Headwaters RV #1

Serene gateway with stunning night

I had a wonderful time camping at Robb’s land! The place was peaceful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The facilities were well-maintained, and having electricity available was a great convenience. The highlight was definitely the stunning night view—the starry sky was absolutely beautiful and added to the overall charm of the experience. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a serene escape into nature!

Great Gray Owl Camp

Very nice place to stay. Communal area is pretty cool to hang out. We saw a few deer directly at our campsite. Bathrooms are nice, and the outdoor showers were kinda cool.

Fabulous campsite

Lovely place to camp. Lots of space. Space #2 has a large, cool deck to hang out in. It’s about 40 minutes to the Yosemite entrance and in the other direction, 15 minutes from the darling town of Groveland. The owner was very responsive and helpful with answering questions about what to do in Yosemite and Groveland.

Headwaters RV #2

Wow, What a cool place! Nice camp spaces, trails, wildlife walks through, great Barn area for relaxing, clean flushing toilets, outdoor showers with hot water, access to a kitchen area. So many great views every direction, and beautiful sunsets and sunrise. Only 32 miles to Yosemite. We also added-on the Book and it’s awesome too, we are looking forward to buying the next one.👍 Robb was kind enough to drive up to our site and personally drop off his autographed book. He also gave some recommendations on our way out to stop by Mountain Sage Coffee which also features a photo gallery, mini thrift and a nursery. His photography is amazing and so is the coffee, chai tea and breakfast sandwiches. We enjoyed Groveland, it’s a cute town with great food options and shops to visit along with the market it has a little of everything. We recommend staying a few nights at Red Tail Ranch and take your time soaking up all the beauty nature offers. 👍❤️

Headwaters RV #1

We enjoyed our stay at Headwaters. It was quiet and felt remote while not being too far from local amenities. Clean and comfortable, it was a good base camp for visiting Yosemite.
