Beautiful Secluded Mountain Camping
Road to property was anything but smooth. We bounced all the way to the yurts, two portable outhouses there. After looking up the hill towards our designated camp site all l could imagin my 2 wbeel drive sliding right back down. Not a blde of grass and lots of rocks. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

It may be a little out of the way but we’ll worth it. Quite, peaceful and great views of the stars. It’s great to get away from the crowd, the noise, just relax and enjoy the scenery.

It's a nice place, with clean water, and two toilets.
But the first night after 10 PM, one car drive directly to our tent even we already use a flashlight on them.
Our kids stay in the tent, if we didn't stand outside I wonder those young people will hit our tent, please give all visitors to this campground strong notice, we love this beautiful place but hope it is more safety.

Great spot for a large group
Jeffrey's property was beautiful! I had a large group of 15 people and I rented out 4 of the campsites in order to allow us to spread out. Jeffrey was extremely helpful and communicative leading up to and during the weekend, making our stay really easy. The views surrounding the campsites are gorgeous, beautiful sunsets, stunning stars, and just a lot of space to feel alone with your friends/family in nature.
As Jeffrey and many people mention, there is no shade and it got really hot, but we rented a couple EZ-Up canopies from Sports Basement for the weekend, hung some tarps from them, and we were just fine.
We spent most of the day on Saturday at a spot near the Mokelumne River, just a ~15 minute drive from the site, which was perfect for the hot weekend.
In terms of the amenities, the porto-potties were the cleanest I've ever been in and easy to get to, and it was easy to fill up our water gallons using Jeffrey's tank. Everything is as described in listing.
I would definitely recommend coming back here either with a large group or just you and a friend.

Beautiful Secluded Mountain Camping
Hello, Starlight
My family and I enjoyed a Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning in warm weather on top of a hill with ample privacy. Our site, #6, with the Glass House has its own pathway/entrance away from the rest of the sites. We didn't take advantage in exploring the rest of the property because we were content with spending our time relaxing on our own Island in the Sky bubble.
We did not meet our host, Jeffrey, in person, but he was quick and responsive when we asked for help or had questions and went above and beyond with instructions and tips about his property. We had no issues finding our way.
Site: 6, Glass House. Steep hill to drive up to, but doable in our van on a dry day. Has a fun structure with fairy lights to hang out in.
Length: 1 weekend night
Amenities:
Water, 5 gallons max from a tank behind the yurt, honor code, pull the green lever open. (We thought the tank was empty, but it was user error. Jeffrey kindly instructed me on how to get it going.)
Portable toilets, in front of yurt near gate.
Tips:
No natural shade, bring a pop up canopy or another type of shade.
The roads are dusty, drive slow for everyone's safety.
Located in Calavares County, be prepared to have a plan B in case of a Fire Ban (no campfires allowed). Charcoal grills, gas firepits, gas BBQ and gas stoves are allowed. We roasted marshmallows over charcoal and it worked just fine.
For water, I suggest to haul in your own if you have the trunk space. It is a decent walk from the sites to the water tank.
Glass House warms up quickly and stays warm/hot. I recommend bringing a portable fan during warmer seasons.

Jeffrey was really good at communicating and was super helpful especially when it was going to be super hot and he messaged us two days before our trip to recommend that we pack a canopy! Beautiful views day and night would love to go back :)
