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.

Diamond Gulch Camp
This campsite & John, the host, was great! If you’re camping as a couple or as a family with kids, this is the perfect place for both. Access to potable water throughout the campground, frequently serviced portapottys, and steaming hot showers. The campground sits on his approximately 800 acres of property with dozens of cows freely roaming right outside the campground enclosure. The best part about this campground is how secluded the campground feels how close it is to a city. The drive to town is 15 minutes more or less, but you don’t feel like you’re that close to a city because it’s so quiet and the only property you see surrounding the area is that of the owners My family and I will definitely be coming back here in the future

Site 3 - Walt’s Mining Camp 1893
Absolutely beautiful ranch. Quite possibly the best campground I've ever stayed in. Booked to visit Yosemite, but spent more time at Diamond Gulch. It was truly serene and I hope to camp there again.

Great setting. Though we didn't want to jump on the internet but had full 5g service as well! Nice for streaming some classic movies for the kids.

Gorgeous scenery surrounding the whole campsite. Cows watching us enjoy our morning coffee and stargazing during nighttime. Truly magical. And the amenities that are there are an added bonus (love a good post hike shower)

Wonderful stay!
Walt’s Camp Tent
Great camp with awesome views! Stayed in one of the pre pitched tents, was convenient. Had a minor issue with a shower, and the host quickly came and showed me how to resolve. Very close to Yosemite!
