Near Yosemite National Park
Within a 60-minute drive from the Big Oak Flat Entrance.
CLOSE TO YOSEMITE! Explore the mines and hang out on our Groveland, California ranch! We are 35 minutes to the main gate of Yosemite National Park. A great place to stay just outside of the park. We have 824 acres on a beautiful cattle ranch with two small ponds. On our property, you'll find frogs, turtles, oak trees, pine trees and stunning views of Yosemite. We have several campsites to choose from including RV camping, tent camping, and a glamping tent. Pets are welcome. Campfires are permitted as long as there is no fire ban. Potable water and toilet are available onsite. There's a golf course less than a mile away. We are also very close to town. In just a few minutes, you can drive to our local grocery store and pizza parlour. We are a 10-minute drive to Pine Mountain Lake. Beautiful Pine Mountain Lake offers golfing, dining, horseback riding, water sports and an airport. When you come to the ranch it feels like you are hundreds of miles away from civilization, but still close to everything you need. It is incredibly peaceful! This is a great place for someone who wants to escape city life and enjoy the tranquillity of nature. Much of the ranch is open wilderness for you to explore, and it's not uncommon to see deer, frogs, turtles, quail, turkeys, or other countless species of birds. Diamond Gulch Camp is the perfect place to relax if you’re a photographer, artist, family or a group of friends looking for a place to camp near Yosemite. A small portion of the property was used as a gold mine years ago, and you may find remnants of old home sites if you go exploring. We're not far from Wards Ferry Road, Groveland, Lake Don Pedro and other interesting places.

Site 3 - Walt’s Mining Camp 1893
Directions were very clear. John met us as soon as we arrived and let us pick the campsite. It was just us girls, we felt safe and John was very nice, he checked on us to see if we needed help setting up and brought us some firewood. Only 30 minutes from Yosemite. Very beautiful property! Can’t wait to go back! 10/10 would recommend!

Diamond Gulch Camp
Slice of heaven on the ranch
John and the dairy cattle are great hosts. Always around to make sure everything is up to standard. Super responsive and welcoming. Ton of space to make you feel secure but alone as you want to be. The proximity to Yosemite is top notch. Outdoor showers were the real cherry on top. Couldn’t recommend staying here more.

Favorite Campsite EVER!
We had the most wonderful time at this campground. We felt safe, welcomed, and had such a fun time with the unique experience that John has created here! We especially loved the creativity of the outdoor showers - we wanna make the same set up ourselves now! Our time here was exactly what we needed. John was also very helpful and responsive during our stay. We’ll definitely be back again!

Group Tent site camping (10 guests)
John was a fantastic host. There was more than enough room for our group of 12. Great birthday weekend! Perfect spot to see the rare Northern lights show :)
