Weekend Trip to Sierra Circles Sculpture Garden

Great campsite, great host (Michael) and great music!

Weekend Trip to The Painted Lake

Stayed here for a weekend getaway with a large group and had a great experience. Jeremy is a super chill and helpful host, he made us feel welcome right away. The campsite has a relaxed, open feel with friendly horses and chickens wandering around, which added to the charm. Jeremy even offer free-range eggs from their chickens, such a cool little perk to start the day. There’s a clean portable toilet on-site (huge plus), and everything felt well taken care of. Just a heads up: the trail to get down to the actual camp site a little tricky if you don’t have a 4x4 or high-clearance vehicle. One of us made it in a regular car, but it took a little patience, go slow and steady and you’ll be fine. The lake is nearby, but it’s a pretty steep hike down and back up. Totally manageable, just be ready for some uphill effort on the return. That said, it’s peaceful and worth the trek if you’re up for it. If you’re looking for a quiet, nature-filled spot with some farm fun and don’t mind a bit of a climb (and maybe a bumpy ride in), this place is a hidden gem.

Weekend Trip to Yosemite Colfax Spring

Hi Tom and Liza, Thank you again for the good stay last weekend. Me and my friends enjoyed it very much. The campsite remained well maintain and the bathroom is really amazing, it feels like you are in a hotel.

2 nights at Nolla A-Frames Near Yosemite

Such a cute and comfy place to stay super close to Yosemite (big oak flat entrance)! Super well maintained, beautiful view, comfy bed. Showers across street very accessible.

2 nights at Yosemite Colfax Spring

Great place to stay near Yosemite. Bathrooms and showers were a plus! Friendly people.

Weekend Trip to Sierra Circles Sculpture Garden

Such an amazing stay and I’m honestly blown away by how much there was to see and do! From unique sculptures tucked into the landscape to beautiful pottery displays, every corner had something special to discover. The summer concert series was such a fun touch — great vibes and great music. They have an organic vineyard on site! But the real standout for me was the walk with Michel. He was incredibly informative, passionate, and brought the entire space to life with his stories and knowledge. Easily my favorite part of the entire trip! Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a camping experience that’s full of character, creativity, and connection.

Weekend Trip to Sierra Circles Sculpture Garden

Michel's camp was absolutely sensational! We opted in for the concert, food truck and yummy yummy rhubarb strawberry pie ala mode! Wow! Magical evening and artistic sculptures all around! We will certainly return!

Weekend Trip to Red Tail Ranch at Yosemite

TV2 was very convenient, I appreciated the wooden deck at the site, and the 50A hookup was great. Proximity to restrooms and showers also was great.

Weekend Trip to Red Tail Ranch at Yosemite

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! The amenities were great, and the peaceful, quiet atmosphere made it the perfect place to relax—especially after a long day exploring Yosemite. I only wish we could have stayed longer, but we’re already hoping to book another trip in the future. Robb was very responsive to all of our questions and made everything easy. We had a great time!

Weekend Trip to Camp Nauvoo

Beautiful space, great hosts, lots of fun. Would definitely go back

Weekend Trip to Yosemite Colfax Spring

So close to the national park with great views. Restrooms and showers were super clean and accessible. Great place for star gazing and sleeping to the sounds of waterfall. Would definitely recommend and come back for future trips.

Weekend Trip to Nolla A-Frames Near Yosemite

We stayed in Cabin2 and it was so great. The view is INCREDIBLE and the bed was very comfy. This was my first experience "glamping" and it was really easy. Lisa provides very thorough instructions/information - as long as you read her notes, you will have a lovely stay in the A-Frames. Be sure to bring some sort of bug repellant :) and enjoy getting off the grid!

Weekend Trip to Strange Ranch - River and Gold

Site was beautiful, river is so peaceful and Terry was so welcoming and helpful even though we arrived very late at night. Will definitely come again!

Weekend Trip to Strange Ranch - River and Gold

This is a special place. There are not many of these left in California that aren’t covered in trash and graffiti. Please treat it like it’s your parents backyard so the owners of this property will continue to allow a limited amount of people here to enjoy one for the greatest swimming holes and campsites in the region. This shaded piece of paradise has trout in the river, frogs on the river bank, and deer throughout the property. It’s incredibly scenic and peaceful. On a weekday you are likely to be the only one here. It’s truly amazing. The water is so clear you can snorkel in the swimming hole. Check out the gold mine right below site 2 and if you’re the adventurous type ask the owner and he will direct you to all kinds of interesting hikes up and down the river.

Weekend Trip to Strange Ranch - River and Gold

It was amazing. Terry was super nice and knowledgeable, took time to explain the area and its history to us. We loved campsite 2, perfect amount of shade with easy access to the river and the mine. Will definitely be staying here again.

Weekend Trip to Strange Ranch - River and Gold

Beautiful property! The camp sites, the swimming hole, the old gold mine, the creek and the swimming hole are all great. Highly recommend a visit here, I will definitely be going back! Be sure to bring your head lamp and shoes you don’t mind getting muddy for the gold mine!

Weekend Trip to Strange Ranch - River and Gold

Terry’s ranch was beautiful! It was such a peaceful place to camp- the sounds of the river at night were great to fall asleep to. The river itself was so nice to float on and spend the day by the beach. Will definitely be going back!

4 nights at Yosemite Colfax Spring

Loved the campsite, really clean showers and bathrooms, and close to the Yosemite entrance. Hope to be back next summer

Weekend Trip to Yosemite Colfax Spring

This was such an amazing stay! Liza and Tom were very responsive to our messages, and when we needed some help with our fire pit, Marty came and helped us out and was a hoot to chat with. The camp is only 30 minutes from the entrance to Yosemite Valley, 6 minutes away from a gorgeous river and swimming hole, and 20 minutes from Groveland, which was perfect for a little night out when we weren’t wanting to fire up the camp stove. The bathrooms are some of the best I’ve ever seen in my 25 years of camping, and the campground was very well kept. We would definitely come back here again, even if we weren’t planning on making a trip into the park. Thank you Liza, Tom, and the whole team at Sierra Mac River Trips!

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!

Camp Nauvoo

24 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents86 acres · Placerville, CA

Camp Nauvoo was originally bought by the LDS church in the 1960's for a girl's camp. The camp was owned by the Boy Scouts from 2011-2015. The Rose family bought the property in 2016 with the intent to continue the tradition of tent camping as well as creating opportunities for exclusive events i.e., group/family reunions, weddings and corporate events.

We do enforce camp rules especially our quiet time between 10 PM and 7 AM (please review). We’ve been told that we have a “family camp” vibe. We are a great place for families wanting a safe environment for their kids but also several group sites for those that want to hang out together with multiple families.

We have a lodge that is stocked with games and a ping pong table. The lodge has a microwave, Keurig machine and a hot water kettle for those hot drinks (BYO Cups).We have several tables set up for those that want to eat inside as well as multiple picnic tables along the side of the lodge with overhead protection.

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.

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.

Hipcamp right on shore of the Middle Fork Tuolumne River at a registered gold claim and try your luck at panning for California gold. Whether you are looking to do some recreational panning or you just need a place to camp during your visit to Yosemite you would be hard to find a more beautiful spot.This Hipcamp is only for folks in self-contained rigs with their own camp toilets. Please do not book this spot if you are not traveling with a camp toilet. Leave it better and always pack out all trash, human waste, etc. I have several gold claims in the Yosemite valley area within minutes of the west entrance to the park. Owning these claims allows myself or anyone with my permission to camp and mine the claim for up to 14 days consecutively. I live in San Diego so my scheduled visits leave a ton of time available others could be using it so I have listed it here for anyone wanting an inexpensive place to stop when passing through or to go and pan the banks of the river to find your own California gold. You are welcome to bring a pan or a sluice box and keep any gold you recover on any of my claims. Dredging is currently restricted in California without a permit so please keep within the laws.
