Biking

Anasazi Palms

25 RV Sites

Anasazi Palms RV Park in Littlefield, Arizona, offers 25 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 80 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, in the Virgin River Gorge corridor. Spacious sites with mountain views and a clubhouse serve travelers on I-15 between Las Vegas and St. George. Twenty-five back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 80 feet. The 80-foot capacity handles a long coach with a tow comfortably, and the sites are genuinely spacious rather than packed tight — the main reason travelers pick this over a highway lot. Laundry and a clubhouse handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. On-site amenities stay practical, with biking from the property and off-roading nearby. Guests here are moving through or using the park as a base for the surrounding canyon country, and the amenity set reflects that honestly. Littlefield sits in Mohave County in the extreme northwestern corner of Arizona — the Arizona Strip — where the Virgin River Gorge's limestone canyon walls frame I-15 in the most geologically dramatic section of the entire route. The gorge gives the community its canyon-country identity at the gateway between the Nevada desert and the Utah red rock plateau, and the mountain vistas from the sites are the reason to stop rather than push on. The park operates on the I-15 corridor year-round, with winter snowbird migration and spring and fall touring seasons driving the heaviest traffic. Summer heat is considerable in the gorge. Reserve ahead for the shoulder seasons.

Sequoia Resort & RV Park

22 RV Sites, 4 Houses, 1 Apartment

Sequoia Resort & RV Park stretches across 377 acres of Sierra Nevada hillside in Badger, California, sitting at the gateway to both Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in one of the most scenically dramatic corners of the American West. As the closest full-service RV resort to the North Entrance of Kings Canyon, Sequoia Resort is the natural basecamp for exploring two of the most awe-inspiring national parks in the country in a single trip. Thirty-three full hookup RV spaces are designed with privacy walls between sites, providing a degree of separation and intimacy unusual in campground layouts. Each space includes 30 or 50-amp electrical, water, and sewer connections, and ADA-accessible facilities throughout the resort ensure the property welcomes guests of all abilities. Cabin-style vacation rental homes complement the RV sites for groups with mixed lodging preferences. A private lake on the property offers small boat use, and bikes are available for rent — making it easy to explore the resort's expansive acreage without a vehicle. Pets are welcome. The Sierra Nevada foothill setting surrounds Sequoia Resort & RV Park with the sounds and scenery of the mountain forest at every turn — granite formations, canyon oak and pine canopy, and the clean high-altitude air that makes even a simple walk around the grounds feel restorative. The elevation keeps temperatures noticeably cooler than the valley floor below while keeping the national park entrances accessible year-round. Kings Canyon National Park's North Entrance is roughly 35 minutes from the resort, with General Grant Grove — home to the third-largest tree on Earth and one of the most ancient living organisms anywhere on the planet — reachable as an easy morning excursion. Sequoia National Park's famous General Sherman Tree, the world's largest tree by volume, is approximately an hour from camp. The Hume Lake recreation area within Kings Canyon National Forest adds swimming, fishing, and canoeing to the activity roster for guests wanting a water destination closer than the valley floor. Sequoia resort & RV park is accessible year-round, with spring and fall providing the most comfortable temperatures for national park hiking and exploration. Summer is peak season for both parks, and early-morning visits to the most popular sequoia groves are strongly advisable to avoid afternoon crowds. Reservations for peak summer weekends book quickly — secure your site early and plan to arrive with a well-stocked cooler, as the resort's rural mountain position puts the nearest significant town a scenic but meaningful drive away.

Grey Squirrel Resorts

19 Cottages

Grey Squirrel Resort in Fawnskin, California, has welcomed families, couples, and group retreats since the 1950s, bringing more than seven decades of mountain hospitality to a collection of 19 private cabins spread across three wooded acres on the quiet north shore of Big Bear Lake. Tucked in the small mountain community of Fawnskin—across the lake from the busier Big Bear Lake resort corridor—the resort provides an intimate and unhurried alternative to the high-traffic south shore lodging scene, giving guests direct access to San Bernardino County's premier mountain resort while preserving the peaceful forest character that defines the north shore experience. The 19 private cabins accommodate a range of group sizes and comfort preferences, offering more privacy and enclosed space than hotel rooms while maintaining the forest-immersed setting that draws visitors to Big Bear Lake in every season. On-site amenities include a pond, spa, walking trails, and wedding venue capabilities that make the property versatile for romantic retreats, family reunions, and celebration events alongside standard vacation stays. Pet-friendly policies, a general store, and Wi-Fi support extended stays, while the resort's access to golf, hiking, and mountain biking from the property ensures guests can build active itineraries without driving across the lake to the south shore infrastructure. The Fawnskin area's forest setting—ponderosa pine, white fir, and black oak woodland at approximately 7,000 feet elevation in the San Bernardino Mountains—provides a true mountain environment that contrasts sharply with the Southern California coast and desert communities that send the majority of Big Bear's visitors up the mountain. The north shore's relative quiet and the absence of the commercial density found on the south shore give Fawnskin an off-the-beaten-path character that has attracted loyal repeat guests to properties like Grey Squirrel for generations. Big Bear Mountain Resort, accessible via the south shore road around the lake, offers skiing and snowboarding in winter alongside mountain biking and lift-accessed hiking in summer, making the surrounding mountain landscape a legitimate four-season outdoor recreation destination. Big Bear Lake itself provides boating, fishing for trout and bass, kayaking, and paddleboarding from multiple marinas and launch points, and the PCT-adjacent trail system of the San Gorgonio Wilderness to the south provides backcountry hiking access to some of Southern California's highest and most dramatic mountain terrain. The Moonridge Animal Park and the Baldwin Lake Ecological Reserve provide additional nature-focused excursions in the immediate area. Grey Squirrel Resort operates year-round in Big Bear Lake's four-season mountain climate, with winter skiing season from December through March and summer's lake and mountain recreation driving the two peak demand periods. Fall's aspen and black oak color in the surrounding San Bernardino National Forest creates a third visitation surge in October, when the mountain's foliage rivals the more celebrated deciduous displays of the eastern United States. Cabin reservations for winter ski weekends and summer holidays fill months in advance, and the resort's intimate 19-cabin scale means early booking is essential for any stay during Big Bear's peak windows.

Lakeshore Resort

22 RV Sites, 7 Cabins

At the eastern end of Huntington Lake in the Sierra Nevada at 7,000 feet elevation—a mountain reservoir in Sierra National Forest where the John Muir Wilderness begins on the opposite shore and the High Sierra backcountry opens in all directions from the lake's edges—Lakeshore Resort has been receiving campers, anglers, boaters, and High Sierra explorers since the 1920s. The resort's combination of RV sites, cabin rentals, restaurant, saloon, general store, and marina creates the self-contained mountain lake community that the Sierra Nevada's remote elevation campgrounds can rarely sustain, and the high-country landscape of Huntington Lake provides the visual and recreational context that makes the resort worth the drive up Highway 168. This is California mountain camping at its most complete. RV sites with full hookups, 30-amp electric, campfire rings, and picnic tables accommodate rigs up to 40 feet in length—meaningful at a mountain destination where the size restriction would otherwise eliminate many larger rigs from consideration. Cabin rentals provide the fully enclosed alternative for guests who want the mountain lake experience without a camping setup, and the resort's laundry, showers, and bathrooms serve both RV and cabin guests across the property's full occupancy range. The restaurant and saloon provide on-site dining and the evening social gathering space that mountain resort guests across California's elevation campground history have come to associate with Lakeshore specifically—a dining room with the character and history of a century-old Sierra resort. The general store handles provisioning, and the marina with boat docks provides watercraft access, rental boats, and the infrastructure that makes Huntington Lake's 1,500 acres of 7,000-foot elevation water genuinely navigable for guests without their own boats. A walking trail from the campsites along the creek and down to the lake connects the camping area to the water directly. Huntington Lake's high-elevation character provides a natural environment of specific appeal. At 7,000 feet, the lake sits in a landscape dominated by red fir, lodgepole pine, and the granite that defines the Sierra Nevada's geological identity—a combination that produces the cool summer temperatures, afternoon thunderstorm pattern, and crystalline air quality that the Central Valley's summer heat drives visitors upward to seek. Kokanee salmon, brown trout, rainbow trout, and catfish populate the lake, making fishing from the dock, from a rental boat, or from the resort's waterfront among the most reliable high-elevation angling experiences in the central Sierra. The John Muir Wilderness, accessible directly from Huntington Lake's trailheads, provides the High Sierra backcountry experience that the resort's position at the wilderness edge makes possible with zero additional driving. The Kaiser Wilderness, accessible from the north shore, provides a second wilderness area with its own trail system and high-country lakes accessible for day hikes from the resort's elevation base. The combination of resort-level comfort—restaurant, saloon, store, marina—and immediate wilderness access is specific to Huntington Lake's position and is not replicated at most Sierra Nevada campgrounds, which offer one or the other but rarely both. Lakeshore Resort is open from late April through October, weather and snowpack permitting, with the full season running from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The high elevation makes July and August the most reliable months for full-access recreation. Reserve the full hookup site early for summer, bring the fishing rods and the hiking boots, and let the 1920s Huntington Lake resort tradition earn its hundred-year reputation.

Cathedral Palms RV Resort

62 RV Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer, 1 Apartment

Cathedral Palms RV Resort in Cathedral City, California, offers 62 full-hookup RV sites and an apartment with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 55 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, with EV charging on site.

Sixty-two back-in sites run in water-and-electric and deluxe full-hookup categories carrying 30 and 50-amp, sized to 55 feet, with site WiFi. EV charging is available — still uncommon at RV resorts and increasingly decisive for guests towing with an electric vehicle. The Happy Camper travel trailer rental and an apartment serve guests without a rig, with check-in for rental units at 3:00pm. A laundry, propane fills, dump station, RV storage, bike rentals, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a clubhouse, community fire pit, and dog park besides. Pickleball, bocce ball, basketball, billiards, ping pong, and corn hole fill the competitive calendar, with biking from the property, planned activities through the season, and a golf course and national park nearby. Pets are welcome. Cathedral City sits between Palm Springs and Palm Desert in the Coachella Valley, which puts the region's golf courses, spa culture, national park access, and mid-century modern architecture all within easy reach. Winter is decisively the season in the desert. Book well ahead for January through March.

Outdoorsy Yosemite

141 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 10 Tent Sites, 6 Glamping Sites

Outdoorsy Yosemite in Bass Lake, California, offers 141 full-hookup RV sites, four cabins, 10 tent sites, and six glamping sites in the Sierra foothills, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 40 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. Superior back-in, premium pull-through, and standard back-in categories join a pool, clubhouse, boat and kayak rentals, and lake access. One hundred forty-one sites run in standard back-in, superior back-in, and premium pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV, sized to 40 feet, with picnic tables. Note the 40-foot cap before booking a larger rig. Four cabins, 10 tent sites, and six glamping sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. Reservation holders must be at least 18, and guests of all ages are welcome. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with boat rentals, kayak rentals, and bike rentals opening the lake for boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. A clubhouse, game room, billiards, ping pong, basketball, horseshoes, sports courts, walking trails, hiking, mountain biking, a playground, community fire pit, dog park, and on-site dining fill the rest, with strong stargazing and birding. Eighteen miles from Yosemite's South Entrance with Bass Lake's warm water immediately adjacent, this works as both a park basecamp and a lake destination. Summer fills both Yosemite and Bass Lake. Reserve well ahead.

Outdoorsy Yosemite National Park RV + Campsite Packages

5 RV Rental + Campsite Packages

Outdoorsy Yosemite National Park RV Campsite Packages in Bass Lake, California, provides a comprehensively equipped resort camping destination in Madera County's Sierra Nevada foothills, positioned on the shores of Bass Lake approximately 14 miles south of Yosemite National Park's South Gate entrance in a setting where the southern Sierra Nevada's forested mountain landscape delivers natural beauty fully competitive with the national park itself at substantially lower competition for campsites. The resort's full-service infrastructure—cabins, full hookup RV sites, pool, boat rentals, lake access, and a complete activity program—makes it one of the most capable family vacation bases on Yosemite's southern approaches. The resort's amenity scope reflects a self-contained destination designed for multi-night family stays: full hookup RV sites, cabin rentals, an outdoor pool, lake access with boat rentals and kayak rentals, paddle boats, a game room with billiards and ping pong, sports courts with basketball, a dog park, laundry, walking trails, general store, dining, propane fills, RV storage, a community fire pit, a clubhouse, and the stargazing enabled by the Sierra Nevada foothills' relatively dark skies. The combination of Bass Lake's recreational water access and Yosemite's proximity creates a two-resource camping vacation that families consistently cite as among the most productive outdoor experiences in California. Bass Lake is a PG&E hydroelectric reservoir at 3,400 feet elevation in the Sierra Nevada foothills south of Yosemite, known for warm summer water temperatures suitable for swimming and water skiing and a mountain shoreline of ponderosa pine and incense cedar that creates a dramatically scenic backdrop for water recreation. The lake's year-round warm-season accessibility—its lower elevation keeps it reliably swimmable from Memorial Day through Labor Day—distinguishes it from the higher-elevation Yosemite Valley lakes, which are accessible only in summer and often cold even then. Bass Lake's marina services, food and beverage operations, and the developed shoreline create a full lake recreation ecosystem. Yosemite National Park's South Gate, accessed via CA-41 through Wawona, provides entry to the park's southern tier including Mariposa Grove—home to over 500 giant sequoias including the famous Grizzly Giant—and the historic Wawona Hotel district before the road ascends to Yosemite Valley's iconic granite walls, Half Dome, and the Merced River corridor. The Wawona section of the park is considerably less crowded than Yosemite Valley during peak summer season, making it a more accessible introduction to Yosemite's superlative landscapes for guests who want genuine park immersion without the Valley's reservation-constrained entry logistics. Outdoorsy Yosemite operates year-round in Madera County's foothill climate, where the 3,400-foot elevation provides seasonal snow that occasionally closes CA-41 in winter but generally allows spring-through-fall outdoor recreation in conditions more moderate than Yosemite Valley's higher and more exposed position. Summer drives peak demand for both Bass Lake swimming and Yosemite National Park visitation, with the park's timed-entry permit system making early reservation planning essential for guests whose itinerary includes Yosemite Valley exploration. The resort's dining and lake infrastructure make it a genuinely self-contained option for guests who want equal parts mountain lake recreation and national park sightseeing.

Zion White Bison Glamping & RV Resort

On Utah Highway 9 in Virgin, Utah—15 minutes west of Zion National Park's South Entrance in Washington County where the Mojave Desert's red-sandstone canyon country creates the most visually dramatic gateway corridor to one of the most visited national parks in the United States—Zion White Bison Glamping and RV Resort, recognized as one of the top five glamping resorts in the country, offers covered wagons, tipis, cliff dwellings, cabins, and full hookup RV pads—each with a private BBQ grill and fire pit—alongside community pools, pickleball courts, a catch-and-release fishing pond, a white bison sanctuary on the property, and the resort's exclusive shuttle service into Springdale at the Zion South Entrance, creating the Zion-access experience whose resort-quality infrastructure and dramatic canyon setting produce the combination of luxury, wildlife, and national park proximity that no campground alternative within the Zion corridor can replicate. The bison are white. The canyon walls are red. The park is 15 minutes away. Covered wagons, tipis, and cliff dwellings—each with two comfortable queen beds or a single king, a private bath, central heating and cooling, a kitchenette with cookware, microwave, refrigerator, and a two-burner cooktop, and a private BBQ grill and fire pit—provide the distinctive glamping accommodations that have made Zion White Bison a top-five ranked glamping resort in the country. Full hookup RV pads with water, sewer, and electric hookups at every position serve the self-contained traveler with the infrastructure that a serious RV stay requires. Community pools, pickleball courts, and the catch-and-release fishing pond create the on-property recreation that occupies the afternoon hours between the morning Zion hike and the sunset dinner in Springdale. The white bison sanctuary—three white and one brown bison and bison calves that guests can observe up close and learn about in the cultural and spiritual context that the Lakota and other Plains Nations' relationship with the white buffalo provides—creates the signature wildlife encounter that no other Zion-area campground offers. Virgin sits in Washington County on the North Fork of the Virgin River's lower watershed, in the Mojave Desert transition zone where the Colorado Plateau's uplift and the canyon-cutting erosion that carved Zion Canyon create the red-and-white Navajo Sandstone formations that make the Virgin River corridor one of the most geologically spectacular road-accessible landscapes in the American West. The UT-9 corridor from Hurricane to Springdale follows the Virgin River through the Zion-Mount Carmel tunnel's switchbacks and the canyon's narrowing walls to the national park's visitor center in a drive whose scenery rivals the park's interior. Zion National Park's Angels Landing trail, the Narrows slot canyon hike through the Virgin River, and the Emerald Pools trail system provide the defining Zion hiking experiences that the resort's shuttle to the Springdale park-and-ride delivers guests to without the parking challenge that the park's 4.5 million annual visitors create at the South Entrance. Bryce Canyon National Park, 90 miles northeast, and the Grand Canyon's North Rim, 100 miles southeast, provide the multi-park circuit accessible from a single Zion White Bison base camp. Zion White Bison operates year-round in Washington County's high-desert climate, where the spring and fall seasons from March through May and September through November provide the most comfortable Zion hiking temperatures and the thinner crowds that the summer peak's 4-million-visitor load creates. The winter months bring the snow dusting that the canyon's red sandstone makes photographic without the severe cold that higher-elevation Utah campgrounds experience. Reserve your covered wagon, tipi, or RV pad at Zion White Bison and let the white bison sanctuary, the resort shuttle, and the 15-minute drive to Zion National Park's South Entrance make the Virgin River canyon country the southwest adventure your Zion trip has been waiting for.

Indio sits in the geographic center of the Colorado Desert, 23 miles east of Palm Springs, with the Santa Rosa Mountains rising above the valley floor. The Coachella Valley's golf, tennis, and entertainment infrastructure is among the most concentrated in the Southwest. The resort is open all year, but winter is decisively the season — November through April fills with snowbirds. Book well ahead for those months, and expect festival season in April to tighten the whole valley.

Lake Hemet Campgrounds

245 RV Sites, 10 Cabins, 19 Tent Sites, 1 Glamping Site, 3 Onsite RV/Trailers, 1 Park Model

Lake Hemet Campgrounds in Mountain Center, California, offers 248 RV sites, 11 cabin and park model units, 19 tent sites, and a glamping site on a reservoir at roughly 4,340 feet in the San Jacinto Mountains. Sites run full hookup, partial hookup, dry, and lakeview dry, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet, open all year. Two hundred forty-eight sites span full hookup, partial hookup, dry RV, and lakeview dry categories carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The tiering by hookup level lets self-contained rigs take a dry or lakeview dry site at a lower rate. Named rental units — Eagle's Crest, Lakeside, and Trout Pines among them — plus cabins and park models round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, boat storage, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with a gated entrance controlling access. The reservoir is managed for recreational fishing and non-motorized boating, with a marina, boat ramp, and boat and kayak rentals on site. An outdoor pool and splash pad, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, hiking, biking, paddle boarding, and picnicking fill the rest, with a bar on the property and a wedding venue besides. Pets are welcome. Mountain Center sits where the Pacific Crest Trail passes and climbers drive up from Los Angeles and San Diego, on the winding Highway 74 escape from valley heat. The elevation makes this a genuine four-season destination. Summer is peak — reserve ahead.
