Campgrounds near Auberry, California
Auberry sits in the western Sierra Nevada foothills of Fresno County, between the lower elevation reservoirs of the San Joaquin River and the higher mountain lakes of the Sierra National Forest. The town falls on Highway 168, the main route linking the Central Valley to Shaver Lake and Huntington Lake, which makes it a practical base for RV travelers. Within roughly an hour, drivers can reach foothill lakeshore camping at Millerton Lake State Recreation Area or climb to forested sites along the shore of Shaver Lake at about 5,500 feet. Camp Edison anchors the higher elevation options with electric and full hookup sites, while the Meadows, Valley Oak, Rocky Point, Mono, Fort Miller, and Duma Strand loops at Millerton Lake handle most RV traffic on the foothill side. Closer to town, Ponderosa Trailer Park offers a small foothill option, and Outdoorsy Yosemite provides private-land camping for travelers continuing toward Yosemite National Park.
Things to do near Auberry
Water activities dominate trip planning here. Millerton Lake offers swimming, boating, jet skiing, fishing, water skiing, kayaking, and sailing, with 47 miles of shoreline to explore. Spring bass fishing is a draw, and the park runs winter boat tours to view bald and golden eagles. Shaver Lake, reached on Highway 168 above Auberry, is the other main destination, with marinas, boat ramps, and around 35 miles of trails accessible from Camp Edison. The Bureau of Land Management's San Joaquin River Gorge area, a short drive northwest of Auberry, has multi-use trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Sierra National Forest surrounds the higher elevations and provides mountain biking, wildlife viewing, and access to the giant sequoias at McKinley Grove. Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon National Parks are all within driving range for day trips.

The region splits into two camping calendars based on elevation. The foothill lakes around Millerton, near 600 feet, stay accessible year-round. Spring brings green hills, wildflowers, and the best bass fishing, while summer is hot and busy. Winter on the foothill shore is cool and damp but quiet, and seasonal eagle viewing boat tours run on the lake. Higher up at Shaver Lake, the forest sits at about 5,500 feet, with mild summer days and winter nights that drop below freezing. Most developed Sierra National Forest campgrounds operate between late spring and mid fall. Camp Edison is one of the few that stays open year-round through its Dogwood Loop, with a designated peak season from May 15 to October 14 and lower off-season rates from October 15 to May 14. Snowfall can accumulate at higher elevations through the cooler months, so winter trips to Shaver Lake call for chains, snow-rated tires, and current road condition checks. Boat ramps and marinas at Shaver are generally active from spring through fall.

We rented this RV for the long weekend for our first camping trip with our 1-year-old and 5-year-old, and we had such a wonderful time! The RV was incredibly clean, new, and comfortable. We also needed the trailer to be delivered, and the entire communication and delivery process was so smooth and right on time. We really appreciate all of the help and kindness from the owner. On our way back, our car wouldn’t start when he came to pick up the trailer. He took the time to help us with our car and suggested something that actually worked and got it started! We truly appreciated him going above and beyond to help us. We would definitely book another trip with him in the future.

We had the best time using this RV while camping in Yosemite area! 10/10 recommend.
Brittany G. - Sep 2026
I truly can’t say enough about how amazing our experience was with Andrea’s travel trailer. The communication before booking was outstanding, and when we needed a couple of extra considerations they were so kind and helpful. The trailer was delivered in immaculate shape and cleanliness. Everything functioned perfectly and there were no surprises, other than the fact that the trailer was even better than expected. We wouldn’t hesitate to rent this trailer again, and anyone who rents it will be VERY happy with both the trailer and the booking experience!

How to book campgrounds near Auberry
Reservation systems vary by operator. Sites at Millerton Lake State Recreation Area, including the Meadows, Valley Oak, Rocky Point, Mono, Fort Miller, and Duma Strand loops, are booked through ReserveCalifornia at reservecalifornia.com or by phone at (800) 444-7275, with a six-month rolling booking window. Walk-ins are accepted subject to availability. Camp Edison at Shaver Lake is operated by Southern California Edison and uses its own CampLife-based system at campedison.com or by phone at (559) 841-3134, extension 6. Reservations for the upcoming season open on the second Monday in January at 8 a.m., with all customers placed into a randomized order. A two-night minimum and 14-night maximum apply, with one RV and one reservation per household, and only locally sourced firewood is permitted to limit the spread of tree-killing pests. Private parks such as Ponderosa Trailer Park and Outdoorsy Yosemite book directly with the operator.
What to expect on site
Site setups range widely. Camp Edison has 252 sites at Shaver Lake; 43 are full hookup with electric, water, and sewer (sites 133-175), and the other 209 have electric only. The campground has four RV disposal sites, bathrooms with showers that require a purchased shower card, two laundromats, and a beach front day use area. At Millerton Lake, the developed north shore offers electric hookup sites along with standard sites, flush toilets, hot showers, and a dump station, while several other loops are limited to smaller trailers with no hookups. Bear-resistant food storage cabinets are standard, and food and scented items should never be stored in tents or unsecured vehicles. Cell service is fair around Millerton and the Shaver Lake area but drops off quickly on Sierra National Forest roads.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Auberry, CA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Auberry, CA?
RV rental in Auberry is a smart-money way to explore the Sierra Nevada foothills, with travel trailers typically starting around $95 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes running about $175 to $275, and luxury Class A rigs landing in the $250 to $400 range. Because Auberry sits in Fresno County just off Highway 168, you'll often find better rates than coastal California pickup points like Los Angeles or San Francisco. To score a cheap RV rental in Auberry, book midweek, target shoulder months like April, May, or October, and filter by Instant Book to spot last-minute deals. Pro tip: many hosts include generator hours in the nightly rate, which saves real money on Shaver Lake and Yosemite trips.
visitcalifornia.com/places-to-visit/central-valley/What license do I need to rent an RV in Auberry, California?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Auberry, no commercial license or special endorsement required for motorhomes and trailers on the RVezy platform. You'll need to be at least 25 years old with a valid license, and RVezy verifies your ID securely through the platform before pickup, usually in minutes. Visiting from outside the United States? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your local auto club, typically under $25. California recognizes IDPs, so you're free to cruise Highway 168 toward Shaver Lake or roll out to Yosemite the moment you pick up the keys.
dmv.ca.gov/portal/driver-education-and-safety/educational-materials/fast-facts/non-resident-driver-information-ffdl-12/Is the RV and my trip protected when I book in Auberry?
Yes, every RV rental in Auberry booked through RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built into the booking. The protection plan covers physical damage to the RV, and you choose your coverage level at checkout based on the peace of mind you want. Whether you are driving Auberry Road down to the San Joaquin River Gorge or climbing Highway 168 toward Huntington Lake, you have backup if something unexpected happens. Roadside assistance is included with every protection plan, so help is one call away if you need a tow, jump start, tire change, or lockout service during your Auberry RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Auberry RV rental?
Booking is low risk. RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not individual hosts), so the terms are consistent across every listing on the platform. Refund amounts depend on how far in advance you cancel from your trip start date. If a host cancels on you, RVezy refunds your booking or provides travel credits so your plans are protected. Reserve early to lock in the best motorhome rental in Auberry for Yosemite and Shaver Lake season, then relax knowing the cancellation policy is the same no matter which RV you choose.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an RV trip from Auberry?
Absolutely, dogs are welcome on many Auberry RV trips. Just use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you'll find plenty of pet-friendly RV rental options in Auberry from hosts who actively welcome four-legged co-pilots. The surrounding area is a dog lover's dream: leashed pups are allowed at the San Joaquin River Gorge BLM trails just five miles from town, and most Sierra National Forest campgrounds around Shaver Lake and Huntington Lake permit dogs in campsites and on trails. Heads up that Yosemite National Park restricts pets on most trails, so plan dog adventures around BLM and national forest land instead. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and any breed limits.
blm.gov/visit/san-joaquin-river-gorge-special-recreation-management-areaCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Auberry?
Yes, RV delivery in Auberry is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if you're new to driving a big rig on mountain roads. Many local hosts offer to drop the RV directly at your campsite at Camp Edison on Shaver Lake, Dinkey Creek Campground, or the San Joaquin River Gorge area, then level it, hook up utilities, and walk you through every system before they leave. Delivery fees are usually based on distance from the host's location and are listed on each RV's page. This option is gold for first time renting an RV because you skip the highway learning curve and step straight into vacation mode. Filter by Delivery on RVezy to see who offers it.
fs.usda.gov/recarea/sierra/recarea/?recid=80684How far can I drive on a typical Auberry RV rental?
You've got real range to explore. Most hosts in Auberry include a daily mileage allowance (commonly 100 to 150 miles per day), and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage for longer road trips. From Auberry you're perfectly positioned: Shaver Lake is just 18 miles up Highway 168, Yosemite's south entrance is about 60 miles, Bass Lake is 30 miles, Kings Canyon National Park is roughly 70 miles, and Sequoia National Park sits about 90 miles south. If you're planning a multi-park Sierra loop, check the listing's mileage policy or message the host before booking to negotiate extra miles. Pro tip: ask about a flat package rate if you're planning more than 500 miles.
nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/directions.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Auberry, CA?
You're spoiled for choice with some of the best campgrounds near Auberry sitting within an hour's drive. Camp Edison on Shaver Lake (252 sites with full hookups, open year-round, run by Southern California Edison) is the local crown jewel for RV camping in Auberry's backyard. Dorabelle Campground at Shaver Lake offers shaded forest sites with vault toilets and drinking water at 5,500 feet elevation. Dinkey Creek Campground (128 sites, fits trailers to 35 feet) sits creekside about 40 minutes east. Closer to town, the BLM's San Joaquin River Gorge area has walk-in and equestrian camping just five miles from downtown Auberry. Pro tip: reserve Camp Edison and Dorabelle on Recreation.gov six months ahead for summer weekends.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232821When is the best time of year for an Auberry RV trip?
Auberry's sweet spot runs from April through early November, with each season delivering something different. Spring (March to May) is wildflower season at the San Joaquin River Gorge with highs in the 60s and 70s and rivers running full from Sierra snowmelt. Summer (June to August) is hot in town (highs averaging 90°F) but glorious up at Shaver Lake or Huntington Lake where elevation drops temperatures into the 70s. Fall brings cool nights, golden oaks, and thinner crowds, while winter at town elevation (1,900 ft) stays mild around 53°F by day but turns snowy above 4,000 ft. Insider tip: late May and September are the smart-money picks: warm days, cool nights, and easier campground reservations.
weather.gov/hnx/I have never driven an RV before. Will I be OK in Auberry?
You will do great, and Auberry is a friendly place to learn. The town sits in the Sierra Nevada foothills at about 2,000 feet, with rural two-lane roads instead of urban traffic, so you can build confidence before tackling the climb to Shaver Lake. Every RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering propane, water tanks, the awning, slide-outs, leveling, and the dump valves, and you can message them anytime during your trip. First time renting an RV? Choose a Class B campervan or a smaller Class C around 22 to 25 feet for easier handling on Auberry Road's curves. Drive Highway 168 toward Shaver Lake during daylight on day one to get a feel for the rig.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if I have a breakdown during my Auberry RV trip?
You are never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so if a tire blows on Highway 168 or the generator quits at Camp Edison, one call dispatches help. Your host is also a first line of support, just message them through the RVezy app and most respond within minutes. RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after your trip. The nearest full-service auto and RV shops are about 30 minutes away in Clovis and Fresno, and Auberry itself has a small fuel station and convenience store along Auberry Road. Take photos of every system during your walkthrough so troubleshooting later is fast.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Auberry RV rental across state lines or into Canada or Mexico?
Cross-country adventures are fair game in most cases. An RV road trip from Auberry across state lines (Nevada, Oregon, Arizona, or Utah) is generally allowed, and popular routes include Auberry to Las Vegas (about 350 miles), Auberry to Lake Tahoe (about 250 miles), and Auberry to the Oregon coast for the long-haulers. Travel into Canada may be allowed depending on the host and the protection package, so message the host directly from the listing before booking to confirm. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because the protection package doesn't extend across that border. Insider pick: a one-week loop hitting Yosemite, Mono Lake, and Lake Tahoe makes an unforgettable Sierra circuit from Auberry.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-goWhat's a realistic fuel budget for an RV trip from Auberry?
Fuel is the biggest variable cost, but it's easy to plan for. Expect roughly 8 to 10 mpg for a Class A, 10 to 14 mpg for a Class C, and 16 to 20 mpg for a Class B campervan or small travel trailer (a tow vehicle's mileage will drop a few mpg when pulling). California fuel prices typically run higher than the national average, so budget around $5.00 per gallon for gas in the Fresno area as a planning number. Fill up in Clovis or Fresno before climbing Highway 168 because prices rise at higher-elevation stations like Shaver Lake. Pro tip: a typical 4-day Auberry to Yosemite to Shaver Lake loop runs about 250 to 350 miles total, so most renters spend $150 to $250 on fuel.
energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/transportation-energy/california-retail-fuel-outlet-annual-reportingHow far ahead should I book campgrounds near Auberry?
Book sooner than you think, especially for summer. Sierra National Forest campgrounds like Dorabelle, Dinkey Creek, and the Huntington Lake sites release reservations on Recreation.gov up to six months in advance, and prime Friday and Saturday nights from Memorial Day through Labor Day sell out within minutes of opening. Camp Edison on Shaver Lake (run by Southern California Edison) takes reservations directly on its own site and is similarly competitive. If you miss the window, Dinkey Creek typically holds a portion of sites as first come, first served, so arrive Thursday morning to claim one. Shoulder weeks in May and late September are far easier to book, even at the most popular spots.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232821What are the local driving conditions like around Auberry?
Driving around Auberry is mostly relaxed, with one heads-up: you're in the Sierra foothills, so expect winding two-lane roads. Highway 168 from Clovis up to Auberry and onward to Shaver Lake is a well-maintained paved climb with grades up to 6% and lots of curves: take it slow and use lower gears on the descent. Smalley Road down to the San Joaquin River Gorge is paved but narrow, and the BLM advises rigs over 25 feet to drive carefully. Summer brings occasional smoke from regional wildfires (check Caltrans QuickMap before you go), and winter occasionally drops snow above 4,000 feet, so chains may be required on Highway 168 past Shaver Lake. Pro tip: don't drive mountain roads after dark on day one.
quickmap.dot.ca.gov/What amenities do campgrounds near Auberry actually offer?
Local campgrounds range from full-resort to back-to-basics, so you can match the trip to your style. Camp Edison on Shaver Lake offers full hookups (water, electric, sewer at some sites), hot showers, laundry, a camp store, and even cable TV at select sites. Most U.S. Forest Service campgrounds like Dorabelle and Dinkey Creek have potable water spigots and vault toilets but no hookups, which is fine for a few nights on tank water. Dump stations and potable fill are available at Camp Edison and at the Shaver Lake Marina area. The BLM's San Joaquin River Gorge has drinking water and pit toilets only. Pro tip: fill fresh water and dump tanks before leaving Auberry if you're heading into no-hookup sites.
fs.usda.gov/recarea/sierra/recarea/?recid=80686What's actually inside a typical RV rental in Auberry?
More than most first-timers expect. A standard motorhome rental in Auberry comes with a real bed (or two), a kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, a bathroom with toilet and shower, dining table, climate control, and seatbelted seating for everyone traveling. Bigger Class C and Class A rigs add features like a queen bedroom, bunkbeds, outdoor TV, and onboard generator for running AC off-grid (handy in 90°F Central Valley summers). Most rentals include linens, kitchenware, basic outdoor chairs, and a leveling kit. Wifi and cell service get spotty above Shaver Lake, so download maps and entertainment in town. Each listing shows exactly what's included, so you'll know before you book. Campervan rental Auberry options are great for couples wanting simplicity.
fs.usda.gov/sierraWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Hosts in Auberry make trips easier with practical add-ons you can select during booking: camp chairs, BBQ kits, generators, solar packages, bedding bundles, kayaks and bikes (huge for Shaver Lake), and pet packages. Common fees include cleaning ($75 to $200), generator hours after the included allotment ($3 to $5 per hour), and propane refills. Mileage policies vary by listing, with most including 100 to 150 free miles per day, so check before booking if you're planning a big family RV trip Auberry to Yosemite and back. Pickup is usually at the host's location near Auberry, Prather, or Clovis, but delivery to Camp Edison or your driveway is widely offered. Pro tip: confirm pickup time gives you daylight to reach your first campground.
nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/index.htmHow does payment and the security deposit work for an RV rental in Auberry?
Payment is simple and secure. You pay through the RVezy platform when you book (never directly to the host in cash) using a credit or debit card, and you see the full breakdown of rental cost, protection plan, taxes, and fees upfront. The security deposit is separate from the booking payment and is held (not charged) on your card before your trip to cover potential incidentals like missing equipment or excess cleaning. It is released back to you after the host confirms the RV returned in good shape. To avoid any deposit hassle, take time-stamped photos at pickup and dropoff, return with the same fuel and propane levels, empty the holding tanks if your agreement requires it, and follow the cleaning checklist.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksHow do I handle Auberry's hot summers and chilly mountain nights in an RV?
Easy, once you know the trick: Auberry's climate has a wide daily swing, so your RV gives you the best of both. Summer days in town hit 90°F to 95°F, but elevations like Shaver Lake (5,500 ft) and Huntington Lake (7,000 ft) drop into the 70s, so plan daytime adventures up the mountain and head back down only when needed. Run the rooftop AC on shore power at Camp Edison, or use the onboard generator at no-hookup sites (most rentals include a few free hours daily). Nights cool to the 50s even in July, so pack a hoodie and use the RV's furnace or heated blankets. Pro tip: park in shade, close the reflective window covers by 10 a.m., and you'll stay 15 degrees cooler inside.
