Welcome to Yosemite Colfax Spring! Home to a basecamp for river rafting trips during the summertime, we are located 15 minutes driving distance to the entrance to Yosemite National Park. If you are staying with us between May - September and want to come rafting, ask us about our river trips! Our camp sits on a ridge with views down into the Tuolumne River Canyon. The Tuolumne River begins at 13,000 feet of elevation in the High Country of Tuolumne Meadows and provides drinking water for over 2.7 million people in San Francisco. With cedar and pine trees, manzanita bushes, and wildflowers in the spring, enjoy the Sierras' flora and fauna. Our family has been operating our river rafting company for over 50 years, the last 11 of those years being here at Colfax Spring. Conveniently located off Highway 120, we are in close proximity to swimming holes, hikes, and more. Enjoy the privacy of our campsite and getting world-class views to yourself, with all of the amenities (flushing toilets, wi-fi, showers.) Make sure to check the Yosemite National Park website for information about reservations to visit the park!

(8) Upper Tuolumne Camp
Great spot extremely close to Yosemite entrance. Great view of the sunset and having access to a shower with amenities after a week of traveling and camping was an unmatched luxury. Only consideration I’d say is that this site doesn’t have tree cover or shade, which wasn’t a problem for us because we spent all day at the park, but just something you may want to plan ahead for if you camp at this site! Will definitely be back

We camped here on our way through Tioga Pass to Mammoth Lakes. It's just half an hour from the turn to Yosemite valley and i can't imagine a better place as a base camp for anybody exploring Yosemite. The directions were very clear and the host was very responsive. Like everybody said the bathrooms are the highlight, not something we typically expect when booking campistes on HipCamp. Just one thing to keep in mind, tent setup is on hard ground, so stakes may not help much. We used bungee cords and rope to secure the tent on the conveniently located hooks. The views of the distant waterfall was really nice. We can see the other sites nearby, but we had more than enough privacy. The nearby electrical lines did not bother us and didn't hear any humming sound. Couldn't ask for anything more, 100% satisfied.

Quiet and peaceful with amazing view. Watching the sun rise in the morning is the highlight of our stay. The restroom and the shower is the best and cleanest among all the campsites (public and private) we visited. Highly recommended for people visiting this area.
