Welcome to Camp SourBerry! Here, you can pitch your tent with a view. You can enjoy the feeling of rural seclusion while within walking distance (~1 mile) from shops and restaurants in Oakhurst. The South Gate to Yosemite National Park is less than a 30-minute drive (~75 minutes drive-time to the Valley floor), and Bass Lake's shores are only 15 minutes away. Local wildlife is abundant. Wild turkeys are a common sighting, especially in the spring and fall, as are squirrels, bears, deer, coyotes, and bobcats, plus all kinds of native birds (hawks, quail, jays, woodpeckers, ravens, vultures, and eagles). We have a small homestead-style farm and so do the neighbors, so you can hear the distant sounds of chickens, turkeys, sheep, goats, and cows. Because the safety of our animals (and yours) is paramount, we do not allow pets off-leash. Whether you want to stay put and enjoy the natural setting or have a base from which to explore world-class attractions, we would love to host your next vacation.

Weekend Trip to Camp SourBerry (near Yosemite)

Lovely peaceful place, clean and tranquil with super helpful host. It feels like miles from anywhere but is actually close to the main routes through the town. Really enjoyed my stay.

You have easy-in, easy-out with a pull-through driveway.

Weekend Trip to Camp SourBerry (near Yosemite)

Camp SourBerry was an excellent place to spend the evening before beginning my Yosemite adventure. The campsite was clean and the surroundings were beautiful. I also found it to be quiet and the right distance from town…not too far and not too close. The hosts were friendly, kind, and willing to answer my questions. I also sensed they genuinely cared for my well-being. It was so great to meet them and I would stay there again without any hesitation!

Wildflowers bloom from late winter through early summer.

Weekend Trip to Sierra Ranch - Cabins & Tents

Our group loved the Whole ranch, it was perfect for us. This Ranch is good for groups it already has a Pavilion for gathering. A big Kitchen to cook and store your food… The land is beside a river good for swimming… Restrooms and hit showers are also available… Overall all we have a very good experience… And Gary was very understanding and took very good care of our group.. I would definitely recommend this place.. Thank You Gary!

The Ranch is so well cared for and it shows. Gary is a wonderful steward of the land. We were looking for a peaceful getaway and we found it. The location is convenient and includes everything you need to be comfortable. We're already planning next year's visit.

Chelsea and Wayne were very welcoming and friendly and incredible hosts. They allowed us to feed their baby lambs and see their farm which was the coolest experience! The campsite was very well maintained and had such beautiful views. Walking distance to a weekly farmers market and not far from town in case you need anything from a store but still felt like you were miles and miles away from civilization. Will definitely be our go to when we visit Yosemite!

Perfect fit for our class B for one night. Peaceful and smelled heavenly with all the wild flowers and clover. I would not recommend for a furry or long haired dog.

Had a great experience at Camp SourBerry! Very nice pull through campsite with trees all around and a small meadow right next to visit. We were visited by some pretty cool wild turkeys on the first day. It is only minutes from town, but it feels like miles away. Easy to get to and find as well. I highly recommend!

Private and quiet only 20 minutes from the south entrance to Yosemite. Chelsea was prompt to reply and checked in to see if we needed anything. She even invited us to hold the newborn lambs that were born just that morning!

Stayed 2 nights 20 minutes from south entrance to Yosemite. Set up on a hill with mountain views and it was very quiet. The wildflowers were beautiful. Chelsea was quick to reply and checked in to see if we needed anything. As a bonus we got to hold their newborn baby lambs!

Weekend Trip to Sierra Ranch - Cabins & Tents

River Ridge Ranch was everything we could have asked for and more. The crossing of the river to the camping site became an unexpected adventure that truly connected our participants with nature and the water elements. One of the most unforgettable moments was standing in the river, surrounded by the sounds of drums, birds, and the flowing water — a powerful and grounding experience that deeply tied us to the land. The ranch provided everything we needed, from a well-equipped kitchen space to a gathering and meeting area that felt both whimsical and relaxing. The owner, Gary, made himself available to guide us, presenting clear safety protocols for our group and generously sharing his deep knowledge of the ranch’s conservation efforts and the native plant families thriving there. I highly recommend River Ridge Ranch for groups or family gatherings seeking connection with nature. Plus, the added security of WiFi access makes it easy for those who may need to check in with home or work without sacrificing the magic of being present in such a natural setting.

We had such a fantastic time here! The location was easy to find thanks to the directions provided, the amenities were nice when we wanted to enjoy the open air, the proximity to town was really helpful when searching for extra supplies, and the location to Yosemite made it very accessible no matter how busy your day is!! Definitely will camp here again!
