We've camped at Cole Ranch twice now and had a great time both times. Barry is a great host. I love the amenities there.

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!

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.

Great time, thanks!

Great location near Yosemite but without the crowds. Robb was super helpful in selecting the best location for us to camp. We had the place all to ourselves and loved the peaceful atmosphere.

This place is beautiful and incredibly well maintained. So many nice extras around the camp. Barry and his wife are friendly and welcoming. I wish we'd booked a longer stay.

What a beautiful property! We had an absolutely lovely time. We were the only ones in the tent camping area so we had the entire place to ourselves and we were able to unplug and truly relax. The kitchen area was perfect for us to wash our dishes, the bathrooms were clean and well lit and my husband especially enjoyed his hot shower under the stars. Groveland is a very cute little town and we enjoyed an afternoon walking around there with our dogs. Robb is wonderful with communication too. We’d definitely stay here again!

Great hosts in Rob and his son Noah, matched by a beautiful piece of property. Easy to find, and easy to access the RV sites (and the tent sites andcabins). The property was quiet, lots of wild life, beautiful trails...and located just outside Stanislaus and Yosemite, places that Rob knows intimately. Hookups worked perfect...we're already scheming a return trip.

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...

Peaceful place to hang out. The kitchen was convenient for cooking at night, the barn hang out for eating and lounging after full days in Yosemite. We stayed 5 nights and drove back and forth to the park. For some that would be too much driving but we liked being out of crowded campsites. No noise and just birds in the morning. Showers were awesome after full days of hiking too.

From the jump Robb was very responsive and accommodating! Came in for the weekend to hike Half Dome and this was the PERFECT place to stay. Close to the park and close to Groveland, whilst still giving the remote and adventurous feeling that the park has to offer.
Property was easy to find and navigate. The showers were fantastically warm and the bathrooms were clean. The communal area is a perfect hangout and the little kitchen/prep area was a huge bonus.
It was really great to meet Robb as he has tons of knowledge on area and gave us some great tips on navigating the park and alternate hikes.
It would seem that Robb is a bit of local celebrity with his Biologist background and passion for Photography - I highly recommend stopping off at Mountain Sage in Groveland to view/purchase some of his phenomenal prints and grab a coffee. (He also has a published nature book!)
All in all, great value, great location and perfect for a weekend at the park! I will definitely be returning!

We loved RV spot #1. Everything was clean and exactly as stated. We did have to run a hose to fill up our tank, but we probably should’ve realized lol. But as we are just amateurs. It is a very clean and quiet, private spot and we really enjoyed our stay! Thank you for a great location and stay!
