Sequoia and Yosimite campgrounds

Any suggestions of campgrounds or RV parks near each of these parks?
We have a 30ft 5th wheel.

Thanks

From Dorst, it is an easy hike to Muir Grove -- not quite as easy in the winter, though:



And no, this is not a trick shot -- those trees are really that big. DW is in the bottom center of the photo.

Dorst Creek in Sequoia NP is the only campground in the Park that takes reservations. In addition it is only open three months, and thus still has a nice feel to it if you arrive early in the summer. The main loop for rvs is crazy with generators and the lot, however site #105, in loop B is a 70' pull thru, no generators, and just outstanding. The trees are amazing.

For Yosemite, Wawona is the place for us, the valley is just insane. Site #53 is along the river, and not as crowded as other sites. This is a roadside site, and I use three planks to level up.

Both Parks have different booking windows, best if you reserve at 7 a.m. when the window opens.

Our 5er is 30' as well.

We used Sequoia RV Ranch, also in Three Rivers. It was OK; lots of mosquitoes in July and weak WiFi signal and then only near the office. If you want to enter Sequoia/Kings Canyon from Three Rivers you'll most likely need to leave the 5th wheel behind; there is a length restriction entering Sequoia NP from this end.

Azalea Campground, right near Grant Grove, is ok for big rigs -- take 180, a good road. Then explore with your tow vehicle. Azalea is at almost 7000 feet -- it is open all year, but there is snow in the winter:

The village of Three Rivers is just outside the south entrance to Sequoia National Park and has at least three rv campgrounds. We like Kaweah Park best out of the three. If you could get reservations at a campground in Yosemite it would be great. We have stayed at the Mariposa KOA for our visits to Yosemite.
