Space 17 at The Forks Campground
Lori M.

We camped in space 17 from 5/27-6/1 and loved the campground. It was clean and quiet. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. Showers are available a short drive away at Miller's Landing ($4 for 5 min). The lake is full and we even caught a trout. Campground is a short walk to the Forks Resort (burgers and onion rings are amazing). We hiked the Way of the Mono trail, visited Yosemite, enjoyed the waterfalls, fished, loved Casa Velasco, stocked up on honey at the Wednesday Farmer's Market, saw eagles, deer, duck, geese, frogs, squirrels, raccoons & 1 trout, and wished we could stay longer.

Note: Fills up quickly, we made reservations at least 6 months in advance at 7am in the morning! At that time, more than half of the sites were already reserved. We camped here end of July 2014 at campsite #3. The campsite included a picnic table, a fire pit, and was large enough for 2 tents. The best part of this campsite is that, for the most part, you are in the shade (we still brought a canopy) and a short walk up to the bathroom. In addition, you are walking distance to the lake, store/restaurant, and showers ($3/5 mins). Per our cousins who camp here every year, the water levels were really low. Still, not a bad of a walk, plus the water was nice and warm! On our last night, we all took a walk to the store and bought ice cream shakes. Great way to end our camping trip. I can't wait to go back!

Campsite #9. Was actually the biggest campsite, with the most flat land.

Ask the Community - Forks Campground

Is this area easy to get to for bigger trailers? We have a 35 foot 5th wheel. Is it all dry camping too?

Are there bear-proof lockers in this camp? If not, what is the recommended way to store your food overnight?

There are no bear boxes at this campground. We kept our coolers and food in our tent trailer.

We rented a patio boat for a couple hours ahead of the holiday weekend craziness…read more The staff was so friendly and helpful. Tracy in the booking office was efficient and professional. We had the best time. Here's hoping the holiday isn't too crazy and all your care and kindness doesn't go unnoticed! Thanks for making it so wonderful for us.

We rented two single kayaks from Bass Lake Water Sports. The good: we got there waaaaaay early and…read morethey accommodated us. Of course we got there way early because the instructions said arrive an hour before your appointment time. Good little soldiers we, arrived at 8:02 for our 9am paddle. By 8;10 they wanted to know if we wanted to get breakfast first or just go. Pffft! Lemme at it. The other good: okay, it's the Sierra Nevada. How can it not be glorious on a lake? Buuuuuut... here comes the bad: waiting, waiting, waiting at the end for someone to notice we came back. I blew my requisite emergency whistle twice in frustration and still nothing. Probably ten minutes of employees not seeing us, or maybe preoccupied with the gasoline powered craft. Which brings me to the next maybe not bad but not great... we were the only people who didn't need to sign the disclosure that we had to pay for our fuel separately. That, in and of itself isn't so bad... but it meant this 3.5 mile lake was choppier than some oceans on which we've kayaked. Constant wake. We had to stay on the shore side of the large orange buoys, and the motorized pontoon boats, sea-doos, jet boats with water skis... they were on the other side. It's like when I was a kid flying 11 hours LAX - LHR in the 1970s and the smoking section's boundary changed based on the ratio of smokers. Yeah, there was segregation but hoo, didn't make a lotta difference. Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy. Still, we're on the lake, it's a beautiful day, what's not to love? The ugly wasn't appalling by any stretch but it wasn't great either, and it's the reason I'd rate this place 3 of 5 stars. It got the job done but I didn't see any evidence that people cared. The kayak was dirty and had trash in/on it - half a paddle padding torn off and river weeds. The paddle was held together with peeling electrical tape, had only one drip ring with no padding (maybe sitting on the prow?) and the paint was chipping off. And the drink holder was half full of slimy river water. Blech. Who wants to risk drinking nasty water running down your bottle? For $250 for two hours, I would expect better.

Me and my wife came in on a Saturday January 31 after lunch at bass lake. We met Jason Who was the…read moresales person. As we came into the building he introduced himself and He Ask if we needed any water or needed to use the restrooms? Not many people ask if we need bottle water, if we want room temperature or refrigerator cold bottle water. That was a plus. As we were looking at boats with Jason, he was so polite & went beyond our expectations. We looked at two boats and found the one we wanted. We also met Jack the owner which he was amazing and Very down to earth. Can't say anything negative about this place. They were very professional and personal to me and my wife. We put a money down for the boat we wanted and started the loan process. Which was a Breeze, was Nothing like purchasing a car. It was Very easy. We came back that Friday to get our boat. We actually got to meet the team that works there. Such an amazing place and great people. Everyone was very personal, they joked and the laughed with us. It was like we were family. Jason helped us with getting extra stuff that we were going to need for our boat. They showed us how to work the boat, how to put on the Bimini top on, how to attach and how to take down. We never felt they were in rush to get us out of there. They answered questions we had. They are a top notch boat dealership. If you are looking for a boat to buy use or new. This is the place. Can't wait to come back to bring in our boat for service. Or to just say hi to everyone. Thank you to everyone who helped out with getting us ready to enjoy our boat. Best decision ever!! See you soon!!

Sent a email as a goof. Ed contacted me and depsite being almost 5 hours away, we had a great deal on a pontoon and a trade in for our old boat. When we arrived, Jason showed us everything we needed to know about our new pontoon and put us at ease about the large purchase. He even gave us his cell number if we had any questions. Financing was easy. Everyone was really nice and inviting. Really, the got us in our dreamboat. It was a 13 hour round trip from our house but 100% worth it. Dont be afraid to reach out and make a drive. We hope to never part with our new pontoon, but if we ever need to upgrade, we're going back.

I've been fly fishing for over twenty years, this was THE WORST EXPERIENCE with a guide service…read moreever... I NEVER MADE IT TO THE WATER. I've had good luck with Orvis endorsed guides, which is why I had confidence to select. Don't. Do yourself a favor and go with another guide service. Details I booked (and paid) for my trip six months in advance, called a week before I left, and touched base again upon arrival. Note, I was not contacted by Jimmy or his staff once after booking the trip. THE NIGHT BEFORE MY TRIP, I learned that Jimmy lost my booking and had no details about the trip and in addition was injured and could not guide me himself, but offered to book a new guide for the next morning. Two guides later, a plan was set... I purchased a fishing license and drove an hour to the rendezvous calling the guide, Lyle, while in route. (Cell service in Yosemite is unreliable at best, so take it when you can get it...). The guide advised me he had a flat and would be fifteen minutes late. While waiting in the meeting spot, which was a regular meet up for local guides, I began talking to a few people. Specifically, I told them that my guide had picked up a nail in his tire and was running late.... They told me my guide's name and said this wasn't the first time he had "picked up a nail", as they'd heard this excuse within the last week. AFTER WAITING FOR MY GUIDE FIR FORTY MNUTES after the meet up time, I left. I followed up with a request for refund. I told him that he was given ample opportunity to make it right and he didn't. And no, there was never a refund offered.
