High Sierra RV Park

High Sierra RV Park accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups at premium sites, though maneuvering larger rigs requires careful planning. The private campground sits along the Fresno River in Oakhurst, with stores within walking distance and Yosemite's south entrance 15 minutes away by car.

Sites cluster closely together, particularly the premium spots that include water, electric, and sewer connections. "Spaces were VERY close!" reports Bonnie C., noting the tight quarters between neighboring RVs. Several reviewers mention the challenging navigation for larger trailers, especially sites toward the back of the park where some campers must back out entirely to exit. The layout works better for Class C motorhomes and smaller travel trailers.

The Fresno River runs through the property, offering swimming holes and shallow wading areas. Campers can access hiking trails along the water, and children enjoy a rope swing over deeper pools, though this amenity operates independently of the campground. Tree coverage provides shade across most sites, while Skylajude C. notes "Beautiful views of river" from waterside spots.

Facilities include clean restrooms and showers, though privacy remains limited in the shower areas. WiFi reaches throughout the campground, and cell service works reliably. The friendly staff accommodates special requests when possible. Tent sites measure approximately 20x20 feet with minimal spacing between neighbors. Rates range from $13-50 per night depending on site type and season, with reservations available.

For campers preferring more space between sites, Yosemite Basecamp offers a different layout just southwest of town.

Many visitors appreciated the helpful staff and proximity to Yosemite, along with clean facilities and river access. However, cramped sites with limited privacy and challenging conditions for larger RVs were common concerns.

Basic campsite

The campsite was 39 and it was right next to the bathroom. To leave with a 26’ travel trailer I had to pull out and back down another road just to exit the park. The showers had two each but you have zero privacy when drying yourself. One in the mens exits to the urinal and the other into the entrance door. The only few positive things are that they are friendly and you have shade from the trees on the property. It’s about a 30 minute drive to the South Yosemite National Park entrance.

nice camp but spots are too close to each other

Nice camp, clean toilets and restrooms. They rent a small spot and therefore there is little privacy between each RV

It would be our last resort if nothing else was available

I’ll start with the positive. If you need anything stores are close and entrance to Yosemite is 15 min up the road. Now for the negative. We have 29 foot travel trailer and we reserved a premium pull through spot. Although we could pull through the spaces were very tight and we just happen to get lucky that nobody was across from us as there is only in one way in and one way out. We were able to use other empty spot across from us to turn around. Had it been full we would have had a heck of a time getting out. One family came in last night and their spot was at the very end and they had to back all the way out of the park so they could back their trailer all the way back in. It is ridiculous. Our spot was also very hard to try and level our trailer. We never did quite get it leveled the way we would’ve liked. The bathrooms aren’t very clean and the “beach” is over grown and i wouldn’t really even let my dog in the stagnant water. Bottom line this place is not good for your larger travel trailers our size or bigger. Especially if you are in a spot like we had which was spot 34 or a spot towards the end. Maybe better spot near the entrance. Class c generally would have no problem.

Great Hosts but Close Sites

We stayed in the premium sites at this camp ground. Loved the hosts. They were wonderful to work with and very accommodating. The premium sites include full hook-ups — water, electric and sewer. We were in site 43. We were told that during COVID that they they were keeping sites in between those rented open for social distancing, however this did not apply to premium sites. Spaces were VERY close!

Despite this, we still would highly recommend this campground! Especially if you are visiting Yosemite! It is clean, bathrooms in great condition, WiFi was good and limited free and as mentioned earlier hosts/owners were GREAT!

Truly amazing!

The creek, waterfalls & rope swing over the swimming hole was unbelievable!! The kids enjoyed the rope swing while the mom enjoyed the walk back to the falls & thru the shallow waters... the Campground was good too, lol! The parking is a little tricky but we've found fellow campers to be helpful! (P.S. Found out on check - out that the rope swing does not belong to the High Sierra Campground, swing at your own risk, lol!)

Tent camping

The place is in great location. The bathrooms are clean which is a great plus. There is a nice river (Fresno River). One thing I have to add is that many of the campsites along the water trailer and especially tent sites are very bunched up. There is not any room between campsites. The tent sites have are honestly 20x20 I would say. Therefore, there is no privacy. I understand from a business perspective the concept but to make it more appealing campsite I would suggest changing the layout and cutting the tent sites into half so that each campsite has more room.
