Lemon Cove Village RV Park

47 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites

Lemon Cove Village RV Park in California offers 47 RV sites and 10 tent sites in the Sierra foothills, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet, open all year. A Van Life Parking category and a water-only tier join full-hookup and water-and-electric pull-throughs, with an outdoor pool, clubhouse, and general store. Forty-seven sites span pull-thru 30-amp, pull-thru 30/50-amp, water-and-electric 30-amp, water only, and Van Life Parking categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet. The Van Life and water-only tiers are genuinely uncommon and right-size for smaller rigs rather than making them pay for space they cannot use. One billing note: rigs 37 feet or longer, or with two or more air conditioners or other high-draw appliances, may be subject to a $10 per night electrical surcharge. Ten tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, RV storage, boat storage, and recycling handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a clubhouse, sports courts, volleyball, horseshoes, gem mining, and a dog park filling the rest. Boating and a river are nearby, and the property operates as a wedding venue. Lemon Cove is the most convenient RV gateway to Sequoia and Kings Canyon, on the CA-198 approach along the Kaweah River in Tulare County. Summer fills the parks. Reserve well ahead.

Camp Ikigai Animal Sanctuaruy 501c3

20 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 100 Tent Sites, 1 Glamping Site, 1 Yurt

Camp Ikigai Animal Sanctuary in Yokuts Valley, CA, offers 20 RV sites, 3 cabins, 100 tent sites, and 2 glamping sites and yurts, with site-delivered WiFi and a barbecue at each site. Sites are back-ins and the camp is rated big rig friendly, but understand what you're booking: this is an off-grid property, so confirm hookups, amp service, and maximum rig length directly with the sanctuary before you arrive, and plan to be self-sufficient. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a gated entrance are on site. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, walking trails, hiking, swimming, picnicking, birding, and genuinely dark Sierra foothill sky for stargazing fill the grounds. What makes this different from any other property in the portfolio is the sanctuary itself: Camp Ikigai is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit farm sanctuary spread across 72 off-grid acres, where horses, sheep, dogs, and cats roam freely and guests stay among them. Yokuts Valley sits in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Fresno County, with a state park, a national park, and a lake all within reach. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. Contact the sanctuary about hookups and rig fit before you book.

Boulder Creek RV Resort

68 RV Sites, 3 Cabins

A lake and creek support fishing, hiking runs in every direction, and planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. The setting is among the most visually spectacular of any campground in California. Mount Whitney rises to 14,505 feet — the highest peak in the contiguous United States — directly above the Alabama Hills, whose rounded granite formations have served as the backdrop for hundreds of films. Lone Pine sits in the Owens Valley between the Sierra's eastern escarpment and the White Mountains, with Death Valley to the east. Spring and fall are most comfortable in the Owens Valley, with summer bringing Whitney permit-holders and hikers. Reserve well ahead for the climbing season.

Lakeshore Resort

22 RV Sites, 7 Cabins

Lakeshore Resort in Lakeshore, CA, offers 22 full-hookup back-in RV sites and 7 cabins, with 30-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Every site is a back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. Note the electrical: service is 30-amp throughout, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, on-site dining, and cabins cover the rest. Pets are welcome. A marina with boat docks, a boat ramp, boat and kayak rentals, a fishing pier, a beach, a recreation center, and walking trails fill the property, with boating, fishing, swimming, paddle boats, water sports, kayaking, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and planned activities. Off-roading and snowboarding are nearby.

Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. The mountain season is short — reserve well ahead for summer.

Twelve pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 69 feet, with picnic tables and site WiFi. The category naming is unusually specific: sites are listed by exact flat length and amp configuration, and the Traveler Premium Patio category includes an umbrella and two chairs.

An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a dog park and picnicking areas across the grounds.

Sixty-three sites span standard back-ins, 50-foot back-ins, pull-throughs, 60-foot pull-throughs, river view back-ins, and 60-foot river view back-ins, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 80 feet. Publishing length by category is genuinely useful — you know what fits before you book. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a fitness center, clubhouse, and recreation center open year-round. The Kern River runs alongside the property, and the river view categories are worth requesting. Pets are welcome. Bakersfield sits at the intersection of Highway 99 and Rosedale Highway in Kern County, the southern anchor of the San Joaquin Valley. That places the park at the junction of the Central Valley's I-5 and Highway 99 corridors and the mountain routes toward Sequoia National Park and the southern Sierra Nevada — practical access that road trippers, snowbirds, and weekend travelers all use. The park operates year-round. Winter snowbird traffic and summer highway travel both drive demand — reserve ahead for holiday weekends.

A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. One policy to clear first: the resort has a ten-year age restriction on all RVs, though older coaches are reviewed for approval — send a photo to [email protected] before booking. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a clubhouse, playground, horseshoes, and dog park filling the grounds. Pets are welcome. The address is 34094 California State Highway 41, in Madera County where the blue oak and manzanita hills of the western Sierra rise out of the San Joaquin Valley toward the mixed conifer forest. Yosemite's South Entrance at Wawona is 25 miles north, which puts the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias and Glacier Point within a morning's drive. Summer is peak at Yosemite and the park fills. Reserve well ahead for June through September, and clear RV approval early if your coach is older.

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.

The vineyard sits on the Union Road Wine Trail in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles — the largest wine appellation in California by acreage, where calcareous limestone soils and marine-influenced temperature swings produce Rhône varietals, Zinfandel, and Tempranillo. The trail's boutique wineries built their identity in deliberate contrast to corporate wine tourism. Harvest season and warm-weather weekends drive demand. With six trailers, reserve well ahead.
