RV Parks Near Yosemite: Full Hookups & In-Park Camping (2026)Indian Flat is the closest RV campground to Yosemite Valley that offers hookups. Sitting on Highway 140 in El Portal, it is just minutes from the Arch Rock entrance and about 14 miles from the Valley floor. That proximity is its defining advantage — you can be standing at the base of Yosemite Falls within 25 minutes of pulling out of your site.
The campground has 25 RV sites with water and electric hookups (some with sewer), plus 25 tent sites. The park accommodates RVs up to about 35 feet. Facilities include fire pits at each site, restrooms, and outdoor showers. As a guest, you also get access to the swimming pool at the adjacent Cedar Lodge, including a heated indoor pool — a genuine perk after a day of hiking.
The setting along the Merced River is attractive, with oak-studded hillsides and the sound of the river in the background. The sites are more rustic than resort-style, and the overall vibe is relaxed and unfussy.
The limitations are real. With only 25 RV sites, Indian Flat books up fast during peak season — reserve well in advance for summer dates. The 35-foot RV limit means larger Class A rigs will not fit. And El Portal itself is tiny — a gas station, Cedar Lodge, and not much else. For groceries or restaurants, you are driving to Mariposa (30 miles) or into the park.
