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.

Great.
Beautiful site! Great experience. Wife and kids said they wanted to come back to this campground when we return to Yosemite. John was a great host. Plentiful firewood was a big plus.

Site 1 - Walt’s Mining Camp 1893
Very quiet, friendly, up and coming campground off the beaten path. Great for those looking to recharge and relax. John is still adding more to the campground, which will be an amazing place once complete. We had minimal difficulty getting our 32' Class C into the space. It was fun to see the cows as morning visitors!

Amazing Yosemite base camp
Absolutely amazing spot!! So much land and beautiful scenery. The cows and wildlife was amazing. John was so accommodating and helpful for me to find the spot. I loved my little site and set up. The stars were so amazing and John provided all the wood needed to stay warm. Loved my stay will be back!!
