Strange Ranch - River and Gold

4 sites · RVs, Tents117 acres · Wilseyville, CA
Secluded private river camping in a forest and oak woodland on the South Fork Mokelumne River. The site boasts incredible views with a pristine private gold-bearing trout stream with mining history and wildlife preserve located in the gold country of the Sierra Nevada foothills of northern Calaveras County. This unique property is adjacent to over 900 acres of public land and 2 miles of private stream for exploring. With a total of only 4 campsites, it is a great location for a group to reserve the entire campground. All campsites have potable well water spigots and access to a cool water shower. Guests will enjoy the privacy while swimming, stream exploring, hiking, spelunking, forest immersion, fishing for wild trout, gold panning, or simply relaxing in a breathtaking environment – come fall in love with this special private ranch. After one stay, you will be a repeat guest. PLEASE NOTE: An All-Wheel Drive or 4-Wheel Drive vehicle is needed to access campsites 1 through 3 due to the road incline and rock and gravel road surface. Campsite 4 is accessible with a 2-wd vehicle, and has both potable well water and 20 amps of power. All sites have beautiful open views of the property and river canyon with natural shade in the morning and late afternoon. Sounds of the river will lull you to sleep. Although partially shaded, please plan to provide your own portable shade structure(s) during late morning and afternoon as the direct sun can be an inconvenience. The Stranges are professional fish and wildlife biologists and have decided to share this special place for others to enjoy. The property hosts a diversity of plant and wildlife species that might be observed during your stay. Prehistoric and historic cultural resources can be observed along the river corridor. Please be aware that some wildlife species including rattlesnakes, bears, and mountain lions have been observed on the 117-acre property and could potentially be observed near the campsites. The Ranch's northern portion of the property supports a leased farming operation. No portions of the farming operations should interfere with camping operations. Day trips are possible to Tahoe, Yosemite National Park, Calaveras Big Trees State Park, local caverns and wine tasting, and historic gold towns.

Nolla A-Frames Near Yosemite

5 sites · Lodging45 acres · Colfax Springs, CA
Welcome to our A-Frame Nolla Cabins at the doorstep to Yosemite! Our property is conveniently located off Highway 120 and 15 minutes outside of the entrance to Yosemite National Park. While amenities such as the town of Groveland, restaurants, and gas stations are nearby (15 minutes away), you will truly feel like you are off the beaten path at this campsite. Featuring our A-Frame cabins in partnership with Nolla from Finland, sleep on a comfy mattress on a bed looking out through a floor-to-ceiling window where you may see deer grazing nearby, cedar and pine trees, and big sky with stars at night. Each cabin has a picnic table outside, a Yeti cooler of potable water, as well as clean composting toilets. The cabin has a solar battery, enough to charge your devices and plug in a fan or light. Hot showers are available across the road at our sister property! In the cabin, we provide sheets, pillows with pillowcases, and Rumpl blankets. We also provide a fan that has a light on it, and can be charged with the solar battery. These cabins are off-grid - there is no wi-fi, most cell service should work. You will feel like you are camping in the wilderness, while in a cozy bed! We do allow propane fire rings (which are available for rent) certain times of year. Please reach out if you have questions! Please be sure to check the Yosemite website for details on Park Reservations ahead of time if you plan to go Yosemite!

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.

Comfort Camping on Love Creek

5 sites · Lodging2 acres · Avery, CA
Forget the idea that camping means roughing it! We want our guests to experience the outdoors in total comfort, which is why our 6’x8’ stand-up tents come complete with beds. All you need to bring is your own bedding. Our guests tell us that their time here feels like a truly magical escape, and we believe our unique 2.5-acre forest retreat plays a big part in that. A year-round, spring-fed creek meanders through the property, creating a wonderfully serene atmosphere. Our campsites feature well-maintained pads, with lovely views overlooking Love Creek and the lush canyon, all accompanied by the soothing sounds of the creek. For your comfort, we provide a shared outdoor bathroom with a shower. As evening falls, you'll appreciate our thoughtfully placed and artful solar lighting, which creates a pleasant ambiance throughout the surroundings. Our location within a large forested area offers a unique off-grid experience, allowing you to truly connect with nature. Despite this tranquil setting, we are conveniently located just a short 5-minute drive down a paved road to HWY-4. At the corner, you’ll find a 'Day'O' coffee shop, perfect for your morning coffee, and just down the road is the fantastic Red Apple bakery, known for its delicious fresh-baked goods. For groceries, the Arnold supermarket is a quick 8-minute drive. Additionally, the charming town of Murphys, with its impressive selection of over 30 tasting rooms, excellent restaurants, and unique shops, is only a 13-minute drive from our property. Nature lovers will be delighted to know that Big Trees State Park, home to magnificent Sequoia groves, is just a 10-minute drive away. If you're interested in swimming, several beautiful mountain lakes, including Utica Reservoir, Lake Alpine, and the nearby White Pines Lake (only 5 miles away), offer wonderful opportunities. For those seeking adventure, we are located just 1 mile from an extensive network of gravel roads, ideal for activities such as mountain biking, Jeeping, and electric bicycling. We are very much looking forward to the possibility of welcoming you to our unique retreat!

Really beautiful, well constructed cabins. We slept with the door closed and were really worried about the heat because it was already hot with the door open. It honestly was not unbearable with the fan they provided, we slept great. The stars were stunning. The showers were a great touch! Composting toilet was cleaner than any Porti-potty we’ve ever been in. Cabin 2 was accessible in our Subaru. Loved the stay, will come back again for another Yosemite weekend!

Weekend Trip to Yosemite Colfax Spring
We camped at Tioga with our truck and trailer. You're on top of the world with 270+ degree views of the dramatic landscape that surrounds. There was enough room for our truck and trailer (about 40' combined), but you'd need good tires and 4WD because the hill up is steep, and the hill down is super steep. The tables are nice, and we enjoyed the meal we cooked up. The top of the hill is even flat enough to get some sports going. This place is great for someone who wants that amazing view, is going on a river trip with Sierra Mac, or who's friends book adjacent sites. This place isn't as good for someone who places a high value on shade or privacy.

4 nights at Red Tail Ranch at Yosemite
We very much enjoyed our 5 day stay at Red Tail Ranch! It was cute and quiet, and our spot had a beautiful view of an open, peaceful field. We have a 26’ travel trailer and there was plenty of room to maneuver and hook up. We work from the road and used Starlink, which was blazing fast every day. The two ranch dogs stopped by daily and were friendly to us and our dog. And we even had a mama and baby deer visit one morning! We visited Yosemite one of the days we were there and it was an easy, pleasant drive. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we hope to return next year!

Best privately owned campsite I’ve stayed at. People were super friendly and the location is great. Close enough to Groveland for supplies/food/beer and easy drive into Yosemite. Bathhouse is top notch here for a campsite. The ONLY thing that sucked, which the hosts have zero control over, was the wind at this site overnight. Kept me up both nights. So being earplugs or something of the sort.

Weekend Trip to Red Tail Ranch at Yosemite
We had a great stay at Robb’s place. Our first two nights the campground was fully booked (or close to it) but the sites are so well spaced you’d never know. It was quiet and we had plenty of space (far more than at some camps). The bathrooms were clean and well maintained and the outdoor shower was awesome. My kids loved it so much they actually wanted to shower. (If you’re a parent of young boys, you know this is not the norm!). The communal kitchen space was also a really nice feature. It was perfect for washing dishes and made clean up so much easier. We also had our two dogs so having access to the dog run area was amazing! Definitely recommend staying here if you want to be near the park but not in the park.

The winery onsite was great. The flush toilets and potable water were a little further from the campsites than I expected but the port-o-potties next to the sites were very clean and there was handwashing water next to every one.

Red Tail Ranch is very serene and is exactly as described. It’s the perfect base camp for visiting Yosemite (20 miles to Big Oak Flat Entrance) and river rafting the Tuolumne River! RV Site #1 is the ideal space with full hookups. My husband and I booked the spot for six nights. We felt safe leaving our trailer unattended for two days while we were on Tuolumne River. Robb is friendly and promptly answered any questions we had. Overall, I highly recommend Red Tail Ranch for all your camping needs.

A Hidden Gem for Campers and Art Lovers Alike We can’t say enough good things about this campsite! The sites themselves are spacious, peaceful, and thoughtfully laid out—perfect for tents and car camping. But what really sets this place apart is the cool art scattered throughout the grounds. The whimsical sculptures blend perfectly with the natural setting, making it feel like you're camping inside an outdoor gallery. The service was truly top-notch. Michel (our host) was warm, welcoming, and eager to help. He clearly cares about making sure every guest has a great experience. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or trying it out for the first time, this place makes it easy to relax and enjoy. Highly recommend if you're looking for a mix of nature, creativity, (good wine) and hospitality. Can’t wait to come back!

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.

Camp SourBerry (near Yosemite)

2 sites · RVs40 acres · Oakhurst, CA
Welcome to Camp SourBerry! Here, you can park your home-on-wheels in a private space 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. The parking location is an ease pull-through for passenger vehicles and shorter trailers. People with longer, taller trailers find it easier to pull-in and back out. The best view is on the passenger side of the drive! 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.

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.
