    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Calaveras Big Trees State Park offers four rustic cabins near West Point, though they're located across the highway from the main park. These cabins provide basic accommodations with ceiling fans but no air conditioning, television, or bedding. Each cabin features a king-sized bed at Buffalo Hill, while North Grove Campground cabins include bunk beds. Most cabins contain standard amenities such as picnic tables, fire rings, and bear-proof food storage. Bathroom facilities vary by location, with some offering private restrooms and others providing communal facilities. "The cabins were full of rustic charm, very cozy, and in a great location," noted one visitor who stayed at a lakeside cabin.

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Gold Country Campground Resort and 49er Village RV Resort provide more developed cabin options with electricity and indoor plumbing. Lake Amador Resort offers waterfront cabins with convenient boat access. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited. Pet policies vary significantly between properties, with some welcoming dogs and others prohibiting pets entirely. According to reviews, "The campground has dorms for families/groups (a building with bunk beds and a bathroom) and tent and full-hookup RV sites."

    Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. As one reviewer noted, "No bedding or towels. You bring your own." Kitchen facilities range from simple fire rings with grills to small refrigerators and microwaves in more developed units. Buffalo Hill cabins feature small refrigerators but limited cooking space. On-site camp stores at locations like Gold Country Campground Resort and Lake Amador Resort provide basic provisions, firewood, and ice. Visitors planning extended stays should bring additional coolers, as refrigerator space is typically minimal. Grocery options are limited in the immediate area, so stocking up before arrival is recommended.

      Carson River Resort

      Full Hook Ups Only

      This isn't really a campground, it's a cabin resort that has a few RV spots with hookups. There are no bathrooms, showers or laundry facilities. No fire rings or BBQ grills. It is conveniently located directly across from the Carson River, but you have to cross a smaller stream to reach the river. For what is offered, it's overpriced.

      Tahoe Valley Campground

      Overall an ok experience

      I’ll start by saying this campsite is huge , there’s like 400 sites so you got to keep that in mind when booking . We got a couple of the sites with electricity which were nice . No fire pits included because those are rented additional , lucky we had one from home . Firewood is $10 a bundle at the store so keep that in mind . The campground advertises WiFi but it’s ran from an separate company and service is extremely poor and slow so your better of using your cellphone data . This is a very active bear area with no bear boxes so keep in mind . We saw bears every single night roaming around and eating from the picnic tables . Some small , medium and extra large size . I recommend the tent sites better than the RV sites because they have a nice location and more private . The RV sites are just packed like sardines , some barely fit or stick out a few inches . Restrooms are clean and showers too . Funny detail the shower head is positioned for ADA handicap specs so you got to kneel down or seat to shower . The campground is located on the Main Street so it’s walking distance to stores or restaurants , I would go back but choose a better site on an outside loop more secluded instead of being in the middle of hundreds of rv’s

      Desolation Hotel - Hope Valley

      Great location & amenities

      This is a privately owned Resort with cabins, yurts, campsites, etc close to a super awesome river and with lots of great amenities, including a cafe/store, sauna, trails and a restaurant. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because I didn't love the site itself that we were in especially with a $60 price tag. It was great to be close to the river, but the site was small and on a hill like a lot of them were. There were cheaper sites but I didn't see what those were like. Otherwise, we had fun playing in the water, using the sauna and having access to great amenities before going into more primitive camping. There was a fire ban while we were there, and there is NO SMOKING anywhere on their property. Everyone that worked there was super friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our stay.

      Yosemite Pines RV Resort & Family Lodging

      Good Place for Kids

      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.

      The showers are free and usually clean although on Saturday evening the campground was full and the bathrooms were dirty and out of TP.

      There are tent sites, RV sites and cabins so something for everyone.

      There were A LOT of stray cats on the property which kind of drove our dog crazy. But at least the campground is pet friendly.

      If you plan to go into Yosemite NP, it's a long drive so plan accordingly. Our family really enjoys Rainbow Pools and Yosemite Pine's proximity to Rainbow Pools is part of why we stay here. The kids can jump and swim there and that's all they really want to do anyway so being close to that is key for us. So many of the places in the park where we used to get in the water do not allow swimming anymore.

      Rancho Seco Recreation Area

      All types of fun !

      I love this place because it is about 45 minutes from the house.  There's plenty to do with lots of great sites.  The first time we went, they didn't have any annual passes because they lady was out that day. But the other day, we were able to finally get a season pass.  You can fish, hike, or swim here. The campsites are spacious and you don't feel over crowded if there is a family next to you. It's pet friendly. The store was recently redone and they offer a wide variety of items, from keep sakes to any necessity you may have forgotten ( lighter, logs, clothes shoes, etc... )  There also boat rental that are a fair price, plus you get them for an hour or so. ( You will have to check the prices and availability. ) There's a dog park for the dogs to roam free off the leash, which also has access to water/ beach area for the dogs only.

      American River Resort

      Family of 4 roof top tent camping

      Nice campground - close to river. .5 mile walk to town for shopping/eating. All sites have fire pit and picnic table. Bathrooms clean and private showers. A little pricey for a tent site - 45.00 and 5.00 for the dog but it’s California.

      49er Village

      Convenient to area wineries

      General: This is a HUGE RV park (a Sun Resort) with back-in, pull-through sites, and cabins. We called a day ahead to see if there was room and on a weekday in early May, there was plenty of availability. We even received a Spring Flash Sale (40% off) rate which, although more than we usually spend to camp, was reasonable. As is typical of RV parks, there is a small patch of lawn between sites but virtually no privacy. There are trees throughout the park and although it is located right on the road, only the sites that back up to the road hear road noise. There is a small pond in the center and we saw some ducks. All camping sites have full hook-ups and a picnic table but no fire ring or grill. There is a large laundry room and a café. We were assigned a site at check-in. 

      Site Quality: Pads are paved and level. The back-in sites in the center back up to each other with no divider between them. I saw several large RVs look almost like they were touching! 

      Bathhouse: Two bathhouses each with three stalls, two sinks, and two showers. Although there is a curtain separating the showers from the rest of the bathroom, the bench is outside of the shower stalls, which could be awkward. However, in the time we were there, I never saw a single person in the bathroom(assuming most people use their own bathrooms in their RVs). The shower had good water pressure and hot water.

      Activities: There is a pool, playground, rec center. Shuffleboard, horseshoes, and beach volleyball. It is a half-mile around the perimeter, so I was able to enjoy a short run.

      This is not our usual type of camping experience, but since we met friends at a nearby winery, this worked for us since we did not want to drive far.


    Guide to West Point

    Cabins near West Point, California are located in the Sierra Nevada foothills at elevations ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 feet, creating distinct seasonal camping experiences. Summer temperatures typically reach the mid-80s while winter brings occasional snowfall, especially at higher elevations. Stanislaus National Forest surrounds many of the cabin properties, providing access to ponderosa pine and oak woodland ecosystems.

    What to Do

    Lake activities at Pinecrest Lake: Pinecrest Campground offers excellent water recreation with boat rentals available for fishing. "The lake is amazing and gets a lot of day trippers. You can walk around the lake, fish, rent kayaks or boats, paddleboards etc," notes one visitor to Pinecrest Campground.

    Hiking trails near Buffalo Hill: Several moderate hiking trails connect cabin areas with the surrounding forest. The rustic cabins at Buffalo Hill provide a convenient base for exploring. "This property is so unique! I love the rich history behind it," mentions a visitor who appreciated the historical aspects of the area.

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: Calaveras Big Trees State Park cabins provide access to wildlife viewing areas. "Beautiful site, hiking trails close by, well maintained grounds. Bear came through our camp one night hit the Bear box and walked off," reports a camper who encountered wildlife during their stay.

    What Campers Like

    Sequoia groves: Visitors consistently mention the impressive trees as a highlight. "The experience of seeing the redwoods will live in my heart forever. I drove across the country to see them, & I'd do it again in a second," writes one enthusiastic camper at North Grove Campground.

    Clean facilities: Many cabins and campgrounds maintain good standards. "Very clean, maintained campground. Flush toilets, and showers available (tokens required). Our visit was late fall so not crowded at all," notes a camper who appreciated the well-kept facilities.

    Family-friendly amenities: Gold Country Campground Resort stands out for family activities. "This campground has spacious sites. They have a store that carries most of the essentials. They have clean restrooms. They also have a pool and play area for smaller kids," explains a visitor to Gold Country Campground Resort.

    What You Should Know

    Seasonal considerations: Cabins vary significantly in heating and cooling options. "We took our trailer over to the Indian Grinding Rock State Park. Very few in the parking lot which allowed us to take up a bunch of spots...otherwise there wouldn't have been parking for us," notes a camper who visited during off-season.

    Limited connectivity: Cell reception and internet access can be unreliable. "The only Wi-Fi is at the visitor center and VERY limited cell service, no great loss," mentions one visitor, highlighting the digital disconnection typical of the area.

    Wildlife precautions: Bear activity requires proper food storage. "Bear boxes provided. There's lots of trails to hike here, an extensive ranger station with a Visitor Center, snack bar, and organized talks and activities," reports a camper at Angels Camp Campground and RV.

    Reservation timing: Summer cabins book quickly, especially at popular locations. "Beautiful State Park, well maintained. Will definitely return," writes a reviewer who planned ahead.

    Tips for Camping with Families

    Water play options: Several properties offer swimming or splash areas for children. "Nice family place. Nice Splash pad and pool. Nothing fancy but it works. They also have a mini golf course," shares a visitor describing family amenities at Lake Amador Resort.

    Evening entertainment: Some campgrounds provide organized activities. "The kids really love the Amphitheatre where they play pretty good family friendly movies," notes a family who enjoyed structured evening entertainment.

    Safety considerations: Sites vary in proximity to water and road traffic. "Little traffic so our kids could ride their bikes with no worries. Definitely worth coming back for the price," mentions a parent who found a safe environment for children.

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling requirements: Terrain varies significantly between properties. "Pads are paved and level. The back-in sites in the center back up to each other with no divider between them," explains an RV camper describing the layout at 49er Village RV Resort.

    Hookup limitations: Water and electrical connections aren't universal. "On their website it did state there was water hookups unfortunately there was not," notes a traveler who experienced a discrepancy in advertised amenities.

    Dump station locations: Not all cabin sites provide full sewer hookups. "Park does have a dump station and is included in the space rent," mentions a camper who appreciated the included service.
