Camping near Kerman, California
Kerman sits in Fresno County on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley, roughly 15 miles west of Fresno along Highway 180. The town works well as a base for RV travelers heading into the Central Valley, Yosemite, Sequoia, or Kings Canyon, with flat highways and easy fuel access in every direction.
Lodging options around Kerman are mostly long-stay RV parks rather than wilderness campgrounds. New Horizons Mobile/ RV Park and Fresno Mobile Home and RV Park serve travelers looking for full hookups close to town. The Lakes RV and Golf Resort and Arena RV Park add resort-style amenities for longer stays. For a true outdoor lake setting, Millerton Lake State Recreation Area campground has 135 campsites on a bluff overlooking Millerton Lake, many with great views, and campsites 117 through 143 have electric hookups. The Rocky Point, Mono, Fort Miller, and Duma Strand loops there are the closest public-land RV option to Kerman, about an hour northeast via Friant.

Established trails include the San Joaquin River Trail at 12.7 miles one-way, the moderate 3.3-mile Blue Oak Trail, the 2.0-mile North Shore Trail between Mono and Valley Oak campgrounds, and the strenuous 0.6-mile Buzzards Roost Trail. In the winter months, visitors can sign up for special boat tours to see the bald and golden eagles.

Kerman sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate. Summers are long and dry, winters are mild with most of the year's rain, and shoulder seasons are the most comfortable for outdoor time. July averages a high near 102°F and a low near 67°F, so daytime activity in mid-summer often shifts to the water or to early morning. Valley tule fog can settle in from late November through February, reducing visibility on Highway 99 and Interstate 5 and slowing RV travel.
At Millerton Lake, seasons drive which loops are open. Meadows Loop and Group Camps are open year-round, while all others open April through September. With warm springs, hot summers, and cool winters the region's temperate climate makes the campgrounds a great option for camping year-round. Spring brings green hills and wildflowers, summer brings peak lake use and heat, fall cools quickly with clear skies, and winter is the quietest season, with eagle-viewing boat tours as the headline activity. Wildfire smoke from the Sierra can affect air quality in late summer and early fall.
Top Hosts near Kerman, CA
My, 3 daughters and I stayed in this camper. It was dropped off at our campsite, set up and ready to go when we arrived. It was a great set up. Recommend bringing a garden hose to fill up water tank when getting low, there was one pan small frying pan for cooking and minimal kitchen utensils. So plan accordingly with that. They even loaned us a couple camping chairs and cooler since we were flying from across the country. Great hosts. I would definitely rent again.

Great camper! There were three of us and it offered plenty of space for us to spread out. Getting it delivered was very convenient, as a prior camper owner I know it's a lot of work to tow and setup so this is a huge perk. We chose a campground inside a national park that was dry camping (no other options and we are okay with dry camping bc we are very used to it). There was a slight miscommunication on both our parts, I shared the campground info but didn't mention it was dry camping and Celia didn't realize until the day before it was no hookups. They graciously made accommodations for us and we paid to have a generator there since there are no hookups. It worked out perfectly for us because we're used to using very minimal electric and water while camping. However I would say if you're dry camping and not used to it, this probably isn't the camper for you since it's technically not setup to dry camp (no batteries so the only way you have power is when you have the generator on). Would highly recommend this camper! Was a wonderful experience and would definitely do it again!!
