RV camping near Shaver Lake

·

In the foothills of Sierra National Forest, Shaver Lake promises RVers a wild ride. Try horseback riding, windsurfing, paddle boarding, water skiing, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, or a water float along the lake's refreshing waters. Anglers can also fish for kokanee salmon, brown trout, rainbow trout, and catfish. On the lakeshore, RV campers may find a smattering of RV campgrounds with close proximity to boat launches, local restaurants, and shops, as well as water and sewer hookups, picnic tables, and laundry facilities. Lake Shaver Hipcamps may provide extra privacy, BBQ grills, and special touches like farm fresh eggs or Host-led lake excursions. During winter, snow enthusiasts love downhill and cross-country skiing in sub-zero temperatures when Shaver Lake is frozen over, meaning it's good news that most lakeside RV parks are open year-round. Away from the lake, RV campers can also spend some time out of town and in the surrounding Sierras, where shade-filled pine forests and towering granite mountaintops await.

Welcome to Camp SourBerry! Here, you can pitch your tent 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 pets off-leash. 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.
