Listed as one of the RV parks near Yosemite National Park, Yosemite Ridge Resort RV sits in Groveland and offers large sites that can accommodate any size RV or slideout. All sites have 30/50 amp service, water, sewer and satellite TV. Most sites have excellent shade and a great view of the surrounding mountains.

The location works well if you’re planning to explore Yosemite but need a pet-friendly base. Pets are allowed in the RV sites as long as they’re on a leash and not left unattended anywhere in the park. You’ll need to pick up after your dog on the property. It’s worth noting upfront that Yosemite National Park itself has a very restrictive pet policy—dogs can only visit certain areas and can’t be left alone at all—so this resort makes sense as a home base where your dog can stay more comfortably while you explore the park or take turns watching them.

Groveland is about an hour’s drive from the park’s main entrances, which gives you enough distance that the RV park feels quieter than you’d get camping right at the edge. You’re still positioned to make day trips without a long drive in the morning. The mountain views from the sites are genuine—you’re looking at Sierra Nevada landscape rather than a parking lot.

The shaded sites are a real plus during hot summer months when you’re parked for the day. Having full hookups (water, sewer, power) means you’re not dealing with the logistics that make RVing with dogs complicated. Your dog can have water access easily, and you’re not rationing water for baths or cleanup after muddy trail walks.

If you’re traveling with a dog and want flexibility to explore Yosemite without worrying about pet restrictions at every turn, this gives you a functional setup. Just remember the Yosemite pet rules are genuinely strict, so plan accordingly for where your dog can actually go during park visits.
