Camp SourBerry (near Yosemite)

1 site · RV40 acres · Oakhurst, CA

Welcome to Camp SourBerry! Here, you can park your home-on-wheels in a private space with a view. You can enjoy the feeling of rural seclusion while within walking distance (~1 mile) from shops and restaurants in Oakhurst. The South Gate to Yosemite National Park is less than a 30-minute drive (~75 minutes drive-time to the Valley floor), and Bass Lake's shores are only 15 minutes away. Local wildlife is abundant. Wild turkeys are a common sighting, especially in the spring and fall, as are squirrels, bears, deer, coyotes, and bobcats, plus all kinds of native birds (hawks, quail, jays, woodpeckers, ravens, vultures, and eagles). We have a small homestead-style farm and so do the neighbors, so you can hear the distant sounds of chickens, turkeys, sheep, goats, and cows. Because the safety of our animals (and yours) is paramount, we do not allow other pets to visit. The parking location is an ease pull-through for passenger vehicles and shorter trailers. People with longer, taller trailers find it easier to pull-in and back out. The best view is on the passenger side of the drive! Whether you want to stay put and enjoy the natural setting or have a base from which to explore world-class attractions, we would love to host your next vacation.

RV camping near Bass Lake guide

Overview

Just 17 miles from the southern entrance to Yosemite National Park, the small community of Bass Lake is a great option for an RV stay, especially for those who didn’t snag a coveted camping spot in the park. The lake is about an hour north of Fresno and offers swimming, fishing, kayaking, water-skiing, and boat rentals, as well as a boat launch if you’re towing your own. The hiking trails of Sierra National Forest are nearby, as is the family-favorite Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad. Around the lake are a couple of RV parks, at least one of which offers full hookups, a pool, and laundry. Campgrounds dot the lakeshore, but just a few allow small RVs only and not usually with hookups. More RV sites can be found along Highway 41. Bass Lake is busiest in the hot, dry summer. Consider spring or fall for a quieter atmosphere before the chilly, wet winter.
