Cabin and property are exactly as described. Very close to great hiking trails and Yosemite. The waterfall was beautiful and it was a lovely sound to fall asleep to.

3 nights at Hidden Falls Yosemite Camp
We had a great time at Wendy & Hudson’s cabin. The view of the waterfall from the deck was one of our favorite parts. In close second were the sunset views over the boulder.
I had been looking for something that was secluded and private, and we got just that!! Parking down the driveway can be a bit tricky and getting down to the shower/bathroom is a bit aways, but all in all it was absolutely worth it! We came near the new moon and got to enjoy the stars each night, which was quite a treat.
It’s about 1.5 hour drive from the center of Yosemite, but there are also lots of nature spots to checkout nearby too. I’d definitely recommend Wild Fig in Coarsegold for brunch or lunch and Clouds Rest Coffee in Oakhurst. A special shoutout to Wendy who was an incredible host and just an all around lovely person. We’d definitely come back here and I’d love to camp at the second site on their property!

Weekend Trip to River Bluff Retreat
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Magical Getaway!
This campsite was everything we hoped for and more! It was peaceful, absolutely beautiful, and incredibly private—the perfect place to disconnect from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with nature. The entire experience felt enlightening and refreshing.
The RV was extremely comfortable and homey, with cozy touches that made it feel like a true retreat. The kitchen was stocked with every utensil we could’ve possibly needed, which made cooking super easy and enjoyable.
The views were breathtaking, especially during sunrise and sunset. One of the best parts was being able to hike along the river and explore nature without seeing another person—just pure tranquility and wide-open space.
Other things we loved:
✅ Super clean and well-maintained space
✅ Thoughtful host who clearly care about the guest experience
✅ Perfect balance of comfort and “outdoor adventure”
✅ A hidden gem that feels private but still safe and welcoming
If you’re looking for a beautiful, serene escape where you can relax, recharge, and enjoy nature in complete privacy, this is the place. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be coming back! 🌲✨

Cozy cabin with very comfy bed. Great spot with view of waterfall and its own fire pit. Excellent location near Yosemite South Gate, Bass Lake, and tons of National Forest land hikes. Cabin has fridge and microwave, BYO water. Thank you to the hosts for a perfect stay and for being dog friendly!

Weekend Trip to Indian Flat Campground
My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location to Yosemite is super convenient and the facilities were better than we expected. Bathrooms/ showers/ common spaces were clean and it was nice to be able to walk next door to the hotel to have access to their pool and fast wifi. I will definitely be staying here again!!

From the beginning the host was really answering all my questions about the land… this place is a gem, we celebrate my friend birthday and we got an amazing time. We found everything we need there! The river was a plus. Definitely we would love to comeback.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Falls Yosemite Camp
Loved the small cabin. Very quiet, its got a call breeze coming in all directions, and a loud sound of the small creek waterfall. The bed is so comfortable, and relaxing. Small porta is good, and the shared bathroom at the main house is clean with hot water, its a win-win with a good price.

1 night at Indian Flat Campground
This was a great stopover before entering Yosemite NP. It’s about a 40 min drive to the park entrance. This tent is within a campground and next to a hotel, so don’t expect to be solo. But because of this, there are plenty of amenities onsite including bathrooms and showers.
Even though it was 106 when we arrived, you can walk down to the river to cool off. You can also use the pool at the lodge next door.
There is AC in the tent, but you can’t run it for longer than 30 minutes before blowing the power box.

1 night at Indian Flat Campground
Love the amenities of the hotel restaurant and pool.
However, it was advertised as having AC in the tent and upon check-in, however, when we called for help with turning it on, they said the AC did not work in any of the Jute Tents.

My husband and our little girls loved our stay at Malihsa’s Fox Den. It was my husband’s birthday and Malihsa even set up a “Happy Birthday” sign for him. The Fox Den had a cute fox theme and modern amenities like WiFi, 2 flat screen TV’s, and an Alexa that helped us control the air and lights. There was also a grill, hot tub and a fire pit on the property. The front patio and back patio were perfect spots for our family to hang out. I highly recommend the Fox Den. It was clean, cozy and modern. We hope to be back soon.

Melissa was a wonderful Host! She was very responsive and receptive to any questions my friends and I had about the cabin and Bass Lake nearby. She even offered plenty of advice and tips for things to do.
The cabin had plenty of accommodations: plenty of seats for meals, a full kitchen with plenty of dishes and cups, extra beach towels and the like for use when going to Bass Lake. I also thoroughly enjoyed the bear-themed decor all over the cabin. Truly the Bears' Den!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Falls Yosemite Camp
This was the perfect tiny cabin for access to Bass lake and parts of Yosemite. Literally minutes from Bass like and surrounding hikes. Highly recommend Angel Falls, especially during the summer heat.
Cabin will be very comfy year round with the excellent little heater/AC unit, but when possible, I highly recommend falling asleep to the waterfall ambiance with the windows open.
The little deck table is perfectly positioned for privacy and a view of the waterfall, well thought out design.
Parking in front of the cabin is down a pretty steep decline, so having AWD or 4WD is helpful, otherwise you should back-in and use a bit of momentum to get up the slope. There is also room to park on the side of the road and just walk down to the cabin if needed.
Would like to use the campfire ring behind the cabin next time outside of fire season.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Falls Yosemite Camp
Wonderful weekend "glamping" spot near lots of hiking & food! Perfect for two. Cozy cabin! The sound & view of the hidden falls was so peaceful. Bed was on the firmer side and bathroom situation was a bit odd but we worked through it. Would have loved to have a fire but CA is dry in June, so thinking another trip in fall/winter may be in order!

I really enjoyed my stay. Wendy was wonderful. The waterfalls in the area are unbelievable, including a view from the cabin. It’s definitely for people who wanna get off the grid for a couple of days. Thank you, Wendy.
