Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes

Went April of 2025, Used my free Thousand trails membership and it was okay the site are a little close together but the facility was GRADE A!! River was great, and plenty of hiking to keep me busy and the Yosemite park was very close, summer time looks like it would be an absoulute Sh!t show, and never want to see that. Cut old towen nearby and a over priced resort as well.

Not alot of room between campsites, literally on top of each other. Bathrooms are late but not kept up. Men’s didn’t have one toilet stall working (there are only 2) and women’s one sink was out of order. It does have hook ups so that’s a plus. Neat a river and a big lodge. This is probably ok for most people. We prefer a little space between campsites and there’s zero here.

We ended up on the “outside” of the spots in the trees. But, we did not have anyone in either side of us. Huge spot. It’s pretty here. No nearby grocery so have what you need. The Yosemite village store has quite a selection but it is an hour away. Easy access to the park. No cell service. Have to drive about 4 miles to west to get signal. Sporadic signal in the park. WiFi is subscription at sites. It was $14.95 fir a weak. Very intermittent.

The bathrooms and showers are clean. The sites are a little tight. My Wi-Fi was Starlink so I don’t know how the camp Wi-Fi was.

Close to Yosemite. Beautiful river running through the campground. There is no cell service

Typical small sites, narrow roads. But worst of all lousy wireless and no cell service . Saving grace it's in a beautiful area.

This place itself is just one star worth. But the near proximity to Yosemite is good. Sites are cramped, toilets and showers were unhygienic. Was the most expensive camping we had with the worst service and accommodation.

Huge but peaceful camping 15 mins from the entrance and 45 mins from the Yosemite visitor center. General store equipped in nicer gifts than the visitor center. First come first served, but after a check in you can reserve your site for when you are leaving. We didn’t bother looking for a place by the river as it was already packed, but found a nice spot in the third row. Spotted a skunk twice:) Bathrooms are rarely cleaned - three nights in there were still dirty. WiFi poor and limited to the front desk and laundry room. For this price would’ve been nice for it to work throughout the whole place though. Coin machine in laundry room out of order, you can exchange money at the front desk.

We absolutely loved our monthly stay at Yosemite Lakes TT. We arrived early April and where the first ones to take a spot by the river - basically on our own for a week or so before others started trickling in. Towards the end of April the weekends were packed and buzzing but as soon as Monday's came around it was quite again. We ended up moving spots to have more space and better Starlink reception. Great activities at the lodge, clean and friendly and super close to the NP. We are in a 45 ft toy hauler and taking 120 up here was an ok drive. Would definitely come back again!

The sites were large and the scenery beautiful. It was the first full hookup campground outside the park, so pretty convenient. The road going in was washed out—the alternate route was extremely steep, but we managed with our 5 Cylinder motorhome. It is first come, first serve, so we chose a quiet place and were happy with it. No privacy between sites, and many were not functional due to sewer issues; I assume, due to the same storm that washed the road out. The shower heads were broken in one of the shower houses, both men’s and women’s. The other showers in our section worked great. Toilets and sinks were very clean. Overall, a good place.

Perfect Campground for a night outside Yosemite Valley!

The Park is scenic and beautiful and would be perfect for families. However at $113/night it is disappointing that it was a gravel site, especially in the wet! Showers were fantastic, toilets do need fixing. Pool/Office and play area is a long walk but up the hill as sites are a long distance away, for that reason Laundry needs a change machine as office had shut by 2pm and that was the only way of getting change to use the facility. Overall a good park but expect premium $$$

Nice, but not many options in terms of activities.

Great site lots of room for tent and great view

This has been the best Thousand Trails campground that we have been to. Plenty of outdoor activities at the campgrounds. Hiking trails, fishing, bike rides, spots next to the river. There is no cell phone reception and the paid wifi is terrible so it is best not to purchase it.

There are only a handful of 50amp spots and people move to them quickly after someone leaves lots of 30amp though so you might want to bring an adapter. Lots of trees especially along the river ( creek) fairly quiet even though it's a family atmosphere with lots of kids I think they get worn-out playing in the water. Would stay again reel close to yosemite entrance

The campground here is very nice the 1000 trails employees and personnel are super helpful. Do not let your garmin RV 890 talk you into coming down highway 49. Hwy 49 has between 6 and 13% grades, and something like 300+ hairpin curves.we have a f350 6.7l dually and pull a 41' Montana 384br

Huge sites! Each sits is spread out so you’re not on top to f each other. Check in was a breeze, very friendly and informative. Very quiet and beautiful. Hated to leave. Kids were riding their bikes, there was a nice playground. Close to a small creek. Just loved this little gem.

Super nice I recommend

Very active park. A little dusty and no wi-fi.

Was a bit crowded but was ok for our purposes of a stay over. Bathrooms were nice but not well maintained

Full hook ups, good shade, good access to water, but pretty crowded. It’s not the place to go if you want to get out into the wild.

We were tent camping and were nervous about not having a reservation around Yosemite so we reserved a site here for a tent site by the river. The price was high but were willing to pay for a confirmed place to stay during June 2021. When we got there they were under major construction and told us the area by the river was closed. They put us in the area on the hill. The sites were small and full of dirt. We got more dirty there than several of the more remote places we stayed before and after our stay there. The campground was decent though, and everyone we spoke with was nice. Three stars was value for the price. We found several first-come first served campgrounds around there for much less (of course they only had vault toilets).

I couldn’t believe the short drive to the Yosemite entrance. It took 5-10 min to get there and from there about 30-45 to get to the valley. The person checking us in was very nice and genuine. The bathrooms were clean and the showers were available!! Beautiful grounds. Was able to get WiFi at the laundry mat.

Beautiful campground with even more amazing staff. It is First come first serve (after a reservation) so get there early. We lucked out with a pretty big and shaded riverfront spot (site 73) and could not have been happier. Full hook up, VERY well maintained facilities and again the staff are over and above helpful.

It’s about 45 minutes to drive to the valley or Hetch Hetchy in Yosemite but the drive is beautiful. Plus a short drive to Rainbow Pool and Cherry Lake if you want to avoid park crowds. ( we stayed weekday so we didn’t experience traffic or crowds in Yosemite but I’m sure it can get crowded. Would 100% stay here again.

Oh there is no cell service and the “pay WIFI” did not work for us...but there is complimentary WiFi at the laundry to check in on things that works just fine

It was so nice a quiet, the hosts were all very helpful. It snowed on us, which we were actually happy about. Definitely a new winter favorite, we will be back!

This campground is the most convenient location when visiting Yosemite National Park. It snowed while we were there and the giant trees looked beautiful. Only one out of the two bathrooms was in service. The WiFi service was non existent unless you sat in the laundry room Near the welcome center. About a mile from the campground itself there is a camp store that had anything you may have forgotten and great souvenirs. There’s a playground, but no dog park.
