16 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Wishon Village RV Resort offers full hookup campsites with gravel pads that can accommodate RVs up to 43 feet in length. The resort sits at 6,800 feet elevation with 50-amp electrical service available at select sites. "All sites are gravel and have full hook ups. Some sites have 50 amp service but it will rarely be needed because of the elevation," noted one visitor who recently stayed with a group of Class A motorhomes. High Sierra RV Park in Oakhurst provides big rig access approximately 25 miles southwest of Wishon, featuring water, electric, and sewer connections. Bass Lake RV Resort maintains 170 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp service options, though the campground can become crowded during peak summer months.
Navigating to Wishon requires preparation as mountain roads become narrow and winding past Shaver Lake. A review mentioned "the drive to Wishon starts with a long climb to Shaver Lake. Past Shaver Lake the road becomes windy for the remainder of the drive. Expect at least a 40+ minute drive from the Shaver lake turn off." Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with limited or no connectivity at higher elevations. Most RV parks near Wishon operate seasonally between May and September due to winter weather conditions at higher elevations. Dump stations are available at Camp Edison and several RV parks along Highway 41, though many mountain sites recommend arriving with empty holding tanks and full freshwater. Several parks implement bear-aware policies requiring proper food storage.

TravelerBeautiful spot on the side of Bass Lake. Goat Mtn trail can be accessed right from the campground. Friendly camp host. There are definitely bears, raccoons and lots of ticks - we saw all of them. We expect that when camping in the woods but some might not. Food can’t be left out at all.
GuideThe campground is very accessible and therefore can feel busy at times (visited in October). It has flushable toilets and the general store is less than 10 min away by car. The campsites are rather close to each other, so don’t expect a lot of privacy. Our site (88C) was right in front of the restrooms, which have floodlights on all night and would not recommend. Overall, it’s a pretty good campground!
TravelerThe campground is going to be starting to do their cleanup of the over growth to make campsites better. But it is a gorgeous place to camp. Veterans free, seniors get discounts and regular camping is very reasonable. Fishing in the river. Day use side and campground side. Camp host is awesome. I've been several times and we love it. Great telephone reception, potable water spigots and restrooms (either portable outhouse or regular flush bathroom). 👍
GuideLoads of space! Not many people here in October. Park lot had two trailers and the trail to the right is wide open with numerous pullouts. Lots of great trails around for the dogs.
GuideWe loved our visit here so much we extended an extra week. The community welcomed us with open arms to participate in all their daily activities. Chris was especially helpful when we needed to arrive e early due to an issue at the park we were at. The site she gave us was very nice with papers for a patio and beautiful landscaping. We were able to watch the birds(many varieties) landing on our gutters for water from our couch. The only two things that were a little less than perfect was the road noise from 41 behind us and the water had some brown in it that filled our filter so have a spare on hand. There is a business nearby that allows you to ship items to for pickup. Trip into Yosemite via Oakhurst was about an hour (due to winding roads).
GuideThis is actually a really nice free dispersed camping site. Once you get to the Goat Meadows sign if you go left you will find a large parking lot with bathrooms. There were probably ten rigs or so jst camping up on the parking lot. If you go right down the hill you will find multiple dispersed camping sites. They are a little obscure, but some have nice fire rings that let you know it’s a site. They are very well spaced so even when you have neighbors you will hardly see or hear them. At the top of the hill where you go left or right was a camp host looking site but not sure if it is actually, but there was a camper there with a bumper pull trailer who uses a very loud shop type cheap generator that you can literally hear all over the area. Luckily, he turned it off about 10pm but started it up around 8am. If it weren’t for him probably would have given this site five stars. Also, T-Mobile and ATT both had zero cell service our phones were both on SOS but that really wasn’t a problem for us.
RangerNot even sure i found the exact place. Go through a little neighborhood an come to a gravel road. Found a little turn around an spent the night. Didnt see anyone. Cell coverage enough to get texts.
TravelerBeautiful. Would definitely come back.
GuideIt was freezing when we went! The camp host was so nice and welcoming. The site was pretty close to the noisy highway.

When tent camping, you're under beautiful trees which I love!" reports a visitor at Mammoth Mountain RV Park.
Prepare for tight sites: Many RV parks have limited spacing between sites. A camper at Riverbend RV Park mentioned, "Sites are kind of narrow but are deep. Felt bad that our hooks up were in front of our neighbors door but this could be avoided based on how far back you pull in."
