The best luxury RV campgrounds near Sonora, California

Tucked into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, Sonora is an outdoor wonderland. This is California’s Gold Country, and it’s rich in history and natural beauty. In one day, you can hike forest trails, ride a historic steam engine, and paddle high-elevation lakes. Come any time—the mild Winters and hot summers allow year-round camping.

Pitch your tent on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada in the Stanislaus National Forest. At Pinecrest Campground, 200 sites sit within steps of a beach and marina. Fish for rainbow trout in Pinecrest Lake, or hike the kid-friendly lakeside trail. If you’re in the mood for a drive, head toward Sonora Pass for spectacular views.

In the summer, cool off with a swim or boating trip to New Melones Lake. Camp year-round at Tuttletown and Glory Hole recreation areas; both offer RV camping and tent camping. If you prefer to stay dry, try rock climbing or hiking in the hills around the lake. Toward Angels Camp, you can also find RV parks and cabins with creature comforts like Wi-Fi and laundry.

Some of California’s most breathtaking scenery sits within 60 miles of Sonora. At Yosemite National Park, 13 campgrounds sit near waterfalls and granite peaks. To the north, sleep under the giant sequoias at Calaveras Big Trees State Park. Be sure to make reservations in advance, especially during the summer.

All of the amenities he provides were also super clean; we really appreciated the clean bathroom and kitchen area. Highly recommend the tour he provides as well! We ended up booking the hay ride and cow/calf experience and all of their cows were friendly and loved being pet. We’re definitely going to come back again next time!

The RV sites are well laid out, spacious, and flat, next to a lovely pomegranate orchard and near a pleasant river. Barry was extremely friendly and helpful, greeting us when we got there and showing us around the amenities. The boats available for use were great, and the kitchen area provided a place with hot water on demand to do dishes so we didn’t have to heat it up on our stove. My only regret was not bringing fishing gear along; maybe next time, since we will definitely keep this on our list of places to come back to.

What a beautiful property! We had an absolutely lovely time. We were the only ones in the tent camping area so we had the entire place to ourselves and we were able to unplug and truly relax. The kitchen area was perfect for us to wash our dishes, the bathrooms were clean and well lit and my husband especially enjoyed his hot shower under the stars. Groveland is a very cute little town and we enjoyed an afternoon walking around there with our dogs. Robb is wonderful with communication too. We’d definitely stay here again!

Peaceful place to hang out. The kitchen was convenient for cooking at night, the barn hang out for eating and lounging after full days in Yosemite. We stayed 5 nights and drove back and forth to the park. For some that would be too much driving but we liked being out of crowded campsites. No noise and just birds in the morning. Showers were awesome after full days of hiking too.

Headwaters Headquarters- communal inside space for inclement weather or food prep/clean up, sink inside. Info with maps and local wildlife.

From the jump Robb was very responsive and accommodating! Came in for the weekend to hike Half Dome and this was the PERFECT place to stay. Close to the park and close to Groveland, whilst still giving the remote and adventurous feeling that the park has to offer. Property was easy to find and navigate. The showers were fantastically warm and the bathrooms were clean. The communal area is a perfect hangout and the little kitchen/prep area was a huge bonus. It was really great to meet Robb as he has tons of knowledge on area and gave us some great tips on navigating the park and alternate hikes. It would seem that Robb is a bit of local celebrity with his Biologist background and passion for Photography - I highly recommend stopping off at Mountain Sage in Groveland to view/purchase some of his phenomenal prints and grab a coffee. (He also has a published nature book!) All in all, great value, great location and perfect for a weekend at the park! I will definitely be returning!
