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!

Come camp at our family-run river rafting company basecamp. We have been in operation for 50 years as a rafting business and we are excited to share the Tuolumne River Canyon views with you during your stay! This is convenient for groups that want to be close to electricity and the bath house. You can walk a short ways to look into the canyon. This is a convenient site for those staying in a van or camper. Located by our bathhouse with easy access to hot showers and flushing toilets, and access to wi-fi, this site has all of the amenities you may need during your stay. This site is only for those staying in a van, camper, or car. There is no spot to pitch a tent around this site, it is van only. This site is perfect for people who prefer to be a very short distance from restrooms and showers and would like to have wi-fi available right at camp. If you are looking to plug in electricity, please let us know so we can make sure we can accommodate you.  We are located 15 minutes' driving distance from the entrance to Yosemite National Park (note that between May 20 to September 30th you will need a reservation to get into Yosemite) and 15 minutes driving to the historic town of Groveland. Our campsites offer sweeping views of 4 waterfalls, vibrant sunrises and sunsets, three different river canyons, and a classic Sierra Nevada foothills ecosystem.  We are less than 5 minutes away from Rainbow Pools, a local swimming hole, and 5 minutes away from the Lucky Buck, a tasty diner. We are more than happy to give you suggestions on places to explore around Yosemite, Stanislaus National Forest, and Groveland.

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.
