People loved the space so much that we decided to build this cozy cabin and host other guests as well... The hot tub can be filled with fresh water and be heated by wood and/or be filled using the on demand hot water heater. The private outdoor shower is in a beautiful garden setting.

Just message me if you need an earlier check in! Free firewood! We are 30 minutes to the main gate of Yosemite National Park. A great place to stay just outside of the park. Be near the park, but feel that complete privacy. These sites are very spaced out from each other and are large. No need to cram together! Explore the mines and hang out on our Groveland, California ranch! 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.

We have 155 acres of the Sierra foothills just ~12 minutes from downtown Murphys. This is a working farm where we specialize in cut flowers and also grow a little food. When available we offer bouquets/eggs/veggies as an add-on. There are a few different listings, so make sure to read the details on your specific listing! -End of The Driveway -1 Pine -2 Pine The End of The Driveway is one big site for buses/RVs/big vans next to the Soup Kitchen. 1 Pine and 2 Pine are up a separate driveway on the ridge. The driveway spot is down the driveway a couple hundred yards from where we usually are so you’ll more or less be on your own, depending on if we have work to do down there or if there are other campers. We are happy to chat or leave you be, just let us know what your needs are. If you’re looking for a more isolated spot, see the listings for 1 Pine or 2 Pine. The 2nd area is “1 Pine” accessed by our second driveway that is 100 yards down the road from the farm. The driveway is kind of rough but definitely manageable with a truck, SUV or sedan if you’re willing to go for it. The drive goes up a couple hundred yards to the hilltop where there is a clearing and, you guessed it, 1 pine tree. From the back of the clearing there is a trail that leads you to 2 Pine, which is a walk that takes just a few minutes. 2 Pine is walk-in only but has great views of the sunset and is totally secluded and private and would be a good spot to either bring some friends for a little sunset party or for someone who wants to seriously unplug. There are plenty of flat spots to pitch a tent. **if you are a teacher or Pacific Crest Trail hiker let us know! We are happy to offer a discount :)

We host a communal fire pit in the evenings, weather permitting, for all guests to enjoy, we do not allow open fires on the property. Cal Fire has requested that all campers get a permit, even to operate a gas stove. The permit is free and takes just a few minutes. https://permit.preventwildfiresca.org/ Please pack your trash, food scraps can be place in our compost but please be prepared to take all other items with you when you leave. Our swimming pond is about a 3/4 mile hike through brush from the restaurant but is a great way to beat the heat during the day! Campsites have a picnic table. A dry toilet is a short walk from campsites and we equip sites with a water dispenser and a sealed container for trash. Water from our well is always available outside of the restaurant and bathrooms with running water are available during business hours. There is a fire trail along one of our ridge lines that offers stunning views of the San Antonio Valley as well as our abundant wildlife.

Ranchero Cottage on New Hogan Lake

12. Ranchero Cottage on New Hogan Lake

42mi from Ceres · 1 site
Make lasting memories at this cozy cottage in the foothills of Calaveras County. Deer are abundant, wild turkeys roost in the trees & a large seasonal pond is full of frogs with the occasional ducks, egrets & turtles that love to pass through. The cottage sits on 5 beautiful acres where the terrain has little variation in elevation, making it easily accessible for exploration. In a rural neighborhood of generously spaced ranchettes, you can ensure a feeling of remote tranquility while being just 2 miles from town for all of your shopping needs. This cozy home sleeps 7 people. It has an open layout of 750 sq. ft. with 2 bedrooms & 1 full bathroom. The primary bedroom has a queen. The secondary bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk bed plus a sofa that pulls out into a queen. The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with necessities. You can find games/puzzles in the hall closet, plus there's free WiFi. Ranchero Cottage backs up to the Oak Knoll Campground on New Hogan Lake. This seasonal campground is open during the peak season from May to September. Acorn, the year-round campground, is only a 5-minute drive up the road. The boat launch is nearby too, at just 8 minutes away. Your stay at Ranchero Cottage includes a parking permit for 1 vehicle (plus trailer) gaining you free access to the boat launch & the day-use areas around New Hogan Lake. Spring & Winter Seasons In the spring & winter months, the property is lush & green with a full-flowing pond that feeds into New Hogan Lake. The best part about visiting in the "off-season" is having the peaceful campground all to yourself for exploration. Nothing beats a quiet book or picnic by the lake before the campers come in. Summer & Fall Seasons This is the peak season. The property is golden & dry during the summer & fall months. The seasonal pond is typically low & has algae growth from the heat. While temperatures will be very hot (reaching triple digits at times), the cottage has central HVAC & retains its temperature surprisingly well. There are also many evergreen trees on the property for shade. People love this time of year for fishing, water sports & swimming in the lake! The cool water & warm nights are what make this location such a popular summer destination.

The drive goes up a couple hundred yards to the hilltop where there is a clearing and, you guessed it, 1 pine tree. From the back of the clearing there is a trail that leads you to 2 Pine, which is a walk that takes just a few minutes. 2 Pine is walk-in only but has great views of the sunset and is totally secluded and private and would be a good spot to either bring some friends for a little sunset party or for someone who wants to seriously unplug. There are plenty of flat spots to pitch a tent. **if you are a teacher or Pacific Crest Trail hiker let us know! We are happy to offer a discount :)

The Rainbow Junction offers a unique camping experience at the intersection of Mines Road and HWY 130 in the San Antonio Valley. We operate a restaurant and we offer camping friendly meals for guests. We love the wildness of this property and do not allow cars or vehicles beyond the parking lot. All of our sites are hike in sites. It's about a 1/4 mile hike on a small foot path. We have a wagon available for guests to use and we are happy to help you carry your things. We host a communal fire pit in the evenings, weather permitting, for all guests to enjoy, we do not allow open fires on the property. Cal Fire has requested that all campers get a permit, even to operate a gas stove. The permit is free and takes just a few minutes. https://permit.preventwildfiresca.org/ Please pack your trash, food scraps can be place in our compost but please be prepared to take all other items with you when you leave. Our swimming pond is about a 3/4 mile hike through brush from the restaurant but is a great way to beat the heat during the day! Campsites have a picnic table. A dry toilet is a short walk from campsites and we equip sites with a water dispenser and a sealed container for trash. Water from our well is always available outside of the restaurant and bathrooms with running water are available during business hours. There is a fire trail along one of our ridge lines that offers stunning views of the San Antonio Valley as well as our abundant wildlife. We sometimes host speakers and educational workshops and guests are always welcome to participate in events. Campers, trailers, RVs and Vans are welcome to stay in our lot but we currently do not have hookups available. Have a large group? We are happy to reserve group sites.

Ranchero Cottage on New Hogan Lake

12. Ranchero Cottage on New Hogan Lake

42mi from Ceres · 1 site
Make lasting memories at this cozy cottage in the foothills of Calaveras County. Deer are abundant, wild turkeys roost in the trees & a large seasonal pond is full of frogs with the occasional ducks, egrets & turtles that love to pass through. The cottage sits on 5 beautiful acres where the terrain has little variation in elevation, making it easily accessible for exploration. In a rural neighborhood of generously spaced ranchettes, you can ensure a feeling of remote tranquility while being just 2 miles from town for all of your shopping needs. This cozy home sleeps 7 people. It has an open layout of 750 sq. ft. with 2 bedrooms & 1 full bathroom. The primary bedroom has a queen. The secondary bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk bed plus a sofa that pulls out into a queen. The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with necessities. You can find games/puzzles in the hall closet, plus there's free WiFi. Ranchero Cottage backs up to the Oak Knoll Campground on New Hogan Lake. This seasonal campground is open during the peak season from May to September. Acorn, the year-round campground, is only a 5-minute drive up the road. The boat launch is nearby too, at just 8 minutes away. Your stay at Ranchero Cottage includes a parking permit for 1 vehicle (plus trailer) gaining you free access to the boat launch & the day-use areas around New Hogan Lake. Spring & Winter Seasons In the spring & winter months, the property is lush & green with a full-flowing pond that feeds into New Hogan Lake. The best part about visiting in the "off-season" is having the peaceful campground all to yourself for exploration. Nothing beats a quiet book or picnic by the lake before the campers come in. Summer & Fall Seasons This is the peak season. The property is golden & dry during the summer & fall months. The seasonal pond is typically low & has algae growth from the heat. While temperatures will be very hot (reaching triple digits at times), the cottage has central HVAC & retains its temperature surprisingly well. There are also many evergreen trees on the property for shade. People love this time of year for fishing, water sports & swimming in the lake! The cool water & warm nights are what make this location such a popular summer destination.
