Ansel's View RV at Cedar Springs Retreats

Onsite RV/trailer · Sleeps 3 · 1 bedroom · 1 bed · 1 toilet

Ansel's View is a cozy RV designed for comfort and convenience. It features a full-size bed, a convertible dinette table into bed for kids or petite guest, and a quaint kitchenette with a fridge, freezer, and sink. Stay comfortable year-round with heating and A/C. Enjoy the privacy of your own bathroom with a toilet, sink, and shower. With ample storage and thoughtful touches, it’s the perfect retreat for rest, family time, or quiet moments in nature. Just 45 minutes from Yosemite’s south entrance, hidden among towering cedars and ancient sequoias, lies a sanctuary of stillness and wild beauty. Here, on 92 private acres in the golden Sierra foothills, time slows. The air is fragrant with pine, cedar, and sun-warmed earth. The sky opens wide above you. Follow winding forest trails to secluded swimming holes; some with soothing waterfalls. Glide across the glassy waters of Manzanita Lake in one of our complimentary kayaks as ducks and geese swim by. You might even spot a blue heron! Watch the sun slip behind the hills in a blaze of color, and fall asleep beneath a canopy of twinkling stars to the call of owls and even a chorus of tree frogs in the spring. Wake to birdsong, sip morning coffee in the Shady Grove as deer and rabbit wander by, and let the day magically unfold with quiet wonder. Beneath the sheltering limbs of a 250-year-old sequoia, breathe deeply. You are standing in the presence of something ancient, enduring. Down by the river, carved boulders bear the marks of native peoples who once gathered here—grinding acorns into flour, leaving behind quiet traces of a life attuned to the land. The past is always whispering. Adventure is close: miles of wild trails, clear lakes, and cascading waterfalls surround you, and Yosemite National Park is always waiting for adventure lovers. Whether you’re seeking solitude, inspiration, or simply a return to something real, you’ll find your place here.

Cute piece of property

Woodland Meadows Tent Sites

We really enjoyed our stay on this property! It was very convenient to have a dining hall to keep our food stored in a fridge, away from any wild animals and was a nice place to take a break from the heat when needed. The dock is also at the perfect swimming spot and close to another lake option as well.

The site was beautiful; there was a little dining hall to chitchat, a lake with gorgeous views, and some friendly deer that grazed near our tent. The site is located just outside of Yosemite Park, which was perfect for our hiking trip. My friends and I had an amazing time! Would definitely go back.
