3. Yosemite Rocky Ridge Road Cabin

26mi from Shaver Lake · 2 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Coarsegold, CA

Our spacious lofted Yosemite cabin has high 18ft ceilings which gives the sense of abundance and space. Relax and unwind on our large outdoor deck with cool valley breezes. Chill time to let go and recharge. We renovated our cabin fully in the summer of 2024, knocking out lots of closed in walls and gutting the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms completely changing a dated 80’s style cabin into a modern contemporary home. The renovation took us 6 months in total to complete, from the time we knocked out our first wall til the last appliance was installed. This is our family’s cabin we love to spend quality time together exploring outside, catching bugs, cooking s’mores on our large deck and stargazing at night! We love to share it with other families.

Weekend Trip to Outdoorsy Yosemite Campground

The amenities were great for campervan experience. They had 240v and 120v outlets with fresh water and waste water systems on each camping site. The site's bathrooms were nice and open 24 hours. The campsite was also walking distance from food and entertainment which was great for ease of logistics. The employees were also very friendly and helpful!

The location is excellent—just about 30 minutes from the South Entrance of Yosemite National Park. We came with our 30ft RV and had a full hookup site, which was very clean and well-maintained. The campground has nice amenities, including clean toilets and a pool area that’s great for children. Check-in was very easy, even though we arrived late—the staff had prepared our documents on the pinned wall, making the process quick and smooth. Overall, a wonderful stay and highly recommended for anyone visiting Yosemite.

The site was good clean. Staff was nice. A black bear did come into camp one night and looked at the trash bins and then took off. I bet they are familiar with the camp site. Everything else was great.

we arrived late after a long drive from Sequoia, but seamless late check-in ..all good with the connections to RV services, excellent on-site showers, clean and tidy, spacious, everything we needed for a 2 night stopover. nice to see people enjoying the communal areas, the pool, firepits, bbqs, nice place close to the lake.

Incredible!

Weekend Trip to Outdoorsy Yosemite Campground

Outdoorsy Yosemite is a wonderful campground, especially for families. It has a very welcoming and well-kept atmosphere with great amenities like a pool and playground, which our kids absolutely loved. It was clean, organized, and had everything you’d need to keep little ones entertained and comfortable. While it may not offer the rugged, off-grid adventure I usually look for in a camping experience, I still really enjoyed our stay. It’s more of a relaxing and easy-going spot — a great place to unwind, recharge, and use as a basecamp for nearby Yosemite exploration. If you’re looking for a campground that balances comfort with nature and is perfect for families, Outdoorsy Yosemite is a solid choice. It was a very nice place to call home for a few days.

Weekend Trip to Outdoorsy Yosemite Campground

This site was very clean! The hosts were the friendliest most helpful hosts I ever encountered at a camp site. One thing to mention… This is an extreme bear watch area. We happened to see a bear walk through the campsite and that was intense but so magical! This site has much to offer with a pool, simple foods, and a huge campfire for all. I will definitely come back and recommend it to my family and friends.

We had an awesome stay at Lakeshore Resort. They just opened for the season on Memorial weekend. We have a class A 30' RV. Our rig fit fine in Site #9. Easy back-in. Road up to the site a bit bumpy so take is slow. Check-in is at the general store, which is huge and has a lot to offer. Lev at the store is very friendly as the rest of the staff managing the resort. Aaron, camp host, is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. You can tell he loves his job. Walking trail from campsite along the creek and down to the lake. Owner is putting a lot of work into the resort. Check out their website to see what the plan is. Looking forward to seeing it complete! Expect some construction, but that didn't deter us from having a relaxing time. Camp bathroom and showers were clean. Saloon and restaurant just opened for the season as well. Friendly staff and yummy food!
