Not quite there, but very nice, is Marble Quarry RV park, about 4 hours east
and in the Sierra Nevada foothills.  Marble Quarry is a very nice park
located within walking distance of the historic town of Columbia, and within
an hour or so of Yosemite.

It's definitely worth the drive if you plan on spending a few days.
