Robinson Mine Basecamp

Thomas and Deborah were amazing hosts but Annie (best camp dog ever) really stole the show. What a cutie. I was given super clear instructions how to get to the site and was given a walking escort to the site and lots of helpful details. Will absolutely be staying there again when I next visit the park!

Great stay! The hosts were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. We saw lots of wildlife while camping, which made the experience worth it for us! . We also had cell service, so staying in communication was super easy and convenient. We’d definitely stay here again!

Lovely little campsite next to Groveland. Very secluded, lots of space, and very quiet (didn't hear a single vehicle all night). Owners were welcoming, communicative, and helpful. Thanks!

Tom and Debbie were very helpful with letting us know some of the cool places around the area to check out and have fun. Their site is very clean and well thought out. The site they recommend to stay at was great for star gazing at night. My family and I had a great experience with them.

This would have been my 3rd stay... a back country mishap and a change in timing meant me and my crew missed our stay. I will say we were looking forward to our spot and the hosts who are always welcoming and kind. The spot is clean and open and perfect whether you are coming or going into the Y park. It's moments from Groveland which serves as a great watering hole and many places to dine and even grocery shop. I sincerely look forward to the next chance I can stay at this spot!

Tom and Debbie are wonderful, welcoming hosts and this is a charming spot right in Groveland. We loved seeing a sky full of stars and having a place tucked into the woodlands

This campsite worked well for my needs. It was just a few minutes from Mountain Sage, where I was attending a concert, so very convenient, Debbie was welcoming, communicative, and accommodated my request to arrive early. I also appreciated the very clean port-a-potty and handwashing station. Happy with my stay.

The place was amazing. The site felt very secluded, but also close enough to town where it wasn’t a hassle to get things from the store. The hosts were extremely accommodating and helpful in every way. Will stay here again for sure.

This was a great place to stay if you’re planning on going to a Yosemite. Debbie and Tom were great hosts! Kind, attentive and very helpful. The site we had was tucked away in a cute corner and had a good amount of shade.

A beautiful campground in the forest and just 30 minutes outside of Yosemite! My friends and I stayed here for a weekend and the hosts could not have been more helpful with planning, giving us directions, and giving us some great suggestions for fun things to do in the area. The campground was beautiful, spacious, and had a super clean porta potty and handwashing station. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Tom and Debbie are the sweetest hosts! Very cute and spacious campsite. Nice, clean porta potty and hand wash station. Close to Yosemite and also stores in Groveland; truly the best of both worlds! We would definitely come back!

I had a great experience staying here. Tom and Debbie were incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful throughout my visit. They made the stay feel easy and comfortable. The location is very convenient, about a mile off the main road. It feels quiet and somewhat secluded while still being close to everything you might need. You can occasionally hear cars passing, but overall it is peaceful. There are several restaurants and a gas station just a few minutes away, which is a big plus. A couple of tips: be prepared for mosquitoes and bring your own drinking water. There is also a small portable toilet available on-site, which is helpful. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again.

Like the title states it was a very nice experience. Right off the bat Thomas, Deborah and Aaron were very responsive on how to arrive to the site. All were very friendly and helpful. Plus the campsite is only about 40mins from Yosemite and other hiking trails which is so nice. There is also a local brewery and eateries that are must try’s. Definitely had a great experience and will recommend to friends and family.

The convenience to Yosemite couldn't be beat for the price. We appreciated the cute touches of camp lights and the wash station at the bathroom; the view of the stars was amazing and the space was quiet. Finding a flat spot was tough, but we made do and would come back again - excited to hear about the plans the hosts have for more leveling and appreciated the warm welcome!

Perfectly situated just 30 minutes from the Yosemite National Park...we were able to cook, rest, and hear/see lots of wildlife all while having some privacy at our camp spot. We loved it here & the hosts are just the sweetest and most helpful folks. 💜

I camped here on a visit to Yosemite and had a great time! Thomas and Deborah were very helpful and easy to communicate with so the space was easy to find. They also gave suggestions for places to checkout nearby that I can’t recommend enough: Priest Station for amazing food (went for lunch) and Rainbow Pool for a beautiful and refreshing swim! Also, for people who want to do Tesla camping, there is a supercharger just a few minutes away!

Had a great time camping here. It was such a great experience. The host had a great suggestion to go to the pools during mid-afternoon to avoid the heat. We used this as a go between and spend the second day mostly in Yosemite coming back to camp for rest making smooth transition back to the road back home.

Cool area. Far enough out of the way to feel quiet, yet close enough to town to not feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Deborah, Thomas, and Aaron were great hosts, very friendly.

We had a great one night stay! Debbie was a wonderful communicator both before and during our arrival. We had a good amount of space for our car and tent. The bathroom was clean and well stocked. Great views of the stars at night. The town of Groveland is a few minutes away, and we were able to get to Hetch Hetchy bright and early the next morning for some hiking. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Yosemite and nearby areas!

The land owners are great people who know the area super well. They gave us good swimming spots and towns to stop by and hiking trails to go on. You might see wild turkeys roaming around and it’s by some farms so you can drive a minute if you want to stop by and see cows and horses. Overall it’s a great place to set up a tent or hold a party with friends.

Thomas and Deborah are the sweetest hosts ever! They are super attentive and generous and made our group feel so welcome. They are proud of their land and eager to share it with you! We had a great stay, hung out at the lake and in town, and were around an hour drive from Yosemite. Thank you for everything!!

I was warmly greeted by all and was pleased to find the location to be the perfect spot for myself and 3 other fellow backpackers. Tom and Deborah are super helpful and friendly — they are quick to share their knowledge of the area along with tips and insights. For anyone unfamiliar with the county they would be pleased stay here. The camp is very close to Groveland making it simple to find dining, drink and supplies. Tidy and well put together... I highly recommend!

I loved camping on this site even if our trip was cut short! Deborah and Aaron were super nice and gave us some great spots to cool off from the heat. Our dogs loved the area as well with the long leashes they were able to roam around a little more than what they are use to! Highly recommend this area!
