From grasslands to mountains, a range of California landscapes awaits on Merced RV adventures.
Midway between Modesto and Fresno, Merced is a jumping-off point to explore the vast beauty of California's interior, and it's well situated for an RV roadtrip. Local RV campsites make it easy to enjoy a day trip into the mountains for hiking, biking, fishing, and rock climbing. A 90-minute drive takes campers to Yosemite National Park, where hiking trails wind through towering sequoia forests for a view of Bridalveil Fall. While forest campsites inside the park are often unable to accommodate larger motorhomes, RV parks and Hipcamps just outside Yosemite and Sierra National Forest offer greater flexibility with partial and full hookups, washrooms, and dump stations. Although central California’s warm climate makes RV camping comfortable year-round, the most popular months are April, May, September, and October, when RVers can avoid the summer heat and occasional winter storms in the mountains.
