, "At approximately 3500 ft elevation. Cool summer nights near Bass Lake Recreational area so fishing and boating are a main attraction."
Cabin options for non-campers: The Forks Resort offers cabin accommodations without requiring camping equipment. A visitor simply stated, "Great food clean cabins," making it suitable for those who want outdoor access without traditional camping requirements.
Proximity to water features: Many cabins sit near lakes, rivers, or creeks for easy water access. A Dinkey Creek visitor wrote, "I grew up going to Dinkey Creek and to the Girl Scout Camp nearby. This campground is remote and secluded there are good swimming holes, fly fishing and really beautiful area."
What you should know
Road access challenges: Some cabin locations require difficult drives on narrow mountain roads. Regarding High Sierra RV Park, a visitor warned, "We have 29 foot travel trailer and we reserved a premium pull through spot. Although we could pull through the spaces were very tight."
Seasonal insect issues: Yellow jackets and other stinging insects can be problematic during summer months. One Dinkey Creek visitor reported, "The other thing I have to mention - the yellow jackets. You would be sitting down trying to read and a few would fly around your head or land on your hands."
Fire impacts: Several cabin rental areas have experienced fire damage in recent years. A camper noted about Fish Creek, "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."
Tips for camping with families
Creek exploration for kids: The shallow creeks near many cabin areas provide safe water play options. A visitor to High Sierra RV Park shared, "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."
On-site amenities for children: Yosemite RV Resort offers family-friendly features beyond basic cabin facilities. A camper mentioned, "The resort has a great pool and playground for the kids. We stayed here 3 nights not could've stayed here a week easy."
Cabin selection for family size: When booking cabins for families, space requirements vary significantly between properties. One visitor to Outdoorsy Yosemite noted, "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."
Tips from RVers
Level sites for larger rigs: Some cabin and RV sites present leveling challenges. A visitor to Wishon Village RV Resort commented, "We have a 35 foot 5th wheel and the spots we like here are 37, 50-52, 38-41. We haven't stayed in any other sites so I'm not sure how they are for bigger trailers."
Connectivity limitations: Cell service and internet access vary greatly between cabin locations. One camper noted about Wishon Village, "There is no signal unless you buy the wifi internet pkg. I can't remember the price but around $15 for 3 days I think."
Resort vs. primitive cabins: Cabin facilities range from rustic to full-service across the region. A visitor to Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort explained, "Many sites to camp at but books up well in advance. Sites were fairly clean where we stayed but a trek to the water."
