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.

ScoutThis 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.
TravelerI’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
ScoutClean and best play to stay with beach access, cabins, tents sites and rv sites. Tent site can fit 2 or more tents with fire pit and picnic table. Restroom with shower and warm water.
GuideThis 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.
GuideWith 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.
GuideI 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.
TravelerNice 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.

LegendGeneral: 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.

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.

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.
