Overview
Overview
SKP Park of the Sierras in Coarsegold, California offers travelers a distinct basecamp situated in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada range. This property reflects the rugged terrain and natural topography characteristic of the region, providing a rugged landscape for road-trippers and explorers traversing central California. The surrounding environment sets a tranquil mood dominated by native oaks, dry grasses, and rolling granite hills typical of Madera County.
Location & Surroundings
Positioned along the Highway 41 corridor, this location places visitors amid classic foothill terrain where the elevation begins rising toward the high Sierra.

Really specially place. We have been RVing all over the country for three months. This is head and shoulders one of the best RV locations we have visited. The sites are palatial, wooded and tiered to provide views. The staff are friendly and helpful. The amenities are awesome. The dog park is excellent. 100% repeatable.

My wife and I have recently became full timers and we found Park of the Sierras one day searching for places to stay with full hook ups on the internet. We have lived in Fresno for 40 + years and didn’t know this place existed. One day we took a drive and met Dave the camp manager and he was so welcoming. He explained who they were and took us on a tour of the many amenities they had to offer but then he told us that the park was a membership park through escapee’s and that we could also buy in as owners in the park. He encouraged us to stay a few times to get a feel for the park and the people before making a decision so we did. The people here a so friendly and the staff is incredibly helpful and nice. We stayed for 9 days and after meeting the people here we can’t wait to come back. Laundry room was very clean the clubhouse is huge with pool tables, gym, darts, a library, and a full kitchen for club cooking events. Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to enjoy the calendar events due to most of our time was getting things fixed in Fresno but we did enjoy our evening walks through the park and meeting people. We became members of Escapee’s and our next step is to stay a full month in October and become owners in the park. When you buy in, you get an assigned site with a storage unit on site, you volunteer your time as the park in maintained by the group of owners and your assigned to a community that meets your area of expertise. Very appealing for being retired to keep busy. Thank you all for such a great time Sincerely John & Nancy

SKP Park of the Sierras is only 23 miles to the Yosemite South gate to see the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. The SKP park was very nice and the people were friendly. We stayed for a week and it was a great base camp or even would be a great place to stay for longer periods of time.

It doesn't get any better! I'm a full-timer who has camped in every state. I love coming back here when in California. There are tons of events in the clubhouse and fantastic people.

We enjoyed our visit so much! Every single person we met was kind and helpful. They have a beautiful clubhouse with many games and activities. The lit pickleball court made it easier to play in the cooler evenings after we were done with our daily travels. Large spots with very nice landscaping.
