Park of the Sierras (Escapees Member Only Park)

We stayed at SKP Park of the Sierras for two months during April and May and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. To use the park, you'll need an Escapees membership (about $50), which we found well worth the cost given the quality of the facilities and amenities. Originally, we were only able to reserve one month at a time, but when our circumstances changed, the office staff were incredibly understanding and worked with us to extend our stay. The staff throughout the park were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Our site was spacious, shaded by mature trees, and included full hookups and a concrete patio area that was perfect for setting up chairs and relaxing outdoors. The grounds were well maintained, and the park was surprisingly quiet during our stay. The amenities were excellent. The clubhouse hosted daily activities, and there was a library, games, fitness area, coffee station, and a donation-based thrift shop section. The laundry facilities were clean and well maintained, and quarters were available for purchase in the office during business hours. Traveling with dogs, we especially appreciated the dog park. It featured separate fenced areas for large and small dogs, water spigots, covered areas for rainy weather, and even a heater for chilly mornings. The shower facilities were clean and comfortable. They sold propane onsite. Fuel was conveniently located just down the road at the casino, often at reasonable prices. For our longer stay we would drive into Oakhurst or Fresno for groceries, so it's worth planning ahead for larger grocery runs. One of the biggest advantages of this park is its location. It served as an excellent home base for exploring Yosemite National Park, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, Monterey Bay, San Francisco, and Pinnacles National Park, (we don’t mind a long drive!). We used Starlink throughout our stay and were pleased by how well it worked. Even with a tree-filled site, it was able to find enough open sky to maintain a reliable connection. A few things future guests should know: some of the roads have tighter curves, but the staff are very knowledgeable about matching RVs to appropriate sites. Our 25-foot trailer had no issues. Mail and package delivery can also require some planning. As guests, we had mail sent to General Delivery at the Coarsegold Post Office. However, we later learned that FedEx would not deliver there, so packages shipped by different carriers may require different delivery addresses. It's worth confirming shipping methods before ordering anything important. Overall, SKP Park of the Sierras exceeded our expectations. The spacious sites, excellent amenities, quiet atmosphere, friendly staff, and central location made it one of our favorite long-term stays. We would gladly return and highly recommend it to other RV travelers.

Super impressed with Park Sierra in Coarsegold. Organized and offers ever single thing you’d need (laundry, showers, events, etc. Highly recommend!

Recently my husband and I ventured to Park of the Sierras to visit my sister and her husband. We were so impressed by the community, the setting and how incredibly peaceful it was. The ‘locals’ were friendly and inviting. Many of the spaces were private… it was a wonderful weekend and we felt right at home! Thank you, Park Sierra… and my sister. ?? Jenny & Theron Davis

A one-night stop-over to “re-stock”. Extremely clean bathroom/showers. Friendly and helpful staff and residents. No problems with site, water, electric, dump. Comfortable clubhouse. All the free ice you could want. Modest prices on soda/ice creams. Very reasonable fee. Good location.

Fantastic park an hour from the southern entrance to Yosemite. Half an hour into Fresno with all of the conveniences you could want. Park has a great layout, where you are not simply in a row stacked amongs other RVs. This feels much more like a big state park campground. Park has a new cable TV system, is working on upgrading the in Park Wi-Fi, and in January 2025, will be redoing the clubhouse, bathroom and shower facilities. They have a $50 off coupon for a one week stay, which pretty much pays for the required Escapees membership.

Stay Feb 2020. Superb park. Absolutely gorgeous. Bathrooms and showers were just ok. Laundry room was good. WiFi was pretty bad, I would have another way to connect if you want to. TV worked well, but did cut out as more people started watching it. Spaces are huge, and its not just a parking lot. Rolling hills with sites spaced around it. Lots of trees and grassy areas. It was a little difficult to get into/out of our site (117) but we made it ok. Dog park is fantastic. Go at 4 when there are other people/dogs there and its pretty fun. Lots of trails around the park to walk. They do have some other restrictive rules, but this park alone is worth the cost of Escapees yearly membership. We will be back.

Great spot to stop for the night or longer to explore the mountains and Yosemite. Friendly people. Pristine RV sites. Easy in/out. Great elevation all year.

Nice big sites. Staff is nice and friendly. Will return again.
