Welcome to Yosemite Colfax Spring! Home to a basecamp for river rafting trips during the summertime, we are located 15 minutes driving distance to the entrance to Yosemite National Park. If you are staying with us between May - September and want to come rafting, ask us about our river trips! Our camp sits on a ridge with views down into the Tuolumne River Canyon. The Tuolumne River begins at 13,000 feet of elevation in the High Country of Tuolumne Meadows and provides drinking water for over 2.7 million people in San Francisco. With cedar and pine trees, manzanita bushes, and wildflowers in the spring, enjoy the Sierras' flora and fauna. Our family has been operating our river rafting company for over 50 years, the last 11 of those years being here at Colfax Spring. Conveniently located off Highway 120, we are in close proximity to swimming holes, hikes, and more. Enjoy the privacy of our campsite and getting world-class views to yourself, with all of the amenities (flushing toilets, wi-fi, showers.) Make sure to check the Yosemite National Park website for information about reservations to visit the park!

This campsite offers an exceptional experience with its breathtaking views and convenient proximity to Yosemite National Park. Guests consistently praise the cleanliness and quality of the facilities, likening the bathrooms to those in a hotel. The hosts are described as responsive, helpful, and welcoming, enhancing the overall stay. While the location is near a road, and some mention a desire for more privacy between sites, these are minor points in an otherwise overwhelmingly positive set of reviews.

Excellent campsites near Yosemite
I loved camping on Liza and Tom's land. The Merced campsite was clean and spacious, with excellent views. Marty runs the place with them, and was very welcoming and helpful. The location is just a few minutes from the western entry to Yosemite. The campsites are well laid-out, and toilet/bath facilities are excellent and well-maintained. I wholeheartedly recommend Colfax Spring as a camping home base to explore this great park.

Great stay! Cozy, quiet, and calm. Only 20-30 mins from the Yosemite NP entrance. I found this spot at the last minute for a spontaneous trip to Yosemite and it was a hidden gem! Highly recommend.

(4) Main Tuolumne Camp
We loved everything about this stay. We were two and two dogs in a 21’ camper van and stayed in #4 with a view of the waterfall. Having walked around the camp we would have been happy in any of the sites. The host greeted us upon bathrooms and was welcoming. The showers are spacious and spectacular. It’s close to the park but far enough out to get a more private camping experience. This is at the top of our list and we hope to return.
