Weekend Trip to Nolla A-Frames Near Yosemite

Such a cozy modern basic glamping cabin, exactly as expected. * Super clean and new * Gorgeous east facing views (sunrise!) * Quiet aside from the river nearby — far enough from the main road that you don’t hear traffic * Close to west Yosemite NP boarder, under an hour drive to the Yosemite Valley loop roads. * Directions were helpful, including the details once I turned off the main road. * RAV4 SUV rental made it up the dirt road easily. * Cabin 3 is close to Cabin 2, but angled in such a way that both have privacy unless someone is going wayyyy out of their way to be a creeper and stand in front of the other cabin’s large window (ew, who would?) * For AT&T cell service, expect zero bars — occasionally one bar outside in certain spots briefly. So solid location to disconnect with tech and relax. * Short drive to nearby small town (Groveland?) with some basic restaurants, gas station, etc

Weekend Trip to Nolla A-Frames Near Yosemite

Liza and Tom’s place is a true glamping experience close to the beautiful Yosemite. The stay was truly unique with modern style A frame. We loved every second of our time here! The glass wall is a perfect touch that allows you to stargaze in comfort at night time. The property was just the right amount of secluded and private. A huge plus for having a private bathroom and even showers at their sister property. Book this property, you won’t regret it.

Weekend Trip to Yosemite Colfax Spring

Absolutely beautiful site, amazing views! Only critic I have is that I wish there was a bit more separation between campsites for optimal privacy but it was not a dealbreaker and would certainly come back again. Hosts were great!

5 nights at Red Tail Ranch at Yosemite

Site was gorgeous, hookups were some of the best we’ve had (how they were situated). We overlooked the gorgeous natural area and watched the sun set over it each night. Top-notch facilities including very, very clean real working toilets, outdoor showers and more facilities. Great Hipcamp signage! Other items of note - we ate at Tangled Hearts Cafe and highly recommend it for any meal - great fresh, local food. In addition to enjoying Yosemite, we walked one of the paths in the nearby Stanislaus National Forest which allows leashed dogs on trail and loved it. We were really able to relax and enjoy Robb’s property! He is a fantastic, responsive and very knowledgeable host who knows Yosemite intimately! We are already trying to figure out how to come back….

Weekend Trip to Yosemite Colfax Spring

1 night at Nolla A-Frames Near Yosemite

I loved staying in the A-frames near Yosemite. Such an easy stay & check in and absolutely spectacular views from inside and outside the hut. The perfect in between for someone who doesn’t want to / doesn’t have the supplies to tent camp but still wants the nature experience. It was truly incredible to fall asleep whilst looking up at the starry night sky. 1000/10 recommend & hoping I make it back soon!

Weekend Trip to Sierra Circles Sculpture Garden

Super sweet and interesting place. We appreciated the art installations, open spaces, and history. Extra points for being dog friendly! Everyone was nice and helpful…and there was an air of freedom that’s missing from most state and national park campgrounds. All in all, a great experience and we would recommend to others looking for a place in the area.

Weekend Trip to Sierra Circles Sculpture Garden

This was my second time to the sierra sculpture garden, and I will definitely come back again soon!

3 nights at The Foxes Family Farm

We loved staying here!! Kat and her husband are both friendly and helpful, and they are excellent communicators. The farm is beautiful, peaceful, and dog-friendly. The site had everything we needed. The laundry and available shower were most appreciated, and the dogs had a great time smelling all the smells. We would definitely stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Sierra Circles Sculpture Garden

Very fun and unique place! Perfect stay for weekend wine event in Murphys! Clean and comfortable. Host met us upon arrival! Very friendly and informative.

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Ranch

This camp site is amazing! Tucked back on the hill so you get both shade and sun. Only 100ft (if that to the river). Nice swimming spot even though the currant is a little strong. Can drive straight up to camp site and have truck parked next to tent. All the camp sites are very clean and the Porto potties are the cleanest I have ever seen. Made the stay much better knowing they have clean toilets to use. Lots of privacy, camp site 8 is about 50 yards from site 9, and camp site 10 is all the way down at the end (can’t see them, nor hear them), love this spot!! Tom the property manager was awesome and super friendly. We chatted with him everyday as he came down to check on us and what a great guy. Rachael is also super friendly and has great communication in timely manner. Highly recommend booking this place.

Experience our majestic pine and oak wilderness, all with beautiful vista of Cosumnes River Valley and mountains for miles & miles. Lounge in the peace & quiet. Our mission here at Fjellgard Ranch is to create a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. We have less campsites to give you personal space instead of shoving you in between RVs. We are more interested in creating a tranquil and calm getaway for you, where you can enjoy all that nature has to offer in the Sierra Foothills. Our property is close to many attractions in the area. There are famous California gold country sites, museums, and historic Downtown Placerville. We are positioned about 20-30 minutes from some of the state's most beautiful swimming, kayaking, and hiking locations. Also: - Shenandoah Valley Wineries are just 30 minutes South of us - Apple Hill orchards are 30-40 minutes North-East - Lake Tahoe is 1 hour North-East on Hwy 50. We aim to create a peaceful, welcoming, and safe environment. We believe in diversity, inclusion, and equity for all people! PLEASE NOTE before you book: - We do not typically accept reservations Monday-Wednesday (unless holiday weekend) and are closed for those days. If you are wanting to book a longer stay, please contact us and we can evaluate your situation and open the dates for you. - Please book all extras through the Hipcamp App. If you decide later to add on anything after arrival, you can change your reservation to reflect. - All sites come with a fire pit during wetter months (typically Nov-May). Please check site to see if fires are currently permitted. All sites except Site #9 come with a picnic table. - We cannot accommodate camping vehicles larger than 20 feet or camping trailers. - Refunds are honored if you cancel before 72 hours prior to your check-in time. - Because we are in a natural mountain environment, we do have to deal with pests from time to time. During warmer months mosquitos, bees, ants, and wasps will often frequent our campsites, attracted by food. We do what we can to keep them away, but mid-Summer months especially are more difficult. If you feel like this will bother you, please consider booking with us Fall through Spring.

Cosumnes River Somerset Camp

11 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents23 acres · Somerset, CA

This land was home to the Miwok, then European and Chinese miners, then a cattle rancher. It was also home to a former nun who quit the dominican order to purchase this land for inner city kids to have a chance to ride, swim, hike and fish. We moved here in 2017 and purchased this land with the main goal to raise our large family here, but we have found that good things must be shared! There is NOTHING like being in the wilderness of this area for a good re-centering of the soul! We have found it to be a true blessing for our family, and we hope you can experience this blessing as we share this space with you. We feel certain you will not be disappointed with this beautiful river canyon. Our property is situated right on the middle fork cosumnes river. We have 2 sleeping cabins and several tent sites (can be rented separately). The cabins offer a rustic/minimalist type vibe - bring your own bedding/pillows to sleep on the comfy futon. A table and chairs are provided for the cabins. Tent sites have a wood table (bring your camp chairs) and a fire pit when the season is open for burning. The swimming is awesome and the stars at night will put you into a state of awe! Many family owned wineries in the area, most of them offering free tasting. It’s a short drive to Tahoe and the Marshall gold discovery site as well as the historic hangtown Placerville. The recent Caldor Fire was VERY close to our property and a back burn was initiated nearby the cabins. It is still as beautiful as ever but please know there are lots of slash piles. Falling trees and burned up stump holes are also a risk and it is presumed campers will be cautious and use at their own risk. Please don't hesitate to shoot us a message if you have any questions!
