We booked this campground at the last minute due to the fact that our planned campground was closed due to weather. This campground is the worst campground we have ever stayed at. Issues included no hot water for showers, no toilet paper, towels or soap in the bathrooms, dirty sinks, toilets and showers, poor landscaping, and no staff onsite to address any issues. If you have pets or kids, stay away. The property has several abandoned cottages that are falling down and overgrown vegetation throughout.

This place certainly has some issues and needs lots of work. It also has it’s own charm. It is quiet and shaded and the staff is very helpful and well informed. It is close to Yosemite National Park.

This place is run down and not taken care of. The buildings are in disrepair- paint peeling, tarps on roofs. The bathrooms are dirty and we’re never cleaned the 3 days we stayed. The dirt is so think on the floor it’s almost mud. The lights don’t work in the bathrooms and the stalls don’t all have locks. And we had to ask for toilet paper- twice! The showers were the same. The laundry ‘worked’ once you knew the trick for the dryer. The pool had a tree trunk in it. There are cabins that a tree fall on it and has never been cleaned up. I could keep going.
Our site was level with full hook-ups… the WiFi was spotty, but existed. Should have stayed at Thousand Trails or the National Forest campgrounds.
The ‘resort’ has potential,but not with these owners.

Our next door neighbors (apparently they’ve lived in the ‘bungalow’ for years were having a very loud argument resulting in one of them being picked up by an ambulance…..
Full hook-up site but with sewer placed higher that outlet from RV it was useless. As we were only 2 RV’s on the site we found a site too small but with sewer below us to dump.
Calling this a RV Resort makes absolutely no sense.
Only good thing was the Wi-Fi which was the best we’ve had on our almost 3 week trip

On arrival, which was approximately 1:30 on a Sunday, the office was closed and nobody answered the phone or returned messages. And there were no other RVs in the park. There was a paper posted that says do not set up in a site without checking in first. So we waited and about an hour later a gentlemen came walking into the park with his dog and asked if we were checking in, if so he could help us. Since we were the only people there we could have our choice of any site. What I had originally booked was elec/water only, we changed to the only full hook up site that we were told could accommodate our size, site 9. It wasn't too bad getting into it but the direction you have to go to get out was very tight and I wouldn't recommend it with an RV like ours. It was dirt/gravel and not super level but not horrible either. The wifi was fantastic but keep in mind we were the only ones there. We didn't use the bathrooms but the laundry room left a little to be desired. Cheap at $1 per wash and $1 per dry but with only 2 of each machine, 1 dryer broken and the other taking an entire hour to mostly dry a load, it wasn't the best we've used but it did the job. As others have mentioned, the place is rundown. The pool was drained and there was a very large tree down on the pool deck, the office never opened the whole time we were there or the restaurant next door but it was about 1 hour from the Yosemite Valley Visitor center or 30 min from the Hetch Hetchy entrance. This could be a much nicer place if the owners invested a little time and effort into it but it did serve it's purpose as a base for visiting the park.

We really enjoyed our week in Yosemite and used this as our home base to explore. If you have a big rig or cannot get a spot in the park, this is just outside the entrance. Since the park is big, if you want to explore multiple areas, I would definitely recommend sleeping in one if the park campgrounds.
The park was nice - full hookups and spots are shaded. The laundry was nice as well, at only a dollar per load (I would suggest using the dryer on the bottom). Also, we had no cell service, but the wifi was good enough to stream Netflix at night.
Don't expect a resort though, as the pictures on their website can be deceiving - the pool is closed, the playground is just a swingset, and the place is a bit rundown. The manager was also very helpful with questions and anything we needed. We understood from him that there is a new owner who is going to rebuild the entire park, so things may change.
All in all, it's expensive (as is everything in the area), but if you set your expectations and only use the park as a base to explore Yosemite, it's perfectly fine.
Also, we were warned of a bear that comes through every night. We left out a decorative pumpkin by our door and sure enough it was eaten with only crumbs left in the morning. Be aware!

For those visiting Yosemite entering from Big Oak Flat entrance from Highway 120 (Groveland), the intent is to provide pros/cons of this RV park with a couple suggestions outside Yosemite.
• Stayed at the RV park for 1 week in July 2021 (hot week and during drought)
• RV park is a 15 minute drive from Yosemite Big Oak Flat entrance
• From Big Oak Flat entrance to Yosemite Valley inside park is another 30-45min drive
• Spots 8, 9, 15 are the best for large rigs
• RV full hookups were good quality and stable
• Pool was out of commission, not sure why, it had water in it – drought? The hotel next door has an
operating pool, if the RV park pool was in working order it would have enhanced our experience
• The “office” is a small window near the gas pumps
• The “store” was never open the multiple times we stopped by, no idea why, looking through the glass the
shelves were barren – such a disappointment and missed opportunity for RV park to make additional
revenue
• The laundry room was somewhat functional
• I booked this RV park based on website and photos, in reality it is very different - overall it’s rough but
does the job, it won’t win any glamour awards – but again does the job needed
• No Verizon or AT&T signal from our iphones
• WiFi did work for streaming Netflix/Amazon but obviously reduced as the park filled-up
• This property has such potential, it’s a shame to see it in disrepair with the need for TLC
• Diner which is a quick 5 minute walk has amazing food and people are so nice!
• If you enjoy waterfalls and natural pools, you must visit Rainbow Pool (2 miles away from RV park – easy
access) and Carlson Falls Trails (near entrance to Yosemite – moderate to challenging 45min hike each
way, but worth it)

It was close Yosemite National Park. Maybe 30 min drive to the entrance.
The full hookup sites were full so we stayed at the Bear Loop. We had the whole loop for ourselves fof the entire week. 😄
The campground has laundry (for a $1/wash), playground and fire pits for each site.
Staff was very nice too!

Stayed for 3 days while checking out Yosemite. Was close enough to make day trips doable. Staff was great. Had a site in the bear loop which is a newer addition, no sewer hookups yet in it, though there was a spot to dump on the way out. Access in the campground was not bad, though allow for extra time getting to the campground as the roads are very twisty pretty much from any direction.
Laundry was cheap at $1 per load, though the driers took a few runs to get loads dry.
No AT&T signal on our phones, was able to get enough of a signal on the hotspot with external antenna to stream with.
They do have propane on site for cash only, was $3.59 a gallon while we were there. There are gas and diesel pumps on site that take cards.
Little bit of traffic noise, but not too bad.
Would stay again.

Our site was one of a few good sites, others were not as spacious.
