CLOSE TO YOSEMITE! Explore the mines and hang out on our Groveland, California ranch! We are 35 minutes to the main gate of Yosemite National Park. A great place to stay just outside of the park. We have 824 acres on a beautiful cattle ranch with two small ponds. On our property, you'll find frogs, turtles, oak trees, pine trees and stunning views of Yosemite. We have several campsites to choose from including RV camping, tent camping, and a glamping tent. Pets are welcome. Campfires are permitted as long as there is no fire ban. Potable water and toilet are available onsite. There's a golf course less than a mile away. We are also very close to town. In just a few minutes, you can drive to our local grocery store and pizza parlour. We are a 10-minute drive to Pine Mountain Lake. Beautiful Pine Mountain Lake offers golfing, dining, horseback riding, water sports and an airport. When you come to the ranch it feels like you are hundreds of miles away from civilization, but still close to everything you need. It is incredibly peaceful! This is a great place for someone who wants to escape city life and enjoy the tranquillity of nature. Much of the ranch is open wilderness for you to explore, and it's not uncommon to see deer, frogs, turtles, quail, turkeys, or other countless species of birds. Diamond Gulch Camp is the perfect place to relax if you’re a photographer, artist, family or a group of friends looking for a place to camp near Yosemite. A small portion of the property was used as a gold mine years ago, and you may find remnants of old home sites if you go exploring. We're not far from Wards Ferry Road, Groveland, Lake Don Pedro and other interesting places.

Group Tent site camping (10 guests)
Great spot for family camping!
Our group absolutely loved camping on John’s property. John is very nice, and you can tell he cares a great deal about his land. We were camping with six adults and three kids all under 2 years old. John told us where the animals were hanging out, including where the newest baby donkey was that was only a day old! Firewood was provided with the camp site, and having bathrooms, a sink, and a hot shower if needed was a big bonus! Thanks, John, for making our first camping trip with our 15mo old a blast!

The spot was nice, great views. I planned an October trip, didn't realize a heat wave would present, so only thing I would suggest is if it's going to be warm, bring a fan. The grounds were clean and well maintained and I would recommend this spot. Peaceful and quiet.
