Club Royal Oak sits right on the Kings River just three miles east of Highway 99 near Kingsburg, making it convenient if you’re passing through Fresno County but want to feel like you’ve actually escaped somewhere. The resort has been around for over fifty years, and it shows in the thoughtfully planted grounds—there are nearly 200 mature shade trees spread across the property, which matters when you’re parked in the Central Valley heat. Some sites span over 8,000 square feet, giving you real room to spread out with your dog.

The riverfront location is the main draw. Thirty-six sites sit right along the water with private beach access, and there’s a boat launch if you’re into that. Even if you’re not, your dog will appreciate the proximity to the river for exploring and cooling off. All RV sites have both 30 and 50 amp service, and WiFi reaches throughout the property. The gated entrance means security is taken seriously, which creates a genuinely quiet, peaceful atmosphere.

The facilities are solid. The bathrooms feature granite counters and limestone tile, and there’s a substantial clubhouse with a fitness center, which appeals to the rally groups that regularly gather here. The resort hosts the annual Flat Bottom Boogie and Boat Show, so if those events interest you, plan accordingly.

Dogs are welcome, though the resort does have breed restrictions, so you’ll need to verify yours ahead of time. There’s a dog park onsite for off-leash time. To get there from Highway 99, take the Sierra Exit (Exit 112) and head east about three miles, then turn right on Road 28 and follow the signs. The location works well if you’re breaking up a longer drive or want a reliable spot in the agricultural heartland with actual river access rather than just a parking lot.
