Indian Flat RV Park

Hassle free. Nothing to complain!!! Nice distance from Yosemite. Would like to come back!!!

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Indian Flat RV Park for our anniversary trip at Yosemite Park. It's only a couple minutes away from the park entrance which made it super convenient. We were luckily able to check in a bit earlier at 2pm. Their office also has a store for you to purchase any last minute items (sunblock, water, firewood. Etc). We got the basic tent (#301) and it was pretty nice! Comes with a bed, electricity and a mini fridge. Unfortunately there is no fire pit outside but we used the bbq grill as a fire pit. We also had a mini table on the outside. The bathrooms are well kept and clean. The showers were free which was nice but the water didn't seem to get too hot. There's a couple of reasons why I docked down a couple stars. Even though we stayed in a tent, it did get pretty cold so I recommend bringing extra blankets and layers. There is also absolutely 0 service in this area. You can buy wifi for $10 a day (for 2 devices) but we didn't find it to be worth it. The biggest thing to look out for is BEARS. Granted we are in bear country but I didn't expect to run into them every night of our stay (2 nights). My boyfriend and I think the bears are pretty used to coming this campsite. There are signs everywhere on the campground warning about bears but it seems like some folks don't follow those rules - I would be careful walking around late at night. We were about 10 feet away from 1 the first night. With that being said, this was a pretty good campsite but I don't know if I would come back because of the bears (esp if you have to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom).

This was such a wonderful, fun stay! We planned a holiday weekend hiking around Yosemite National Park and missed the memo about how people book their lodging in the park eight months in advance! Geez! Therefore, we were looking for nearby options just outside of the park, and was so pleased to find Indian Flat RV Park. Indian Flat RV Park is a campsite that offers lots for RVs, tents and has their exclusive and basic tents. We booked one of their basic tents, which was definitely great and goes above than having your own tent, as the basic tent is already set up for you. The tent included a comfortable, queen-size bed, mini-fridge, ceiling fan, toiletries, towels, and there was also a small outdoor space to sit out on the deck or use a picnic table and grill that's designated for those with a basic tent. Because this is a campsite, you do have to share the bathroom and showers, but hey, you're out in the beautiful, countryside and are most likely here to hike around Yosemite so suck it up, buttercup. The bathrooms and showers were generally clean and I never had to wait. They do have private bathrooms for each gender, or a shared bathroom area and outdoor showers. I liked using the outdoor shower better where you look up and see the trees and open sky. If that doesn't scream wilderness then I don't know what does. Wifi is available for $10/day for up to two devices (but you should really just get off your device and enjoy the amazing scenery!).Although the site doesn't have a pool, they've partnered up with the neighboring hotel where Indian Flat campers can use the indoor and outdoor pool for free. There was also a restaurant and bar there, which made getting coffee and breakfast handy when we'd leave for the park before sunset. I would happily stay at Indian Flat RV Park again! Just outside of Yosemite National Park, it's located in the town of El Portal, which is half an hour away from the Yosemite Valley entrance. We had a blast here and it was a comfortable stay, especially after hours of hiking and exploring. Thank you, Indian Flat RV Park!

I would definitely come back here on my next Yosemite trip. When I was booking lodging, the basic tent was the only option available for $125/night. This RV park is located 10-15 away from the Yosemite NP entrance. Besides the basic tent, they also have RV spots and regular camping sites. It was fun driving by and seeing all the campfires and the tailgating groups. I felt safe the entire time there.We went in mid October and it was pretty cold. Don't be fooled by the basic tent thinking it is insulated because it is not. It does keep out the rain and protects you from wind, but it does get cold so pack accordingly. One night was 39 degrees. The amenities were great. Bed was comfy. Plenty of shampoo and body wash for our stay. Mini fridge was nice although we didn't really needed it.The shared amenities were sink, bathrooms and showers. Showers have hot water which was a godsend. Bathrooms were aplenty. There were 4 sinks and for the most part I never really had to wait to use one. I saw people using the sinks for brushing their teeth, washing dishes, and washing clothes. This RV park is dog friendly. I saw a few dogs loose and running around a few times. I wish they were more strict on keeping these pets on leashes.One thing I wished I was more aware of is that there is absolutely NO phone reception in El Portal. You have to purchase wifi or be completely disconnected. It's $10/night for two devices. I went to the Yosemite View Lodge for dinner (Parkside Pizza) and they had the same wifi issue and same wifi package. Next time I'd be interested in asking about their deluxe cabins. Perhaps they have heaters?

For $30 per night for a tent site, I feel I got my money's worth. Toilets, sinks, showers always appeared clean. Campsites were not cleared of trash after campers left. You can use the pool, restaurant next door. They offer $9.99 per day internet through a third party. I did not use the facility next door or the internet. I stayed on tent site #14. The row I was in had mature shade trees.Tent sites are literally the size of a mall parking space. No problems with staff or reservations. Note weather at campground is warmer than Yosemite. It is a fine campground.

My boyfriend & I stayed here this past weekend as a birthday trip. We rented one of their tent cabins & it was honestly pretty cute. Very simple, nothing over the top so if you don't like stuff like that maybe this wouldn't be the place for you. The room we had included a ceiling fan, fridge, bed (duh lol), pull out bed, & some night stands, but other than that no microwave which didn't really matter to me. Only had one outlet to charge our phones so that was a little inconvenient but the reception out there is terrible so we couldn't use out phones much anyway. WiFi is available but you have to pay $8.99 every 12 hours so after one day I had to pass. We're out in nature so why be on our phones anyway? This place is right next to the Merced River so it's super peaceful at night hearing the stream. Right underneath our tent (it was supported by some pillars sort of thing) there was a small stream as well so that added to the peacefulness. Be advised though that since they're tents you can hear ALL the noise going on everywhere lol They're located about 15 mins from Yosemite so that was pretty convenient to me. There weren't too many options of restaurants around the area aside from the Cedar Lodge restaurant next door to them so we ate there both days. I believe the closest town to them is about a 30 min drive but if you're inside Yosemite National Park there's little stores in there too. If you choose to stay here DO NOT forget to look up at the sky at night! The view from here is breathtaking!

Great RV stay. Very spacious spaces and full hookups. You get a big bench with more than enough space to put out a slide out and awning all the way. Very quiet and staff was nice. It was also nice to feel welcomed to the lodge as well as there was amenities to them. One thing I would say to prepare for is the temperature on weather apps are not very accurate. We had pipes freeze up multiple times when it said the lowest it would get in the night was high 30's. Make sure to have a tank full before going to bed in case it takes a while for the pipes to thaw. Other than that, no complaints. They even handled our packages delivered very well and it was all very affordable and close to Yosemite which was the best part of it all!

Private restrooms and kitchenette as advertised on the website? Nah. Desk clerk said website is wrong. They would not move us to the Lodge, 110 in the bathroom less tent. Miserable experience. Don't go here at all, what a waste of our Yosemite trip!!!! We were not prepared for tent camping.

All I could say is that I got my moneys worth and definitely come back prices and shower and bathroom are perfect

Obviously the people that manage this property do not have the slightest idea of what an RV park user needs. The spot was super short and I had to unhook my truck from the the trailer cuz there isn't space. Mind you this is in November and needed to charge the battery to keep the heater/fridge running. There was no firepit or picnic table. The website said Wifi and water include, no. WiFi was an additional charge and no cell phone service. The attendant did not even look up from his phone or acknowledge me though out my check in. The entrance was quite steep and upon departure my hitch drug across the black top, there was no way of taking it at a different angle. I would have been better off in a roadside rest stop.
