26mi from Tuttletown · 13 sites · Tents, RVs · Groveland, CA

Welcome to Your Basecamp for Yosemite Adventure 🌲⛰ Just 15–20 minutes from the entrance of Yosemite National Park and about an hour from the Yosemite Valley floor, our camp offers the perfect location to recharge after exploring one of the most iconic natural landscapes on Earth. We’re also about 1.5 hours from the high-country beauty of Tuolumne Meadows, making this a great launchpad for day trips in every direction. Perched in the scenic Sierra foothills, our dry camping sites are celebrated for breathtaking panoramic views, open skies, and unforgettable sunrises and starry nights. It’s an ideal place to unwind, reconnect, and experience the outdoors in its raw beauty — without giving up the comfort of flushing toilets and hot, on-demand showers. Most of our sites are best suited for those who plan to explore during the day and return in the evening, as they receive full sun and have limited shade throughout the midday hours (during the summer months). For those looking to hang around camp during the day, we recommend bringing a shade canopy or pop-up to make your stay more comfortable. Whether you’re here for epic hikes, rock climbs, or peaceful views, our camp is a restful and rustic homebase nestled close to the wonders of Yosemite.

If you are looking for man made and leveled campsites, then this is not your basecamp. This land is a gorgeous 20 acres that means a lot to us. It's space to find your peace of mind and pitch a tent or hammock, as you would when hiking the backcountry. Aside from complimentary ice water, potty, shower, soaps, sanitizer, sunscreen, first aid, communal fire pit, wood stove and dishwashing area) this is not "glamping". If you are a person who appreciates nature and making due with what the land has provided, then we are a great fit. Guests have 20 acres to find a secluded, or socially distanced spot to pitch camp. This is for people that know how to camp in the backcountry - Without a trash can, who don’t leave cigarette butts, respect the land and would rather not be sectioned off. Flat areas are all over if you explore, and use your feet to brush aside rocks and twigs, to lay down a tent base, as we do every time we camp in the backcountry. The geography of these mountains is just that, hills and mountains. The vista at the top of the property is gorgeous and easily camps 5 tents spaced out. The property does offer many other great camping areas, and I’m more than happy to point them out. Yosemite is 30 minutes away, Don Pedro lake is 30 minutes, Cherry Lake is 30 minutes, Preston falls and Carlon falls are both 30 min away. Downtown Groveland Is 7 minutes away, and other historic towns are not too far. Close to many swimming holes. Rainbow pools is 15 minutes away. 10 min from the local grocery store and other local shops. Base Camp is just off of highway 120. Sonora has a great farmers market on Sunday and is a beautiful 40 min drive away. Thank you for taking time to read this, we look forward to hosting you! -Best Jarrett & Bo

2 nights at Yosemite Colfax Spring

My husband and I had an amazing stay at this campsite! The bathrooms were extremely clean and well-maintained, with two separate restrooms each equipped with a sink. The showers had reliably hot water. The campsite itself came with a picnic table and benches, a fire ring (with propane available to rent for an additional fee), and a nicely leveled area perfect for setting up tents. There were convenient small water stations nearby. The views were beautiful, and the site was very easy to find thanks to the clear and detailed instructions from Leeza and Tom. They were incredibly responsive and diligent hosts, making the entire process—from locating the site to settling in—smooth and stress-free. The location is also excellent: just about 40–50 minutes from the Yosemite entrance, making it a convenient and affordable option for exploring the park. For our first time camping in a car and visiting Yosemite, this was the ideal spot. We really enjoyed our stay and are already planning to return. Perfect for a one-night weekend getaway from the city. Highly recommended! 🌲✨

Sierra Circles was wonderful! I had the camping area to myself due to the time of year and it was the perfect blend of a quiet experience in the woods that I was looking for and close enough to Murphy's to be able to pick up a few supplies. Check in was super easy and the hosts were very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.

The Hipcamp was perfect for our RV, we just pulled right up to the deck. No worries about rocks or stickers! Morning view with coffee was peaceful and the starry night was beyond words. The water fill station was convenient and the bathrooms were clean and comfortable. We came out to enjoy Yosemite and we were so close to the gate we lounged in the morning and got to the park so early we had the best parking space for our 24ft. Lastly, there are beautiful river spots on the way to Yosemite. Hope the review was helpful!

1 night at Camp 🏕 Gold Dust Vineyard

We stayed here to celebrate my husband’s birthday with our 9-month-old, and it was such a wonderful experience. We loved that we could upgrade provisions, we used the propane tank for the fire pit and the pour-over coffee setup, which came with freshly roasted beans (amazing!). The whole place has this relaxing, no-nonsense vibe that we really appreciated. We went during the fall, and it was so beautiful seeing the vines changing color. The electric blanket made our night cozy and comfortable even when it got chilly. Aaron was outstanding. His hospitality, knowledge, and genuine passion for his craft really stood out. We enjoyed wine tasting, hanging out in the “vincade,” and my husband watched a bit of Monday Night Football! The wine was fantastic, and we were so impressed we ended up joining the wine club. The yurt was spacious and comfy, the bed was great, and there was plenty of room for our daughter to crawl around. The portapotty was clean, and everything felt thoughtfully maintained. Just an overall relaxing, memorable trip. Can’t wait to come back!

As usual, the site was very clean and bathrooms were kept well. We booked site 8, a bit higher up with views of the waterfall. Sleeping with the sound of gushing water is something you don't do everyday :)

It’s a private and relaxing gem close to Yosemite. Went on a Monday and no one was around. Pretty much had the whole place to ourselves

We had a nice stay at Sierra Circles camping site, Iron Teepee. We went wine tasting ant Brice Station and really enjoyed both the wine and the friendly host. The campsite was well maintained. We appreciated that Michel, our host, took the time to chop extra wood for us- it was a nice touch.

Lovely campsite on the way in or out of Yosemite. We were there in mid October and the weather was perfectly cool. I would have loved to stay on the way out but weather on 120 changed our plans. Nice to have a clean, warm showers and clean normal bathrooms just a short walk away from Camp 4. Appreciated the offer of towels though we had our own. Lovely views from the site, of rolling hills and the waterfalls below. Enjoyed a nice evening and morning sit on the platform taking it all in.

Yosemite Falls was a good campsite! My fiancée and I enjoyed the view while staying in our tent. It’s a great beginner-friendly campsite with lots of amenities. Free warm showers, clean bathrooms, drinking water near the campsite, and more! There’s also free Wi-Fi and signal at the campsite, which was a plus. It’s good to note that it’s right next to a highway and a buzzing cell tower that could get noisy at night. There is 1 short hiking trail that can be fully explored in about 10 minutes. The entire campground is about a 20-25 min walk. Because of the lack of activities, my fiancée and I were bored most of the time. We were also surprised at how close other campsites were from us. Privacy would be a problem if all sites were filled. Pros: -Great view -Amenities (drinking water, bathroom, warm shower, trash can) -Sand pit makes tent floor flat and nice -Welcoming hosts -Wi-Fi/signal Cons: -Next to a noisy highway -Next to a noisy cell tower that constantly buzzes -Lack of activities (little to no trail) -Lack of privacy (very close to other campers) Overall 6.5/10 it’s a great campsite and I would recommend this to all first-time campers for the view and amenities.

Weekend Trip to Yosemite Colfax Spring

Stayed at Upper Tuolumne Camp with my family and had a great experience. The campsite itself is on the smaller side, but it still fit my full-size truck and rooftop tent setup without issue. The framed sand pad meant for a ground tent actually made a perfect spot for our portable gas fire pit. The highlight of this site is the view — a wide, open overlook of the valley that felt far more scenic than what we saw at other nearby spots. A tip for arrival: we missed the entrance in the dark. Look for actual yellow car doors mounted on a large metal gate — that’s the access point. The bathroom and shower facilities were in excellent condition and only about a two-minute walk down the hill from our site. Campsites are fairly close together, but other Hipcampers were considerate, and we ended up chatting and hanging out with a neighboring family, which added to the experience. There are a few short trails on the property with nice vantage points a quick walk from camp. As noted in the listing, large powerlines run through the property. They give off a faint buzzing but it was barely noticeable and didn’t affect our stay. We camped in mid-October — daytime temps were in the upper 60s to low 70s, nights dropped into the 40s but we came prepared. The site was clean, had a trash can and picnic table, and communication with the hosts through the app was quick and easy. Best unexpected perk: zero bugs this time of year — no flies, no mosquitos, just a few bats passing through at dusk.

This location was wonderful! We planned last minute to visit Yosemite and had no idea how wonderful of a stay we would have! Wow! You can't beat it! Warm showers and towels and really nice bathrooms! We plugged in and also had access to WIFI....what a treat! WE feel so SPOILED! Who knew! Thanks so much to the hosts for thinking of everything including really nice body wash/ shampoo in the showers. Brilliant!

Weekend Trip to River Oaks Camp

Glamping at the yurt at River Oaks Camp was a peaceful getaway on a lovely property with impromptu visits by deer, turkeys, woodpeckers and toads. Wonderful hosts, friendly dogs, and engaging farm animals, and the river would have been terrific on a hot summer day. Apple Hill farms and businesses are a short drive away. Recommended.
