Welcome to Camp SourBerry! Here, you can park your home-on-wheels in a private space with a view. You can enjoy the feeling of rural seclusion while within walking distance (~1 mile) from shops and restaurants in Oakhurst. The South Gate to Yosemite National Park is less than a 30-minute drive (~75 minutes drive-time to the Valley floor), and Bass Lake's shores are only 15 minutes away. Local wildlife is abundant. Wild turkeys are a common sighting, especially in the spring and fall, as are squirrels, bears, deer, coyotes, and bobcats, plus all kinds of native birds (hawks, quail, jays, woodpeckers, ravens, vultures, and eagles). We have a small homestead-style farm and so do the neighbors, so you can hear the distant sounds of chickens, turkeys, sheep, goats, and cows. Because the safety of our animals (and yours) is paramount, we do not allow other pets to visit. The parking location is an ease pull-through for passenger vehicles and shorter trailers. People with longer, taller trailers find it easier to pull-in and back out. The best view is on the passenger side of the drive! Whether you want to stay put and enjoy the natural setting or have a base from which to explore world-class attractions, we would love to host your next vacation.

Chelsea was a very helpful host, communicating directions clearly and offering to assist, if needed. The location was nice and peaceful. You can hear cows, roosters and the occasional dog in the distance. It's great she allows dogs, but I suggest keeping them out of the uncut grass around the parking area. Prickly seeds covered our dog and it took about 2 hours to remove them all. Other than that, it was a nice stay.

Lots of room to relax
Excellent site, lots of space, lots of shade, and lots of stars. There were a lot of yellow-jackets, but they weren't aggressive. The dirt road to the site was passable by "two-wheel drive with bald tires." Would absolutely recommend.

Yosemite Serenity on the Farm
A quiet, serene and secluded space not far from the southern entrance to Yosemite. This beautiful farm space has you atop a hill with open skies, trees and brush all around. Watching the sky go pink and red all around at dusk, with roosters crowing in the distance...this will be etched in my mind. If you want to escape the crowds of the nearby campgrounds and enjoy the escape, this place is for you. Chelsea and her husband do a great job caring for the property. It's a space, a picnic table and - when not in high fire risk season - a lovely fire pit and chairs. In the morning, Chelsea invited us to bring our child by to meet and feed her ewes, and even helped us get some farm fresh eggs. She's so nice and really cares about providing a great experience. Supermarkets and charming shops 10 minutes away, Mariposa Grove entrance about 30 minutes, and Bass Lake for swimming, boating and Sea Doo-ing 15 minutes away (I recommend lunch at Ducey's). Would return and recommend!

Great and calm close to yosemite
Great place to stay!!! Unfortunately, we has very high temperatures, which made it not easy with three young kids and no electric connection. Luckily, the temperature falls quickly at the end of the day. The spot is really calm and wonderful! Thanks Chelsea for all nice advices and support!

Nice place
a safe place for camping small groups, protected and very quiet just a few minutes from the city and the lake, just don't forget to bring insect repellent, traps for bees because many arrive in the morning to collect honey, at night there are quite a few crickets that They catch on in the tents but it is normal in the forest, just as a recommendation to bring something for all types of insects.
