Best RV Parks & Resorts near Tahoe National Forest

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.

Full hookup RV park in downtown Bishop

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.

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.

This location is very clean, close to town with full hook ups. Staff was very friendly! It is right next to a pretty noisy road but I think it's a good stop for the night 👍

We were on our way to Yosemite at night and had to stop because of a winter storm that shut down the whole highway. We ended up checking into Highland RV Park after hours, which was super easy to do!

They have a whole after hours check in system that works great.

Sites are super clean, paved, and extremely level.

Full hookups! 30/50 amp

Staff are friendly and kind!

We woke up to a beautiful 360degree Mountain View!

They have a fish wash station which is a nice touch.

Super clean bathrooms but we couldn’t get the code until the next morning because of checking in after hours (heads up if you’re last minute and need a shower)

Full 5G AT&T service!

Only reason I didn’t 5 star is because I think the price is a little steep at $50 per night especially considering the lack of amenities like a pool or tennis courts or anything like that.

Would definitely stay again in a pinch though!

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.

We are currently spending a few nights at New Shady Rest Campground, and have really enjoyed the spacious sites among the pines. We had spent a few nights at the Mammoth RV Park, but we weren't happy with confined and noisy space. After riding our bikes through New Shady and talking to the friendly camp host, we decided to abandon the RV park and move. So glad we did.

Most of the sites are widely spaced out, so you're not too close to your neighbors. But, if you're in an RV or towing a trailer, pay close attention to the max length or your site. Some of the smaller sites are only suitable for tent camping.

We liked this place so much, we're coming back in August!

This campground was open when convict lake and local rv parks were at maximum capacity. It’s a short drive to near by attractions, and a good base camp to enjoy mammoth lake and near by trails.

Right near June Lake. Very large place with a general store, coin op showers, bathrooms... pretty standard as far as large RV parks go. The amenities were nice and pretty well kept. Quite busy with lots of traffic coming in and out, as it was a busy summer month.

Been camping here for years, very nice and really clean. Nice family owned rv park and tent camping. Make sure if you come since it’s right next to the mountains be prepared for wind and rain, but usually passes pretty quick. About a two hour drive into Yosemite valley and only like 20 mins from Yosemite east entrance.

This was my first experience in an RV park with hookups. Generally we camp in spaced out spots that are a bit more secluded.

I liked this campground from the standpoint of the kind folks running the place and working at the general store. There’s a stocked pond for fishing that is really good for kids. We camped here for the 4th of July with friends and in total our two campsites had 13 people (four kids).

There is a shower available (but be aware it’s a bit of a tight squeeze as it shares space with the toilet.) It’s four quarters for five minutes for the shower. Other bathroom notes: Motion sensor lights, code needed fir the door, no paper towels so be prepared, has hot and cold water in faucets, receptacle for feminine products.

The campsites are close to one another and it felt somewhat like a large parking lot. Our spot was across from the bathrooms and trash. There were not bear boxes on the campsites.

The fire rings are movable which was kind of nice. We were easily able to accommodate our large group.

The creek is lovely and rushes by with the nice sounds of a creek. Be aware that the water is fast and cold. There are not a lot of spots for kids to play so unless they’re older (and maybe even then) you’d want to watch them. We tromped through some “trails” and saw garter snakes, chipmunks, mice, and bats at dusk.

If you need hookups, it’s a good spot. We were a pop up among many larger RVs. We got hit with some rain but it didn’t cause too much mess or mud which was nice.

Great Campground and location between Mammoth and June Lake. Once you drive in Glass Creek Rd, the campground splits in two sections. On the right you will have half the campground spots (25+), both shaded and sunny, near the creek and also out in the open. Cross a small bridge over the creek and you're in the other half of the campground on your left. Same situation, lots of campsites with plenty in sun and the outer ones with more shade. Plenty of RV spots and plenty that work for car-camping or tent camping. We have a 38' RV and there were plenty of options. No water in the campground but you can get as much as you need a mile or two down the road at the rest area along with dumpsters. For RVs: plenty of dump stations around. We used the Mammoth Community Water District dump station ($10 Donation Requested) and it worked great. Plenty of firewood to pick up around most of the sites. Had decent AT&T reception all around the campground. Had a bear visit our site a few times but we scared it away pretty easily. The camp hosts seem on top of the bear activity and are quick to respond to help scare it away. Had regular sheriff patrol the campground as well. No fees just a $10 donation requested that is optional. Lots of ATV and dirt bike activity but we weren't staying around camp during the day (hiking/climbing/swimming) so it didn't bother us. When it's quiet you'll hear traffic from 395 but we weren't bother by it much. Check out Hartley Cg just north of here if you need to get off the beaten path a bit more. Regulars say to come Monday or Tuesday if you want to have a good pick of sites around. We'll be back for sure!

Highlands RV park is pretty cool. They offer many pull through spots and the back-in ones are located along the permitter of the park. A nice green area for your kids or dogs to explore. They even have a small pond out front. The spots are very well maintained, dirt sections and a concrete slab with picnic table. Due to Covid the facilities are closed, i.e. rek room, bathrooms, showers, however their onsite laundry was still available. At one end of the park they offer a fish station for your catch of the day. All in all it was a very well maintained park close to shops and restaurants. It was a little far to go from here to June Lake or Mammoth. We had a great trip, I’d definitely come back here again.

Stopped for one night of a 4 week cross country trip. The staff were friendly and helpful with local information. The sites are full hookups, 30 & 50 amp electric, concrete pads (not entirely level), grass areas and trees. They have clean showers and bathrooms, and cable tv. There is WiFi, but it is very slow. It isn’t strong enough for the number of people trying to use it. After midnight it was better. They also have a “dog area” which is just a sandy area near the office, right in busy US 95, but it’s not fenced in! I would not let my dogs run there. The bathroom/shower code did not work in the evening and there was no one in the office to get it corrected.
