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.

109 RV Sites, 35 Tent Sites, 68 Lodges

One hundred nine sites run in standard back-in, premium back-in, and premium pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Seventy feet accommodates a long coach with a tow, which is generous for the Sierra foothills. Sixty-eight lodge units, cabins, classic trailers, yurts, and 35 tent sites make the lodging range exceptional. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, a snack bar, and a pet washing station handle the practical side.

Skiing and a state park are nearby. Groveland is the last town of any size before Yosemite's Big Oak Flat entrance and the descent into the valley. Summer fills Yosemite completely. Reserve well ahead.

Sequoia Resort & RV Park

22 RV Sites, 4 Houses, 1 Apartment

Sequoia Resort & RV Park in Badger, CA, offers 22 full-hookup back-in RV sites and 5 apartment and house rentals, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 30-amp and back-in 50-amp, each carrying water, sewer, and electric. The 40-foot maximum reflects the mountain terrain — check it against your rig before booking. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a library, a dump station, bike rentals, and a community fire pit cover the essentials, with apartments and houses for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome. The property spreads across 377 acres of Sierra Nevada hillside with walking trails, boat docks, horseshoes, hiking, and biking. Badger sits at the gateway to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, and the resort is the closest full-service RV property to the north entrance — a genuine advantage in country where lodging is scarce and the drive in is long. Rates for sites and rentals are on the booking page. Park season books far ahead; confirm your rig length when you reserve.

Bridgeport, CA

Willow Springs Resort

24 RV Sites, 8 Motel Rooms

Willow Springs Resort near Bridgeport, California, offers 24 full-hookup back-in RV sites and eight motel rooms in Mono County's Eastern Sierra, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. A Prime back-in category joins two standard back-in tiers, with a pond, library, community fire pit, and laundry. Twenty-four back-in sites run in two standard categories and a Prime tier, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp with site WiFi, sized to 40 feet, with picnic tables. Two things to check before booking: service tops out at 30-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management, and the 40-foot cap rules out larger coaches. Eight motel rooms round out the lodging for guests without a rig. A laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A pond supports fishing, with a library, community fire pit, hiking, horseshoes, and volleyball filling the rest. Pets are welcome. The family has run this property for more than six decades, five miles south of Bridgeport, and that continuity shows in how it is kept. The Eastern Sierra is one of the most varied outdoor regions in California, and this stretch has all of it — Great Basin desert, alpine terrain, and volcanic geology within a short drive. Bridgeport Reservoir and the East Walker River hold some of the state's best trout water, Bodie's ghost town sits east, Travertine Hot Springs is minutes away, and Yosemite's Tioga Pass entrance and Mono Lake are both south. Summer and fall are the season in the Eastern Sierra, with trout opener in late April drawing anglers. Reserve well ahead for June through September.

Pismo Sands RV Resort

48 RV Sites, 4 Cottages

Pismo Sands RV Resort in Oceano, California, offers 48 full-hookup pull-through RV sites and four cottages on the Central Coast, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 67 feet behind a gated entrance. A single pull-through category means no backing at any site, with an outdoor pool, hot tub, game room, and library. Forty-eight sites are pull-through throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 67 feet, with picnic tables. One consistent spec and no guesswork. Two things to know before booking: all RVs must be fully self-contained, and the on-site bathrooms close daily from 1 to 3pm for cleaning. Four cottages round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a game room, library, playground, dog park, basketball, shuffleboard, ping pong, and horseshoes filling the rest. A golf course and wine tasting are nearby. Pets are welcome. The position near the Halcyon Road exit off US-101 puts the Oceano Dunes, Pismo Beach, and Grover Beach minutes away, with the Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande wine country just inland and San Luis Obispo a short drive north. Summer drives the heaviest demand on the Central Coast, with the monarch butterfly grove at Pismo drawing visitors from November through February. Reserve well ahead for June through September.

Piru, CA

Lake Piru Recreation Area

228 RV Sites

Lake Piru Recreation Area in Piru, California, offers 228 RV sites on a 1,200-acre reservoir in Ventura County, with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 55 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full-hookup, electric-only, and no-hookup back-in categories serve every budget, with a marina and boat rentals on site. Two hundred twenty-eight back-in sites span full-hookup, electric-only, and no-hookup configurations, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 55 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. Accessible sites are available. The tiering by hookup level is genuinely useful — self-contained rigs can take a no-hookup site at a lower rate. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The reservoir carries the recreation. A marina and boat rentals put guests on the water, with boating, water sports, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing all running from the property. A disc golf course, walking trails, hiking, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, a playground, and a dog park fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Lake Piru sits where the Santa Felicia Dam impounds Piru Creek in the Topatopa Mountains, surrounded by the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and Los Padres National Forest — one of Southern California's most scenic accessible mountain lakes, roughly 60 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Summer draws heavy demand from the LA metro. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.
