5 nights at Nolla A-Frames Near Yosemite

Cabin 1 was the perfect getaway for my girlfriend and I! The cabin was super comfortable and private, not to mention the gorgeous surrounding view. The showers and bathrooms across the street were convenient and clean. In addition, the cabin is only an hour drive from Yosemite Valley, so traveling back and forth was not an issue at all. Liza and Tom were excellent hosts and we cannot thank them enough for our experience. They responded to all of our messages within 5-10 minutes and assisted us upon request. 10/10 would recommend!

2 nights at Yosemite Colfax Spring

Great place to stay! Quiet place, great shower and bathroom!

1 night at Coloma Hilltop 27 Acre w/Riverview

Perfect spot for a stopover. Very enjoyable, and the host was quite helpful. Would definitely stay there again!

Weekend Trip to Coloma Hilltop 27 Acre w/Riverview

The view was amazing and the host was super hospitable. The fresh spring water was a major plus. Will be going back for sure!

Weekend Trip to Camp Nauvoo

It was a great time! The site was great, cooler because of the location next to the creek. It's also pretty secluded within the campgrounds so it gives your group lots of privacy. We had a great time!

4 nights at Nolla A-Frames Near Yosemite

This was awesome! View of stars at night and sunrise in the morning from inside was incredible. Their bathhouse was very clean. 1 hour from Yosemite valley, but seemed like almost any accommodation outside the park was the same drive time. Will definitely stay here again when we visit Yosemite and recommend to friends!

Weekend Trip to Strange Ranch - River and Gold

rad place. amazing river, amazing views, amazing host!

3 nights at Yosemite Colfax Spring

Fantastic spot to camp. About an hour out of Yosemite Village with every bit a stunning view drive. Fantastic views over the valley with clean, modern shower/ toilet facilities. Highly recommend staying here.

Weekend Trip to Yosemite Colfax Spring

I loved tent camping at this place. The location was great. Stayed here for my Yosemite trip. It’s under two hour drive to get to Yosemite which isn’t terrible, considering every campsite near Yosemite was either closed or booked. I met Tom on the last day I was there and he was a really great guy even invited me River rafting last minute. Unfortunately, I had to come back home, but will need to book that for my next trip. Lastly, the amenities were nice especially if you bring a 3 year old with you like we did. Highly recommend. Will be coming back.

Weekend Trip to Strange Ranch - River and Gold

Absolutely great time at strange ranch! The property itself feels very private and relaxing with beautiful views and a great river to swim and explore. All the campsites we saw were very clean and well maintained. Terry does an amazing job communicating and really provided a lot of great information before we even arrived. We stayed at site #1 right above the river. You can expect great views, a picnic table, metal fire pit, wash basin with faucet, hose, portable toilet, and a short walk down the stairs to the river. Terry told us before arriving how sunny our site would be so we brought a 10x10 pop up canopy and we were good to go!

3 nights at Yosemite Colfax Spring

Convenient to the NW Yosemite entry and has nice shower and restroom facilities. Beautiful views of a waterfall to the North.

Weekend Trip to Strange Ranch - River and Gold

Very private and overall a great stay. Very pretty as well. Terry is an amazing host

Enjoy the loft twin bed and the reading couch next to the view.

Weekend Trip to The Painted Lake

We had a great time at Jeremy’s ranch. Their 10 year old dog, Luna, spent most of her time with us and showed us the way to the lake and back to the site. Definitely a great host! Jeremy was also easy to reach and quickly responds to my questions. Was a nice little getaway with a beautiful view of the lake.

3 nights at Camp Nauvoo

As a mother of young children who are yearning for more of outdoor, rural play, best players makes that technology even existed. An amazing family environment, and Greg is a wonderful host! So many amenities and things to do, highly accommodating for children. This place has touched my heart enough to make it an annual camping spot for us. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Yosemite Colfax Spring

Perfect spot right outside of Yosemite! Campsite was cleared and the bathrooms were clean. Couldn’t ask for a better spot.

3 nights at Red Tail Ranch at Yosemite

My family and two dogs had a wonderful time at Red Tail Ranch! The spot was secluded and peaceful and we loved that we had full hook ups. The outside bathrooms and showers were a pleasant surprise, so clean! We will definitely be back when visiting the area!

Weekend Trip to Strange Ranch - River and Gold

Camping on Terry’s property was an excellent experience for my two friends and I. We highly recommend the aquatic invertebrate experience - Terry is extremely knowledgeable and it was so fun! We hope to be coming back to this beautiful land sooner rather than later! Very safe and peaceful.

Weekend Trip to Strange Ranch - River and Gold

Site 4 had spectacular views. Terry is amazing and there to help you every step of the way. The river was fantastic. Highly recommend this hip camp

Weekend Trip to Red Tail Ranch at Yosemite

Red Tail Ranch is by far my favorite Hipcamp experience, and I wish we’d found it sooner! It’s especially great for groups with a mix of vans, tents and/or more luxurious travel preferences (e.g. in the separate B&B accommodations). Our friends are getting married on site and this was the perfect way for us to clean up after a long road trip to greet them in proper fashion.

Weekend Trip to Coloma Hilltop 27 Acre w/Riverview

Brian showed us around and was very kind. The campsite was beautiful and we enjoyed the river nearby.

Wondernut Farm

4 sites · Lodging38 acres · Big Oak Flat, CA

Wondernut Farm is an upstart, entirely off grid, working farm-stead being built from the ground up. We breed milking goats and sheep, heritage pigs, and are in the process of converting to a grade A dairy and creamery! We use organic practices, management intensive rotational grazing, and dryland pasture management. We sell our animals locally so that others can have their own milking and meat animals. Our 110 year old hay barn and the roof of the former lumber mill were all we had to work with in getting off the ground. Being first and foremost a functional farm, we can't help but offer a somewhat warts-and-all look into everything it takes to be working to our goals. Our hearts are, and always will be, educational and local community focused, and we work closely with farmers and friends alike in better understanding our innovative animal husbandry, power, pasture and water systems. Whenever we have time, we'll afford the same time and opportunities to interested hip-campers. Our location is stunning and historic, and the beauty of the wild, natural landscape is powerful, yet offers easy access to both Yosemite Valley and the San Francisco Bay area. The area features excellent road and mountain biking in the immediate vicinity, vast access to hiking and backpacking trails, a huge variety of rock climbing in the area, the best whitewater rafting in California on the Tuolumne River, with some tasty places to eat or drink coffee in the nearby town of Groveland, just 10 minutes away. Accommodations at the farm are certainly rustic, and private but not secluded, with occasionally heavily project-exploded shared kitchen and living space, showers, and airy flush toilets. Do be advised that animals are pooping, hammers are hammering, sometimes we need to look into a health or animal injury related issue. Sometimes there is blood in an animal birth or slaughter, and our working guardian dogs have been known to be noisy some nights. Water and electricity are both very limited (though we reuse all our water), waste must be carefully sorted into a number of different categories, and there is always evidence of ump-teen projects unfolding at once. The most difficult condition during much of the summer are nuisance flies, which are always gone at night. We have almost no mosquitoes or ticks. Depending on the exact situation and time of year, guests may have the opportunities to snuggle with baby animals and run our herd to or from pasture, and maybe even get their hands dirty picking veggies in the garden.

Moore Creek Placer Claim

2 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Buck Meadows, CA

This is one of 3 gold claims I have here in the Yosemite area. This particular site is in one of the nicer areas of the national forest as it is in an area that has not been hit by wildfire recently. There are two camping sites on this claim one is a roundabout with a giant redwood in the center of the circle the other is right off the side of the road with easy access no matter what kind of rig you are driving. As a registered mining claim owner I or anyone with my permission can camp and prospect on the claim for up to 14 days consecutively… I will not be around the area as I live in San Diego and come up about once a month to one of them.. I ask that you leave the property as nice as you found it remember this is a national park and everyone wants to enjoy the beauty of nature.

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 our 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 each 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! In the area there are 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. We are happy to make suggestions for local hiking areas, like the Devil's Slide "Gorge" only a 15 minute drive but like a trip to mini Yosemite. The Caldor Fire was VERY close to our property and a back burn was initiated nearby the cabins (litererally 200' away!). 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. We ask campers to use our property only for land use and river access, NO up or down river access is permitted AT ALL. Please don't hesitate to shoot us a message if you have any questions!
