Reserve your tent site on 15 exclusive, wooded-acres only 10 minutes from the entrance to Yosemite National Park. Once you've set up camp, you can explore the walking trails on the property and if you make it to the top, why not enjoy a lovely picnic with beautiful mountain views? Conveniently located across the highway from a gas station and a general store, you never have to worry about running out of ice or forgetting to bring the bug spray. If our base package isn't enough, as an "extra" we can have a tent set up and ready for you when you arrive. Whatever you're looking for, Yosemite's Doorstep is ready to provide the ideal camping experience to suit your needs.

Great site
Great site with amenities. Toilet, shower, lighting and table are provided and extremely helpful. Road noise is rather loud as it's about 100 yards from the main road. Gas station is walking distance as well and has everything you forgot to bring. This is a great site overall if you're planning to use it for day trips into the park. Don't expect to feel secluded or 'off grid' though. If that's what you're looking for, stay in the park! Jim was a great and helpful host. Would recommend.

Nice site 10 mins from Yosemite
Tent camping at Jim’s spot was great. The fire pit, 4 chairs, twinkle lights and warm outdoor shower were definitely perks! The site was clean and everything worked great and Jim is a responsive guy!

3/5 Stars
Overall, this was a good campsite. It was nice and secluded from others, although nobody was at site #2 for most of our stay. We enjoyed the fireplace and amenities and appreciated that the convenience store was right across the road. The shower was great for one night, but then broke. Jim came out and attempted to fix it the next day, but I don’t think he actually tested it because it still didn’t work. Some things were disappointing - no hammock as pictured (so I left ours at home) and we paid for the BBQ beforehand which he almost went back on providing, but I told him I’d already planned to use it so he ended up providing it. Host was good at communicating and camp was a couple minutes of driving down the road to a beautiful secluded river area. There’s no cell reception at the camp so download maps and trails before you go.

10/10 location
Amazing location right outside the park. General store across the street. Rush creek down the street with a bar and restaurant. All the essentials are at the campsite just bring a tent! Will definitely stay again in the future. 10/10
