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

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 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.

Gorgeous sunrise view from inside the cabin

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!

2 nights at Yosemite Colfax Spring

The views were incredible and the bathrooms and showers were excellent. Great campsite. Would absolutely stay again.

1 night at River Ranch Campgrounds

Host was excellent in helping me choose a campsite I needed. I had a site right next to the creek. Creek was clean and easy access. It was exactly what I needed. I camped at 10c and would recommend either going on a less busy day or in a larger group to rent 10c and 11c together.

4 nights at Red Tail Ranch at Yosemite

A Peaceful Mountain Escape – Just What We Needed After Yosemite We absolutely loved our stay at Red Tail Ranch. After long days of hiking in Yosemite, it was the perfect peaceful retreat to return to. The hour-long drive from Yosemite Valley to the ranch was actually part of the experience—we enjoyed winding down through the scenic forest roads, watching the light change across the mountains. By the time we pulled into the ranch each evening, we felt completely at ease. The property is beautiful and thoughtfully maintained. We especially fell in love with the outdoor shower and composting toilets—there’s something magical about showering under the open sky after a dusty day on the trails. The peaceful, rustic charm of Red Tail Ranch made us feel connected to nature in a way we don’t get to experience often. One unexpected highlight? The turkey sanctuary! It was such a delight to see the turkeys strutting around, living their best lives. It added an extra layer of charm and serenity to an already unforgettable place. If you’re looking for a quiet, rejuvenating base after exploring Yosemite, Red Tail Ranch is it. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already dreaming about coming back

1 night at Yosemite Colfax Spring

Nice bathroom facilities, gorgeous views and beautiful stars. I'd camp here again.

5 nights at Nolla A-Frames Near Yosemite

Cabin 1 was the perfect getaway for my girlfriend and I! The cabin was super comfortable and private, not to mention the gorgeous surrounding view. The showers and bathrooms across the street were convenient and clean. In addition, the cabin is only an hour drive from Yosemite Valley, so traveling back and forth was not an issue at all. Liza and Tom were excellent hosts and we cannot thank them enough for our experience. They responded to all of our messages within 5-10 minutes and assisted us upon request. 10/10 would recommend!

2 nights at Yosemite Colfax Spring

Great place to stay! Quiet place, great shower and bathroom!

Until over a hundred years later, In 1976 when our founder fell in love with this remote property and purchased the land and we began rebuilding the I-Bar camp from the ground up and opened it to our members. It didn't hurt that somewhere close by Our founder found a 800oz pocket of gold. Even today, Prospecting for gold is encouraged!

Camp SourBerry (near Yosemite)

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.

Moore Creek Placer Claim

2 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Buck Meadows, CA

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.

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!

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.

Moccasin Campground - Don Pedro Lake

31 sitesLa Grange, CA

The Don Pedro Reservoir stands out as a remarkable feat of engineering and a vital resource for the surrounding communities, offering a blend of irrigation, recreation, and ecological benefits. Originally constructed in 1923 by the Turlock and Modesto irrigation districts, the original Don Pedro Dam had a storage capacity of just 289,000 acre-feet, which proved insufficient for the irrigation demands of a single growing season. In response to several dry winters, the districts opted to build a larger dam to ensure adequate water storage for multiple dry years. In collaboration with the City and County of San Francisco, the irrigation districts embarked on what was then referred to as the New Don Pedro Project. The term "New" was eventually dropped after the original dam was submerged by the expanded reservoir. Today, the site is simply known as the Don Pedro Reservoir, Don Pedro Lake, or Lake Don Pedro. San Francisco's financial investment in the project allowed the city to relieve itself of upstream flood control responsibilities on the Tuolumne River while gaining increased operational flexibility. Through a sophisticated banking and accounting system, San Francisco can pre-release water into Don Pedro, which then becomes the property of the irrigation districts. This arrangement enables San Francisco to divert upstream flows that would otherwise belong to the districts, promoting the conservation
