This is not the kind of place we're naturally drawn to but we'd been boondocking for a while and needed to find a place to dump tanks, do laundry and fill up on water.

We're new Escapees members so we decided to check it out. I originally reserved two nights, and they blocked out a week for the site. Good thing they did as it turns out we enjoyed our stay here so much we extended a couple of days!Site 204 wasn't very private but there's much more space between sites than a typical RV park. The overall park is large, hilly and covered with Manzanita and Oak trees. There's a nice (hilly) trail circumventing the park that we hiked most days.The staff and residents of the park made this stay extra enjoyable - our rig stands out in a place like this so we ended up meeting a lot of great people as they were out walking or driving by. Not a single bad interaction.One passerby mentioned our site had "good karma" and was perfect for our adventure RV as the previous owners/residents (now deceased) of the site were adventure travelers, who, at one time, lived on a sailboat and sailed the Pacific. I felt the good vibes...

SKP Park of the Sierras is a beautiful Escapees park. We stayed here as a launching point for Bass Lake and Yosemite National Park; the location is great.This is a co-op park meaning all residence contribute their time in the upkeep and overall well-being of the park.

We stayed here as a launching point for Bass Lake and Yosemite National Park; the location is great.This is a co-op park meaning all residence contribute their time in the upkeep and overall well-being of the park. Pride in this park really shows in everyone we met here.Pat is the tour guide of the park and gave us a wonderful tour around the property in her golf cart. She is a wealth of knowledge around the history of the park and that of the founding residents. Ask for a tour with Pat, she’s awesome.Upon arrival a very nice man, David Burkhardt, drove me through the route we’d be taking to our site prior to us towing the fifth wheel through the park. It was nice to get a lay of the land, so to speak, rather than going in blind. We then followed David to the site with our rig. Some of the turns were tight for our 38 footer but we managed without so much as touching a branch or curb thanks to David’s guidance.We later found out the lady checking us in at the office was David’s wife. Very nice couple and we can’t wait to see them again on our next visit. In fact, all of the residence we met were super nice and even invited us to all the social events. Although work kept us pretty busy it was nice to be invited. Overall the park is very nice. Secluded sites with full hookups including free WiFi and free cable TV. There were several WiFi Hotspots throughout the park and were lucky enough to have one just across from our site, #540. We were able to work and stream using the park WiFi, something we’ve never been able to do in an RV park before.Club house, laundry and dog park are welcoming and clean. Laundry could use some updating but it worked well and our clothes came out clean. However, if you have laundry facilities in your rig you won’t be using them here. The park is very strict about what goes into the septic system; washing machines and dishwashers are prohibited. We thought this was a bit strange but we have neither of those in our rig so it wasn’t a bid deal for us.Only real draw back we felt was around "resident only" mail service in this park so you must use the Coarsegold post office for general delivery. Even though we saw UPS and FedEx delivering in the park we were told that was for residents only. Not sure how they could keep you from receiving those deliveries to your site but that’s what we were told.As far as cost, we used the “$50 off first week” coupon we received when joining Xscapers bringing our weekly total to $62 plus $25 for the electric we used. Even without the coupon @ ~$140 for a week is still a very good rate for Escapees/Xscapers members.Dry camping is also an option if passing through. First night is free then $5 per night after that with a 7 day limit. They even have water and a dump station at the dry camping area inside the park.Our cell coverage was good in this park as well. Verizon was the strongest but AT&T and T-Mobile worked fine too.We truly enjoyed our time at the Park of the Sierras and will definitely stay again when in the area.

We had a wonderful stay at this Escapees Park. The check-in went very smoothly. We were greeted at the office and given all the information we needed. Offered a tour and given a very warm welcome. We were guided to our spot and given assistance (thank you Chris) backing in. I can't say enough about how welcoming we were received. ...moreWe had a wonderful stay at this Escapees Park. The check-in went very smoothly. We were greeted at the office and given all the information we needed. Offered a tour and given a very warm welcome. We were guided to our spot and given assistance (thank you Chris) backing in. I can't say enough about how welcoming we were received. During our walks within the park we saw plenty of wildlife. Everyday we were visited by a number of quail and also saw deer a few times.We used this as a base camp to explore the surrounding area as well as day trips into Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. PRO-TIP - They have ice cream bars in the club house for $1.00 :)

It is a very large well established park. Lots of rolling hills and mature landscaping. Upon arrival, a manger drove us to our site in a golf cart. He explained all the turns and how best to line up. We then went back and picked up the trailer and followed him to our site. Even with hills and turns, we had no issues. This park is full hookup, has a nice laundry room ($1.00 per load) and nice clubhouse. They offer propane twice a week. Unfortunately we missed the day but they said it wasn't a problem. Manager picked me up and drove me to the parks propane station. An hour later, they delivered our propane bottle. Can not say enough good things about the staff and residents at this park. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome.

We spent some time here visiting with a friend who owns a lot. This is a lovely, rustic park with full hook-up sites among the oak trees. It is an Escapees membership/owner type park and you are renting an empty spot who's owner is not present. You must be an Escapees member or guest of one of the lot owners to stay here.

It is an Escapees membership/owner type park and you are renting an empty spot who's owner is not present. You must be an Escapees member or guest of one of the lot owners to stay here. We had a large, quiet site with a nice wooden deck. Some of the other loops are closer to the highway where there was a lot of traffic noise. Bathroom, showers and laundry are immaculate. There is a small library and exercise equipment in the clubhouse. Residents were very friendly and helpful. They have lots of daily activities but we didn't participate although we were invited to join. Wifi worked well. With the hilly paved roads and dirt trails on the adjacent undeveloped land by the creek you can easily do a five mile walk. The south entrance to Yosemite is about 60 miles away so it's possible to take day trips into the park from here. Nearest real grocery stores are in Oakhurst, 18 miles north, but there is a small market and restaurants in nearby Coarsegold.
