RV camping in Yosemite

Name: Yosemite
Address: Camping
Rating: 4.657

RV camping is one of the best ways to enjoy Yosemite National Park. The valley floor’s three primary campgrounds—North Pines, Upper Pines, and Lower Pines—all have pet-friendly RV sites with picnic tables, fire rings, bear storage lockers, restrooms, and dump station access. (Upper Pines has a year-round dump station, while Wawona and Tuolumne Meadows campgrounds have seasonal dump stations in summer.) From there, you can leave your rig parked and use the free Yosemite Valley Shuttle System to explore the valley. No Yosemite campgrounds have electric hookups, however—if you need amenities like full hookups or wifi, you’ll want to stay outside the park at an RV park or private site near towns like El Portal and Groveland (outside the western entrance) or Lee Vining (outside the eastern entrance).

CA · 32 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

Bridgeport Reservoir is a lake at the lower end of Bridgeport Valley in Mono County, California. Its earth-filled dam was constructed in 1923 by the Walker River Irrigation District, along the East Walker River. The campground and marina was built I-don't-know-how-long ago, but it sure is nice! About Us: Welcome to Bridgeport Reservoir Marina and Campground. Join us for the classic camping and fishing experience with unique views of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Within the Toiyabe National Forest, Bridgeport Reservoir Marina and Campground is conveniently located near two distinct hot spring areas. A true angler's paradise, the Reservoir has excellent trout fishing from spring through fall and is close by to multiple rivers for incredible fly fishing. A 35 minute drive on highway 120 will take you to the Tioga Pass Gate of Yosemite National Park. This gate is a great start to several different areas inside of the park that you may want to visit beyond that gate. Off-road enthusiasts would not have enough time in one visit to explore all of the 4x4 trails, abandoned mines, and sites in the area as well as the famous trail that brings you right to the Bodie Ghost Town. Climate and Ecosystem: At 6,400 feet (1,950 meters), this high desert climate has little to moderate tree coverage and gets hot during the days and cool at night. The conditions are much like Joshua Tree National Park or Alabama Hills camping area. During your visit, you will notice many flying insects that resemble mosquitos. These Chironomid are harmless and do not bite. On the contrary, the mosquito presence is very minimal. Swimming in the lake is possible usually between April to July.

Bridgeport, CA · 32 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

We're a family owned RV Park & Campground located on the shores of Bridgeport Reservoir. Together with our crew, we're excited to welcome you into our newly adopted home. We believe in campfires, starry nights, good laughs, exploration, a deep sleep and an early rise. The mountains are a place to get back to basics, a place to explore, to breathe. So turn off your phone and turn on your senses. It’s important to us that our guests don’t feel they are renting a tent/RV site or a camper as much as they’re immersing themselves into the outdoor experience. You may just want to sit outside and read for days, enjoy campfires and eat s'mores. For more adventurous, there's a full slate of self-guided recreational activities, such as hiking, kayaking, fishing, ATVing, rock climbing, biking, natural water slides, stand up paddle boards, bird watching, available in the area. We do have modern conveniences such as wifi internet; however, we encourage our guests to “unplug” and immerse in the slow paced life instead. At Paradise Shores, we believe in protecting people, animals and the planet. We make sure that the majority of products we use at our camp is recycled, composted, or re-used. We prefer to use products that are produced in a sustainable way and avoid those that aren't. We are continuously reducing the amount of waste we generate and actively promote recycling of aluminum, plastic, glass, and cardboard. We pack our own recycling and haul it to the nearest recycling facility which is an hour away. We co-opt the drive with other activities to reduce waste. We don’t use individually packaged toiletries or one-use products. We use plant and planet friendly detergent. We're based in a desert. We share our precious water with the entire planet. With only 326 million cubic miles of water on the earth, the decreasing amounts of access to quality fresh water is alarming to us. We monitor how we use water in our day-to-day activities and are constantly working on ways to reduce our consumption of fresh-water resources. We hope you can help us maintain this greener camping! We hope Paradise Shores Camp becomes your home as it is ours. It’s located in one of the most spectacular areas in the world. We’re surrounded on three sides by the high Sierra Nevada Mountains. Yosemite National Park, Tuolumne Meadows, Mono Lake, June Lake, Virginia Lakes, and Twin Lakes, as well as the historic gold-mining town of Bodie, CA are all within a short drive from our place. We're proud to know this area intimately and are excited to share the secret spots with you. The excellent hiking/running trails including the Pacific Crest Trail, thousands of miles of ATV, dirt bike and mountain bike trails are accessible right from our camp or within a short drive from here. The surrounding terrain offers endless activities and unbelievable scenery in remote wilderness settings. Pet Policy All our RV & Tent sites are pet friendly and we allow up to two dogs per reservation for a small fee. We can also accommodate up to two four-legged campers in our pet-friendly Baja or Tatra trailers for a small fee, we ask that they stay off the furniture (beds, sofas etc.) and are not left in the rental unattended. We love dogs, but sadly won’t be able to accommodate heavily shedding pets that aren’t house trained. Additionally, our insurance will not allow "aggressive breeds" that include any mix of: Pit Bull, Rottweiler, Doberman, German Sheppard. Please pick up after your pup and use a leash when at the camp. Thank you in advance for your consideration and help in keeping our camp a mellow and enjoyable place for everyone.

Welcome to Your Basecamp for Yosemite Adventure 🌲⛰ Just 15–20 minutes from the entrance of Yosemite National Park and about an hour from the Yosemite Valley floor, our camp offers the perfect location to recharge after exploring one of the most iconic natural landscapes on Earth. We’re also about 1.5 hours from the high-country beauty of Tuolumne Meadows, making this a great launchpad for day trips in every direction. Perched in the scenic Sierra foothills, our dry camping sites are celebrated for breathtaking panoramic views, open skies, and unforgettable sunrises and starry nights. It’s an ideal place to unwind, reconnect, and experience the outdoors in its raw beauty — without giving up the comfort of flushing toilets and hot, on-demand showers. Most of our sites are best suited for those who plan to explore during the day and return in the evening, as they receive full sun and have limited shade throughout the midday hours (during the summer months). For those looking to hang around camp during the day, we recommend bringing a shade canopy or pop-up to make your stay more comfortable. Whether you’re here for epic hikes, rock climbs, or peaceful views, our camp is a restful and rustic homebase nestled close to the wonders of Yosemite.

Granite Ridge was the perfect overnight stay for us, going from California coast to Yosemite mountains. The space was ample, electrical boxes are new and lighted. There was area lighting to help get settled and it was nicely turned off around 10pm for comfortable sleeping. It was quiet, yet not far from Oakhurst for provisioning. We would certainly stay there again when traveling that route.

Great camp site, large trees all over the play. Kids enjoyed the playground. Was very close to town and about an hour from Yosemite. We will be back for sure.

3 nights at Red Tail Ranch at Yosemite

Our RV spot at Red Tail was the perfect landing location for our Yosemite adventure. Just a short drive into the park, awesome outdoor showers, well water and nature trails on the land. We had full hook ups and had everything we needed during our stay. Jackrabbits, mule deer were sighted on our walks through the property.

This is a very nice, peaceful place, and the location is convenient. The sites are a good size and a lot of care has gone into the planning of this camp spot. We really enjoyed our stay.

Super clean, friendly roadside RV Park. We only stayed one night, it was the perfect outpost to see the sites in the area.

Definitely one of the best RV campsites we have been to! Amenities galore and loved every second of it! From using the clubhouse to laundry to clean showers everything was perfect. Would stay here again and hope to in the future!

3 nights at Yosemite Colfax Spring

The campsite was easy to back into with plenty of space to maneuver. We came loaded with water, but there is a spigot and power hookup easily accessible. Nice little picnic table made for a beautiful view while eating dinner and having our morning coffee. If your hookups are on the passenger side of you camper, you may want to bring a power extension and an extra length of waterhose if you're using it, it was an exact reach for our standard size power cord. Very easy drive into Yosemite, 10 minutes from the gate. There's also a beautiful watering hole about 500 feet up the road, day use for $10 for a nice shaded area called "Rainbow Pool". Showers and bathrooms across the road were clean and water was hot for showers. Will definitely stay here again for our next trip into Yosemite, or visiting the cute town of Groveland.

View from site 24 the day there was no one next to us.

6 nights at Paradise Shores Camp

This was our second time at Paradise Shores and it's one of my favorite places I have stayed. It is quiet, clean, the staff is so friendly and helpful. We stayed in RV space 24 - the spot is straight across from the water, making it so easy to take my kayak out or walk over to the water with my coffee in the morning. We will definitely be back again next year.

1 night at Willow Springs Resort

After rerouting our trip due to extreme heat in the southwest, we found a spot at Willow Springs for two nights. Located on the east side of Yosemite, the location is a great launch point to tour the park. We also visited Twin Lakes and were impressed with the natural beauty and lack of crowds. Site 21 is nice, however we switched to spot 27 which has good shade and multiple parking options (we parked on the concrete pad). Friendly and helpful staff. We enjoyed meeting other guests at the campfire. Highly recommended!

5 nights at Willow Springs Resort

The resort has everything you need for an enjoyable time in the high Sierras. We stayed 5 nights and were able to do so many activities that were close by. The hosts were very friendly and had a community fire every night that was complete with s’mores! We look forward to returning.

Weekend Trip to Granite Ridge RV Park and Hotel

The place was really cute and has lots of potential. If you’re in the upper lot, it may be hard for some rigs to access but I love the overlook up there. We had the whole property to ourselves, which we loved. The concrete slab was so nice to have and we loved the picnic table to sit at. Only complaint was the ants but I believe they were just looking for water. Otherwise, the property is well kept, all amenities worked, it feels private and secluded right outside town, and dim lights at night were nice. We’d definitely stay again if we were in the area!

Weekend Trip to Red Tail Ranch at Yosemite

Nice location if visiting Yosemite or just getting away. Bathroom and shower are great, property is maintained, peaceful and has hiking trails. The doe's and baby fawns was a nice treat. The night fills up the sky with so many stars ! Visit Groveland about 15-20 min for some restaurants or groceries. For coffee visit up Mountain Sage Coffee and while you're at it check out Robb's photography and book.
