Dragonfly Ranch is a welcoming spot that resonates with campers seeking a mix of nature and comfort. The ranch comes alive with friendly chickens, and the hosts, Lily and Leo, are noted for their warmth and attentiveness. It's well-located for trips to Yosemite, with clean amenities including showers and port-a-potties that receive positive mentions. While most experiences are positive, a few reviews mention aggressive chickens and bees, though these seem to be isolated incidents.

Really great Hipcamp! The amenities were excellent, including propane showers (they get very hot!), propane fire pits, and a grill. Lily and her groundskeeper were very helpful and communicated with us every step of the way to make sure we had a great trip! We will definitely be back next time we have a group trip and need to rent a large space. Thanks!!

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.

Amazing, well kept camping spots. Tent site #1 was cute and the sound of the stream and frogs sang us to sleep. Incredibly peaceful. Lily was nothing but kind and generous, would stay again!

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!

Really clean and nice campground, had a great time. Appreciate them for being so accommodating with us in every aspect. Campgrounds are beautiful, they are a bit closer to one another than expected, but we were lucky enough to have the place to ourself. Would 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.
