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 Mike And Di's Retreat- 15 min to NP
The tree tents were so unique! A nice mix of camp and glamp. We were lucky enough to have the highest tree tent with the best views, so getting up there was worth the hike! Just pack light unlike us lol. Will definitely be recommending this to everyone and we hope to come back again soon!

2 nights at Mike And Di's Retreat- 15 min to NP
Everything about the tree hugger tents exceeded our expectations. The bed was super comfortable and roomy, and we kept cozy, even during wind and rain. It was great having some space in the fridge and cooking supplies. We were glad to have brought a sheet and light blanket, since it was a bit too warm for a sleeping bag. The road up is a bit steep, but we were able to steer around the few ruts, even with our low clearance Tesla. We were a bit nervous after climbing to that elevation, since there is no EV charging in the parks, but it worked out fine for us with some careful planning. All in all, a really great experience!

We enjoyed the uniques location and setup of this campground. We stayed in the tree tents and they were well designed with hot showers and faucet along with a toilet on the deck. Also on the deck was a bench that doubled as a storage box and was great for keeping our belongings while we were away. The tent itself was roomy and actually had enough room where we could stand up in it if we needed to. The location was beautiful and quiet at night and our family really enjoyed being outside and seeing the night sky in the dark surroundings.

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!

Weekend Trip to Mike And Di's Retreat- 15 min to NP
We stayed at the tree tent for a weekend in June and loved it! It was a good base camp between going to both Sequioa and Kings Canyon NP. It was comfortable and cool enough at night to leave the screens open. It has a little movement when moving in the tent which was expected. The shower was wonderful after hiking and exploring all day. Would stay again!

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.

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!

My sister and I had the absolute best time staying here! The treehouse was everything and more. We really appreciated all the small details, like heater and blankets, and took full advantage of the patio and great outdoor shower as a reprieve from our week of camping. Would absolutely stay here again!
