his park is very different from any others I have been to. I could help but notice how the rating have dropped this year, now I can see why. This is a very small park of about 30 spaces and not too easy to maneuver around into a spot, especially if you have a big rig. We stayed here for a week to long. The things I noticed with the park were, 1. People having problems, and one young woman from the office very helpful helped us get our trailer backed in to our spot. 2. The grounds are not kept up at all. Trash was overflowing everywhere throughout the park cans. 3. They have a propane station, but good luck on getting any. We tried getting some on a Saturday, and the young lady at the office whom was extremely helpful in trying to get us some, although, the man that finally came down had a very rude and bad attitude and yet could not help but notice how much he had the aroma of alcohol on him in the early afternoon. 4. This park also has a rec. room, but is closed at all times. You can use it for a price of $50.00, but you cannot see it. I was shocked. We have never been to a park that has a rec. room that you cannot use. 5. Lets talk about the showers, the worst I have ever seen. We only saw a woman there once cleaning them in the whole week we were there. They were pitiful. If I was management I would be embarrassed to let people in them, and the way the park over looked. 6. I also noticed that there was a fence that just had been laying around waiting for an injury to happen. This fence looks like it has been untouched since they have done their pictures on their website. Wonder how long that has been? 7. The topper, not only were there a few sheriffs coming through the park to go in the swimming area with problems, but across from the dirty laundry room, there was quite a bit of trafficking going on (drug trafficking). This was extremely obvious when there was so much going in and out, and by the looks of these people, anyone could easily see this was a problem. Not a safe place to stay with children. I would definitely never return to this park, unless they have a new manager who cared enough to clean the place up. When we arrived, the managers were very rude and unpleasant and in talking with our neighbors, they felt the same way, and they as well will not return.

Yes, High Sierra is close to Yosemite and that is its primary draw. Restroom/shower facilities are beyond pitiful; they're disgusting. Sites are close together with zero privacy. We'll look for something else next time.

We were looking for a place close to Yosemite National Park where we could have full hookups and be close to "civilization", while still having more of a "camping experience" (we hate RV parks that are giant asphalt lots). High Sierra fit the bill perfectly. The park is very nice, with some shaded, some sun sites. The Fresno River runs right through the park, so you even have your choice of "riverside" sites where you can nose into the site and have a view out your windshield of the river. We liked how close the park is to Yosemite... we could easily do day trips into the park. Oakhurst is a good size town, with lots of services, restaurants, shops, and other amenities to choose from, without being too big. All of the staff went out of their way to be friendly and courteous and were very knowledgeable about the area, things to do, etc. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone who's looking to experience Yosemite National Park without all the hassles (you don't need to reserve five months in advance to have a shot at a site that will fit anything bigger than a tent!).
