Dragonfly Ranch offers an inviting camping experience with a warm, welcoming vibe. Visitors frequently mention the friendly and responsive hosts, Lily and Leo, who go out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. The campground's peaceful atmosphere, clean amenities, and charming features like solar lights and on-site chickens add to the appeal. While the occasional presence of insects and animals is noted, it doesn’t seem to detract significantly from guests' overall enjoyment.

We had an awesome stay here and were treated extremely well by Lily and the groundskeeper Leo. Beautiful land and a convenient commute into Yosemite. Highly recommend!

I had a blast camping at #2 campsite at Dragonfly Ranch! We stayed for 2 nights and we enjoyed the experience including the charming campsite (with lights for evening ambiance), the clean port-a-potties, the outdoor shower and the friendly and elegant chickens and roosters! We also enjoyed the picturesque Rainbow Pools just a few miles away (15 min drive)! Lily was very communicative and helped us with all our questions and needs. A great time was had by all!

Dragonfly Ranch is one of my favorite camp grounds near Yosemite. I have stayed there twice and the camp grounds are very well maintained and very clean. Their services on site is also very good and staff is very friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work and I will definitely will be coming again next year!

This was easily the best birding campsite we've ever been to. If you want to get 10 feet from a falcon hunting, or be serenaded by quail all day, then this is the place. Also Adorable chickens follow you around. Super cute. Not only did we see 20+ types of birds, but the campsites are all lovely and every one is right next to the creek! We definitely plan to come back! Highly recommend!

We had a great time camping here! Site six has nice big trees all around it that offer great shade during the day. The string lights at night are a great touch and the propane fire pit was perfect for a little heat. The kids enjoyed roasting marshmallows. The bathrooms were clean and smelled pretty decent considering they are port a pottys. The showers are cold water only but it felt great after a day of hiking in the heat. Lily was quick to respond to any questions we had. The chickens were fun to have around, the kids enjoyed feeding them in the morning. We definitely would camp here again!

Beautiful camp ground! We rented the full spot for a group and it couldn’t have been better!
Lily was very kind and set us up with electric fires. There are pretty solar lights hanging. The stars were incredible and the sound of the frogs was lovely.

The campsite was amazing, and the hosts were wonderful. Port-a potties were maintained very well, cleanest ones I ever been in. Only down side were the excessive amount of bee’s, and the 2 aggressive chickens that were pecking at us.

We absolutely loved this hipcamp site. Lily and the hosts were so kind and helpful in suggesting things to do in the area (there is a super cute town with restaurants/bars/coffee shops) and great swimming holes nearby. The campsite was super lovely with solar lights at night and the nature is so beautiful there...lots of trees, birds, frogs. Overall great experience.

Lily was an amazing host. Very accommodating and responsive. Our site was setup with solar string lights, a picnic table and trash can. We had plenty of room for our 6 person tent and portable shower. There were showers and bathrooms available, both very clean and well kept. We were located by the seasonal creek and fell asleep to the frogs croaking which was lovely. We had a great experience and would recommend this location to other campers.

Campsite #1 was great for 2 people. There was a picnic table, space for a tent, and near the creek so you could hear all the frogs at night. We opted for the fireplace. It was setup upon our arrival and easy to use. The bathrooms and showers were very clean. There were solar string lights hanging to make walking around the campsite very easy at night. Lily was a very accommodating host and responsive. Overall, a great car-camping campsite experience.

Great tent camping site! Lily was a great host and very welcoming. Guard dogs on site were super cute. The creek was lovely and sleeping under the stars was awesome. The frogs in the creek were a little loud at night. It didn't bother us but maybe something to be aware of. Would definitely recommend!

What a great trip! Loved the site, exceptionally beautiful and peaceful. Great for families and kids. The creek was such a great way for the kids to cool off and just enjoy nature and they loved visiting and feeding the chickens. Lily was an amazing host and we look forward to a future visit back.

The campsite and hosts were both fantastic. I highly recommend this site if you are wanting to camp on beautiful land and be near Yosemite. We stayed 3 nights. The bathrooms are clean and the vibe at the camp is peaceful. We heard lots of frogs at night which was really nice white noise. Lily and her husband were very kind and helpful when we had questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Site # 2
Hosts are super nice. The campsite was very clean, and the toilets are kept stocked with TP. The creek was a very nice little feature. There were also nice little touches like solar string lights, and a mason jar lights for the picnic table. On site #2 we were able to fit 2 large tents and one medium tent with plenty of space for an outside hangout area. Be aware this is truly in nature and there will be bugs, but they weren't much of a nuisance.

Lily was amazing. She was prompt to answer any questions we had, and made sure to greet us every morning and evening. The site itself is very well kept, clean, and quiet. We had some travel issues and Lily was beyond accommodating. Perfect location in relation to Yosemite if you’re looking for a place with close access to the park. And she has a cute dog!
