4. Yosemite Rocky Ridge Road Cabin

29mi from Chowchilla · 2 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Coarsegold, CA

Our spacious lofted Yosemite cabin has high 18ft ceilings which gives the sense of abundance and space. Relax and unwind on our large outdoor deck with cool valley breezes. Chill time to let go and recharge. We renovated our cabin fully in the summer of 2024, knocking out lots of closed in walls and gutting the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms completely changing a dated 80’s style cabin into a modern contemporary home. The renovation took us 6 months in total to complete, from the time we knocked out our first wall til the last appliance was installed. This is our family’s cabin we love to spend quality time together exploring outside, catching bugs, cooking s’mores on our large deck and stargazing at night! We love to share it with other families.

My partner and I loved staying at Cole’s Ranch! Barry is extremely hospitable and organized. All of the amenities he provides were also super clean; we really appreciated the clean bathroom and kitchen area. Highly recommend the tour he provides as well! We ended up booking the hay ride and cow/calf experience and all of their cows were friendly and loved being pet. We’re definitely going to come back again next time!

Weekend Trip to Cole Ranch

The RV sites are well laid out, spacious, and flat, next to a lovely pomegranate orchard and near a pleasant river. Barry was extremely friendly and helpful, greeting us when we got there and showing us around the amenities. The boats available for use were great, and the kitchen area provided a place with hot water on demand to do dishes so we didn’t have to heat it up on our stove. My only regret was not bringing fishing gear along; maybe next time, since we will definitely keep this on our list of places to come back to.

Had a very good time and services were great and I felt very welcomed there. Clean showers and lots of space to enjoy relaxing with views of wild turkeys and deer in the mornings and evenings. Wife had one suggestions that the small step-up in the shower on floor have a marker ( maybe paint step yellow ) to prevent trip hazard. Men's side were fine...

The amenities were great for campervan experience. They had 240v and 120v outlets with fresh water and waste water systems on each camping site. The site's bathrooms were nice and open 24 hours. The campsite was also walking distance from food and entertainment which was great for ease of logistics. The employees were also very friendly and helpful!

The location is excellent—just about 30 minutes from the South Entrance of Yosemite National Park. We came with our 30ft RV and had a full hookup site, which was very clean and well-maintained. The campground has nice amenities, including clean toilets and a pool area that’s great for children. Check-in was very easy, even though we arrived late—the staff had prepared our documents on the pinned wall, making the process quick and smooth. Overall, a wonderful stay and highly recommended for anyone visiting Yosemite.

Weekend Trip to Yosemite Westlake Camp

Great little spot. I was created by a neighbor cat and hung out with the neighborhood dog in the evening. 35-40 mins from Yosemite gate. Host was super friendly and shared a lot of useful information. My spot was very small and tucked in the front corner. Perfect for me and my dog; was able to back my car into the site.

What an amazing find, It’s such a beautiful property! Barry and his family have thought of and done so much to make your camping trip easy and enjoyable. From the amazingly equipped kitchen complete with hot water and coffee, to the boat house with all the fun things, to the clean bathrooms complete with a mural and hand towels they made my stay a joy. Green grass, peaceful, eagles soaring, fish jumping, Winnie and Tigger bouncing… highly recommend. Thank you Barry and family for the lovely time.

The owner was super accommodating and helpful! We had a lot of issues with our RV and Mac went above and beyond to help us enjoy our experience regardless of our issues with our RV. And we loved the camp cat! She is super sweet and loves pets.
