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.

Greetings Hipcampers, 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. We are rugged, so you provide your own toilet facilities. 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. During the summer there are stickers that tent to get stuck in fluffy hair/fur. 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. Best, Chelsea

Camp SourBerry offers a peaceful and scenic retreat, ideal for those seeking solitude and natural beauty. While the hosts, Chelsea and Wayne, are noted for their warmth and helpfulness, the location strikes a perfect balance between seclusion and convenience, being close to town yet feeling remote. Guests consistently highlight the tranquility, starry skies, and a clean site equipped with basic amenities like a fire pit and picnic table. However, occasional disturbances like distant barking dogs or wild animals are mentioned by some visitors.

Quiet little spot

Camp SourBerry (near Yosemite)
Great little quiet spot up on the hill behind town. Nice flat pull thru with a picnic table, umbrella and a couple of comfy chairs. Chelsea was responsive and provided a great video on how to get there. Other than hearing a few farm animals off in the distance you literally have complete solitude and quiet. Ensure you are bringing your own water.

A bit out of the way due to some construction, but a beautiful, quiet piece of property. Chelsea was super helpful with directions and her husband graciously helped me when I got stuck(my fault!). A nice, helpful couple.

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!

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!

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!

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!

We had such a fantastic time here! The location was easy to find thanks to the directions provided, the amenities were nice when we wanted to enjoy the open air, the proximity to town was really helpful when searching for extra supplies, and the location to Yosemite made it very accessible no matter how busy your day is!! Definitely will camp here again!

This was a perfect stop over from our long drive headed North from Southern California. We arrived at night and finding it was no problem, given the hosts directions on video. I only wished we could have stayed for another night. Very relaxing and not to far off the road, but far enough.

Chelsea was a very helpful host, communicating directions clearly and offering to assist, if needed. The location was nice and peaceful. You can hear cows, roosters and the occasional dog in the distance. It's great she allows dogs, but I suggest keeping them out of the uncut grass around the parking area. Prickly seeds covered our dog and it took about 2 hours to remove them all. Other than that, it was a nice stay.

Excellent site, lots of space, lots of shade, and lots of stars. There were a lot of yellow-jackets, but they weren't aggressive. The dirt road to the site was passable by "two-wheel drive with bald tires." Would absolutely recommend.

Yosemite Serenity on the Farm
19 ft Class B ·
Camp SourBerry (near Yosemite)
A quiet, serene and secluded space not far from the southern entrance to Yosemite. This beautiful farm space has you atop a hill with open skies, trees and brush all around. Watching the sky go pink and red all around at dusk, with roosters crowing in the distance...this will be etched in my mind. If you want to escape the crowds of the nearby campgrounds and enjoy the escape, this place is for you. Chelsea and her husband do a great job caring for the property. It's a space, a picnic table and - when not in high fire risk season - a lovely fire pit and chairs. In the morning, Chelsea invited us to bring our child by to meet and feed her ewes, and even helped us get some farm fresh eggs. She's so nice and really cares about providing a great experience. Supermarkets and charming shops 10 minutes away, Mariposa Grove entrance about 30 minutes, and Bass Lake for swimming, boating and Sea Doo-ing 15 minutes away (I recommend lunch at Ducey's). Would return and recommend!

a safe place for camping small groups, protected and very quiet just a few minutes from the city and the lake, just don't forget to bring insect repellent, traps for bees because many arrive in the morning to collect honey, at night there are quite a few crickets that They catch on in the tents but it is normal in the forest, just as a recommendation to bring something for all types of insects.
