Avery camping overview
Avery sits along State Highway 4 in Calaveras County, California, on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada at roughly 3,500 feet of elevation. The community is a gateway to Calaveras Big Trees State Park, home to two groves of giant sequoias, and serves as a quiet base for RV travelers exploring the Ebbetts Pass corridor and the Stanislaus River canyon.
RV options around Avery range from dry camping inside the state park to full-hookup private resorts in nearby Arnold and the Gold Country towns to the south. Oak Hollow at Calaveras Big Trees State Park offers forested sites among pines, cedars, and dogwoods, while Golden Pines RV Resort and Campground in Arnold provides year-round full hookups. Travelers willing to drive 30 to 45 minutes south reach Angels Camp and Columbia, where 49er RV Ranch, Marble Quarry RV Resort, and Angels Camp RV Resort cluster near historic gold-rush sites. Most RV traffic peaks from late spring through early fall.
Things to do near Avery
The headline attraction is Calaveras Big Trees State Park, where the North Grove Trail loops through some of the largest and oldest sequoias on Earth and the South Grove offers a longer backcountry walk. The Stanislaus River and Beaver Creek run through the park, providing swimming holes, trout fishing, and wildlife viewing.
Highway 4 continues east past Avery into the Stanislaus National Forest, with access to alpine lakes, Bear Valley ski terrain in winter, and hiking trailheads along Ebbetts Pass. To the south, the Gold Country towns of Murphys, Angels Camp, and Columbia State Historic Park add wineries, caverns, and preserved 1850s streetscapes. Mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and photography of the giant sequoias round out the area.

Camping seasons around Avery split sharply between the state park system and the private resorts. Oak Hollow at Calaveras Big Trees State Park typically operates from late spring through early fall and closes for winter, while the park's North Grove campground stays open year-round when conditions allow. Private parks behave differently. Golden Pines RV Resort and Campground in Arnold operates year-round, and the Gold Country resorts farther south, including 49er RV Ranch, Marble Quarry RV Resort, and Angels Camp RV Resort, also stay open through the colder months at their lower elevations.
Peak demand runs from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, with July and August the busiest. Weekends fill well in advance, especially for sequoia-adjacent sites. Spring brings wildflowers and high stream flows, fall offers cooler nights and thinner crowds, and winter delivers snow at park elevations along with chain controls on Highway 4.

The owners are very easy to work with on pick up and delivery times. The RV is very clean, comfortable, nice updated decor with nice dual reclining chairs. The kitchen was fully loaded. The owners really want their customers to have the best RV experience.

Another great experience! This time for 16 days 😳. This was the second time we have rented this RV from Margo. She quickly responded to questions or concerns we had. We will rent from her again! 😊

We had an amazing experience renting an RV from this owner. The RV was wonderful, clean, and stocked with everything we needed. He was punctual with setup and pickup, flexible, and incredibly nice to work with. When our original RV person canceled at the last second, he saved our trip, and our friends even asked for his card for their future trips. Highly recommend!

How to book campgrounds near Avery
Sites inside Calaveras Big Trees State Park, including Oak Hollow, are booked through ReserveCalifornia. The system opens a rolling six-month window, so summer weekends should be targeted as soon as that window opens. Phone reservations are also available through the state parks reservation line.
The private resorts handle their own bookings. Golden Pines RV Resort and Campground takes reservations directly through its website and phone line, with full payment due at booking and longer minimum stays around holiday weekends. 49er RV Ranch, Marble Quarry RV Resort, and Angels Camp RV Resort all reserve through their operator sites or through third-party booking platforms. For any holiday weekend in summer, booking two to three months ahead is sensible.
What to expect when camping near Avery
Expect a mix of forested mountain camping and lower-elevation Gold Country resorts. Oak Hollow and the rest of Calaveras Big Trees State Park are dry camping only, with no hookups, but offer flush toilets, token-operated showers, potable water, bear lockers at every site, and a dump station elsewhere in the park. RVs are limited to 30 feet inside the park, and trailers must use Rock Creek Road rather than the single-lane Mosquito Bridge.
Golden Pines and the Gold Country resorts provide full hookups, laundry, and seasonal pools. Cell service is patchy in the sequoia groves and improves toward Arnold and Angels Camp. Black bears are active, so food must stay in lockers or hard-sided RVs.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Avery, CA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Avery, CA?
An RV rental in Avery is one of the more affordable ways to experience the Sierra Nevada. On RVezy, expect roughly $95 to $175 per night for travel trailers and campervans, $150 to $250 per night for Class C motorhomes, and $250 and up for larger Class A units. Hosts in nearby Arnold, Murphys, and Angels Camp set their own pricing, mileage, and add-ons, so comparing a few listings on RVezy is the smart move. For a cheap RV rental in Avery, book midweek in May, September, or October when the giant sequoias are still gorgeous but Highway 4 demand dips. Many hosts also offer weekly discounts of 10 to 20 percent when you stay five or more nights.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Avery%2C%20CaliforniaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Avery?
A regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Avery, California. No commercial driver's license (CDL) or special RV endorsement is required for any rig listed on RVezy, including Class A motorhomes. Approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID inside the platform during booking, so there are no extra forms to chase down. Visiting from abroad? Bring your home driver's license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your local auto association. Most first-time renters are surprised how quick the approval is, often the same day you book your Calaveras Big Trees adventure.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV insurance and roadside assistance included with my Avery rental?
Yes, every RVezy booking in Avery includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you're covered from the moment you pull onto Highway 4. The protection plan covers eligible damage to the RV and gives you real financial peace of mind. You choose your coverage level during checkout (not the host), so you can pick the tier that fits your trip up to Calaveras Big Trees State Park or down to the Stanislaus River. With miles of winding mountain road between Avery and Bear Valley, the included roadside assistance is especially valuable.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat if I need to cancel my Avery RV trip?
Booking is low risk: RVezy sets the cancellation policy on every reservation (hosts don't decide this), and there's a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in your dates with confidence. After that window, refund eligibility depends on how far out you cancel. If a host needs to cancel, RVezy will help you rebook or issue a refund or credit. If a Sierra snowstorm, Highway 4 closure, or fire restriction disrupts your Calaveras Big Trees plans, contact RVezy support and the team will walk you through your options. Book early for July and August (peak season) and you'll still have time to use the grace period if plans shift.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an Avery RV rental?
Yes, Avery is a great dog-friendly basecamp, and you'll find plenty of pet-friendly RV rental options in Avery on RVezy by toggling the Pet-Friendly filter. Many hosts in Arnold and Murphys welcome dogs, often with a small cleaning fee. Once you're here, dogs are allowed on a 6-foot leash in the campgrounds and paved areas at Calaveras Big Trees State Park (they must sleep inside your RV at night due to black bears), and Stanislaus National Forest trails outside the state park are even more dog-friendly. The patio at Snowshoe Brewing Co. in Arnold is a local favorite for travelers with pups.
parks.ca.gov/?page_id=551Can the RV be delivered to my campsite in Avery?
Yes, RV delivery in Avery is one of the most popular ways to start a trip, especially if it's your first time renting an RV. Many RVezy hosts will drive the rig straight to your campsite at Calaveras Big Trees State Park, a Stanislaus National Forest campground, or a private cabin off Highway 4, then level it, hook it up, and walk you through every system before they leave. Filter for Delivery on RVezy to see hosts who offer it, then message them with your campsite number to confirm. Delivery is a game-changer for North Grove Campground, where length limits and winding roads can intimidate first-time drivers.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Avery%2C%20CaliforniaHow far can I drive on an Avery RV rental, and where do people go?
You can cover a lot of the Sierra Nevada from Avery, and many RVezy hosts offer generous mileage packages, with some listings even featuring RV rental with unlimited mileage. Each host sets their own policy (typically 100 to 150 free miles per night with extra miles around $0.35 to $0.50), so check the listing details before booking. Popular drives from Avery include Calaveras Big Trees State Park (about 4 miles), Bear Valley Ski Resort (about 35 miles), Yosemite's Hetch Hetchy entrance (about 90 miles), Lake Tahoe via Ebbetts Pass when open (about 110 miles), and Murphys wine country (about 20 miles). Budget a little mileage for a side trip to Moaning Cavern and Mercer Caverns as well.
fs.usda.gov/stanislausWhere are the best campgrounds near Avery for RVs?
You've got several great options for RV camping near Avery. North Grove Campground at Calaveras Big Trees State Park (about 4 miles east) is the top pick, with sites under giant sequoias and a dump station, accommodating RVs up to roughly 30 feet. Oak Hollow Campground inside the same park sits higher up and offers hot showers. Wakaluu Hep'Yoo Campground along the North Fork Stanislaus River in Stanislaus National Forest is reservable on Recreation.gov. Golden Pines RV Resort in Camp Connell offers full hookups. Book North Grove and Oak Hollow exactly six months ahead at 8 a.m. Pacific on ReserveCalifornia for peak summer dates.
parks.ca.gov/?page_id=551When is the best time to take an RV trip from Avery?
Late May through early October is the sweet spot for an Avery RV trip, with comfortable daytime highs in the 70s to 80s F at lower elevations and cool nights perfect for campfires. July and August are peak season with reliably dry weather and full access to Calaveras Big Trees State Park, while September and early October bring fewer crowds, fall color, and lower rates. Spring (May) brings wildflowers and strong snowmelt in the Stanislaus River. Avery sits near 3,000 feet, so winter trips are doable but expect chain controls on Highway 4 above Arnold during winter storms, making it a true snow-camping adventure.
weather.gov/sto/I've never driven an RV before. Can I really handle the roads around Avery?
Yes, and you're in good company, most renters heading to Calaveras Big Trees are first-timers. Every RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering driving, leveling, propane, water, and dumping, and you can message them anytime during your trip. Highway 4 from Angels Camp to Avery is a well-paved two-lane mountain road with manageable grades and pullouts, very doable in a 25 to 30-foot Class C. If you want zero stress, choose delivery and let the host park and set up at your site. A Class B campervan or small Class C is the easiest first-time pick for these Sierra roads.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if my RV breaks down on a remote road near Avery?
You're covered. Every RVezy rental includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on Highway 4, a dead battery at a Stanislaus National Forest campground, or a mechanical hiccup near Bear Valley is handled with one phone call. The dispatcher will send help to your exact location. Your host is also just a message away on the RVezy app for quick questions about the rig's quirks. Cell service drops between Arnold and Bear Valley, so download offline maps and save the RVezy support number before you leave town.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Avery RV rental to Nevada, Oregon, or across borders?
Most RVezy hosts in Avery allow interstate trips into Nevada (Reno, Lake Tahoe's east shore) and Oregon, and your protection plan follows you across state lines within the U.S. Message the host from the listing page before booking to confirm your route, especially for longer hauls. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because coverage does not extend there. Cross-border travel into Canada is generally not covered, so confirm directly with RVezy and the host before planning that route. Popular RV road trips from Avery include the Sierra loop through Yosemite to Mammoth and Lake Tahoe via Highway 89.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on an Avery RV trip?
Plan for around 8 to 12 miles per gallon on most motorhomes and 14 to 18 mpg on campervans, then factor in the climb up Highway 4. California gas prices in Calaveras County typically run higher than the national average, so fill up in Angels Camp or Murphys before heading uphill (Avery itself has limited fuel options). For a 4-day, 400-mile loop in a Class C, budget roughly $200 to $300 in fuel depending on current pump prices. Propane for cooking and the fridge is inexpensive: a 20-pound tank fill in Arnold typically lasts about a week of normal use.
energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/transportation-energy/california-retail-fuel-outlet-annual-reportingHow far ahead should I book a campground near Avery?
For peak summer weekends at Calaveras Big Trees State Park, book exactly six months ahead at 8 a.m. Pacific on ReserveCalifornia, that's when the rolling reservation window opens and the best North Grove and Oak Hollow sites can disappear within minutes. Stanislaus National Forest campgrounds like Sand Flat and Boards Crossing are bookable on Recreation.gov on a similar six-month window. For midweek or shoulder-season trips (May, September, October), 2 to 4 weeks out is usually fine. Set an availability alert for sold-out summer dates, cancellations pop up regularly.
reservecalifornia.com/What are driving conditions like on Highway 4 around Avery?
Highway 4 through Avery is a scenic two-lane mountain road that's well-maintained and RV-friendly up to Bear Valley, with manageable grades and plenty of turnouts. Below Avery toward Angels Camp the road is wide and easy. Above Bear Valley, the highway narrows dramatically through Ebbetts Pass (typically closed in winter and into late spring) and is not recommended for RVs over 25 feet. Watch for deer at dusk, summer afternoon thunderstorms, and occasional wildfire smoke in late summer. Check Caltrans QuickMap for live road conditions, and never assume Ebbetts Pass is open even in June.
quickmap.dot.ca.gov/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Avery?
Expect a comfortable mix. Calaveras Big Trees State Park's North Grove and Oak Hollow campgrounds offer flush toilets, coin-operated hot showers, potable water spigots, fire rings, picnic tables, and bear lockers, but no hookups (it's dry camping). North Grove has a dump station for emptying tanks. For full hookups (water, electric, sewer), head to Golden Pines RV Resort in Camp Connell. Stanislaus National Forest sites along the North Fork Stanislaus River are typically primitive with vault toilets. Fill your fresh water tank in Arnold before the climb, and use the dump station at North Grove on your way out so you return the rig clean.
parks.ca.gov/?page_id=551What's inside a typical motorhome rental Avery hosts list?
Most motorhome rentals near Avery come fully equipped for Sierra camping. Expect a queen bed plus convertible dinette and bunks (sleeps 4 to 7), a full kitchen with propane stove, fridge/freezer, microwave, and sink, a wet bath with toilet and shower, roof air conditioning, a propane furnace, and a generator or solar setup for boondocking. Many include outdoor speakers, awnings, camp chairs, and a TV; some offer Starlink Wi-Fi for spotty cell areas. Seatbelts match the sleep count, so families can ride safely. Ask the host to include their bedding and kitchen kit add-on, it saves you packing pots, sheets, and towels for the whole family RV trip Avery weekend.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Avery%2C%20CaliforniaWhat add-ons and pickup options should I expect when I rent an RV in Avery?
RVezy hosts in the Avery and Arnold area typically offer a flexible menu of add-ons: delivery and setup, generator hours, bedding and kitchen kits, camp chairs and outdoor rugs, bike racks, and even pre-stocked firewood. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Arnold, Murphys, or Angels Camp, or they'll deliver straight to your campground. Mileage policies vary by listing, so review yours before booking. Bundle delivery, setup, and a bedding kit on your first campervan rental Avery booking, you'll arrive at Calaveras Big Trees with nothing to do but relax and watch the sequoias.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Avery%2C%20CaliforniaHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure. You pay directly through RVezy when you book, no cash or checks change hands with the host, and your card is charged for the rental, protection plan, and any add-ons. The security deposit is separate from your booking payment and is typically held as a pre-authorization on your card before pickup, then released after your trip once the host confirms the RV came back in good shape. To avoid issues: do the pre-trip walkthrough with your host, follow the mileage and generator-hour limits in your contract, and return with tanks emptied. A quick video on return at the Avery driveway protects everyone.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhere do I dump tanks and refill water near Avery?
You've got easy options. The most convenient dump station and potable water fill near Avery is at North Grove Campground inside Calaveras Big Trees State Park (small fee for non-campers, just a few miles east on Highway 4). Glory Hole Recreation Area at New Melones Lake (about 35 miles west) also has dump facilities for registered campers. Golden Pines RV Resort in Camp Connell offers full hookups if you'd rather just plug in for the night. For fresh water on the road, fill up in Arnold before heading higher. Dump on the way out, not the way in, so you start your Sierra trip with empty gray and black tanks and a full fresh-water tank.
