Weekend Trip to Camp SourBerry (near Yosemite)

This was a perfect place to stay after a day in Yosemite! The directions were straightforward, easy, and the camp spot was beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Musick Creek Falls

Had the most amazing time here! Nice and private but not too far from town. So many great spots to dip in the water with a gorgeous view. Shandi was an amazing helpful host! We forgot a few essentials and Shandi had just what we needed. Can’t wait to come back here again

2 nights at Hidden Falls Yosemite Camp

The views from the cabin were really nice. I loved how quiet it was. Wendy, Hudson, and their son were exceptionally helpful! Great people!

3 nights at Hidden Falls Yosemite Camp

We loved our stay at Hudson’s + Wendy’s campsite and would recommend it to any of our friends. Getting there: This is a private campsite nestled in between properties. You will need to take a private road with a few switchbacks to get to the site while passing by a few houses. You will pass by Rena’s house(there may be boxes/trash on the side) and she is an incredible person to get to know during your stay if you enjoy talking to people. She gave us local recommendations and after our car battery died, offered to help us if we needed it. Although this may not impact everyone - the house right before the last switchback you must pass to get to the site has a Trump flag, which made us feel uneasy but we never ran into them directly. During the stay: The setup includes a working hose with water, 1 extension cord with electricity and access to a shed with a toilet + biodegradable bags. They also offer a bathroom + shower if you take the small walk up to their property located in a private area. All of those things made our stay comfortable and Rena(the neighbor) really made us feel safe at night after getting to know her. There’s also a beautiful waterfall + creek running right behind the camp site that too. Preparing for the trip: We used our 2023 Nissan Pathfinder for this one and if I had a longer car, I would’ve been hesitant to drive it down myself because the turns are sharp. If you have a car low to the ground it’s doable but it may scuff the bottom cover.

3 nights at San Pedro Ranch

What an amazing place. I don't think I have been that relaxed in years. The dogs had a great time and didn't want to leave. We will definitely be back

3 nights at Musick Creek Falls

Awesome place incredible hosts. Jesse and Shandie are the bomb. They make you feel like family and are so darn accommodating. There property is unreal it’s like place out of a story book. Waterfalls, hiking, exploring. Etc. They have camping equipment if need be just ask. Firewood is on site. Shaver lake is right up the road. they will even accommodate you with kayaks to explore the lake. Definitely going again 5 out of 5 stars in my book

2 nights at Musick Creek Falls

We just got back from a stay at Musick Creek Falls, and it was absolutely stunning. The beauty of the site is jaw-dropping — the kind of place that feels like a hidden gem tucked away in the mountains. I camped with my 3-year-old, 1-year-old, and two dogs, and it was the perfect blend of adventure and tranquility for our little family. The kids loved playing in the creek, even though the water was a bit chilly. There are a few deeper spots where it’s easy for little ones to slip in, so supervision was important, but once we set some simple boundaries, they had the time of their lives splashing and exploring. The campsite feels wonderfully private. I did see a previous review mention the site above being visible, and while you can be aware of it, the lush foliage creates a secluded, peaceful vibe that still feels totally your own. Backing the car down to the site was fairly easy — just a heads up that the terrain is a bit rough, so low-clearance vehicles might have a harder time, but it’s definitely doable. We really appreciated the thoughtful touches like firewood and a sugar pine cone for the fire. Shandi was amazing — responsive, helpful, and full of great tips for exploring Shaver Lake. This place is magical. We’re already dreaming about when we can come back.

1 night at Willow Springs Resort

My first trip down the Eastern Sierra Nevadas was made even better by my 1 night stay at Willow Springs to camp in my Hillbilly Truck Camper. They had everything to make the stay restful and enjoyable. I’ll certainly return for another stay when in the area!! Oh.. and when in the area you must go visit Bodie State Historic Park.. a maintained unbelievably special old west town!! Thank you kindly. Razz The Roaming Hillbilly

4 nights at Camping At Yosemite's Doorstep

We enjoyed the seclusion of site 2 at Jim's Hipcamp. There is a solar shower & porta potty on the site. It is close to the road so you will hear the traffic as it begins to head toward Yosemite around 5am, but it's already light by then so we were awake. The only shade on this site is under the sheltered picnic table, so on hot afternoons, it gets pretty toasty. Site 1 has great shade & an on-demand hot shower. A black bear did visit the camp one morning during our stay. No problems & we got great pictures.

2 nights at Musick Creek Falls

Incredible spot! Surrounded by 10/10 swimming holes with gorgeous waterfalls and so much to explore. The sites are very well considered and quiet. No complaints. Shandy and Jesse are excellent host. Very welcoming and have lots of knowledge about the area. We forgot all our kitchen supplies and they provided us with everything we needed. Saved us! 100% going back ASAP.

2 nights at Bridgeport Reservoir Campground

Stayed in #14. Backed up to the reservoir for a lovely view. Amenities were what expected- picnic table - wash basin for dish cleanup- hot shower for $3 fee well worth it. Campsite clean. Arrived after closing- check in no problem next day.

1 night at Outdoorsy Yosemite: Your Premier Ba

Convenient to Yosemite. Decent tent sites with water and electricity

1 night at Musick Creek Falls

Super nice camp ground! Great experience for me and my kids.

Weekend Trip to Bridgeport Reservoir Campground

The location was beautiful and the convenience of the bathrooms and showers was great.

Weekend Trip to Musick Creek Falls

This campground was incredible. Wonderful location (near town), but also remote and embedded in nature. Shandie and Jesse were perfect hosts - really attentive and very generous. We're coming back next year!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Falls Yosemite Camp

Wonderful weekend "glamping" spot near lots of hiking & food! Perfect for two. Cozy cabin! The sound & view of the hidden falls was so peaceful. Bed was on the firmer side and bathroom situation was a bit odd but we worked through it. Would have loved to have a fire but CA is dry in June, so thinking another trip in fall/winter may be in order!

Weekend Trip to Musick Creek Falls

Great creekside camp, but watch your step. Camp site extras, screened in picnic table, lounge chairs etc.

Weekend Trip to Musick Creek Falls

We had the best time camping here with our two kids and our pup. It was so private and had plenty of space for the kids and our dog to run around and play in the water. The land and the views were absolutely spectacular! Shadie was so helpful and went out of her way when we needed help in the evening and also getting kayaks to and from the lake. We felt very taken care of. We definitely look forward to coming back!

2 nights at Gumboot Placer Gold Claim

Great spot, we made it in our 2014 Chevy express van RWD. We stayed two nights with two adults and two 5 year olds. First night we arrived after sundown so we just called it a night. Second day was magical and our kids loved waking up to the river. However just beware that there might be people off roading in these areas because we were rudely awaken at 2am because these kids wanted to ride thru the river onto our site. Not to mention they were blasting music and were screaming. When I went outside to give them a piece of my mind, I was approached by a fully nude I wanna say early 20 year old boy. I was honestly so shocked and spooked about the whole situation it felt like a nightmare lol. Those kids knew better to turn around and leave but I could only imagine what would happen if they were successful in getting across the river to our site. Major tip: if you plan on staying here, I recommend it but I would block off the river trail entrance with some logs or some rocks so that no one can cross into your site. A log our kids threw saved us some hassle and some intruders eeeeek

2 nights at Glitter Cove Retreat

What a special place this is! I had a lovely, peaceful stay with my dogs. It was private, quiet and Cindy did a wonderful job at communication and directions. She made sure we were set with all we needed right when we arrived. I enjoyed spending time down at the shady dragonfly beach since it was a hotter day. It was such a treat to hear the flowing water right from camp. My dogs loved the freedom of playing and exploring around the area.

Bridgeport Reservoir Campground

36 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents11 acres · CA

Bridgeport Reservoir is a lake at the lower end of Bridgeport Valley in Mono County, California. Its earth-filled dam was constructed in 1923 by the Walker River Irrigation District, along the East Walker River. The campground and marina was built I-don't-know-how-long ago, but it sure is nice! About Us: Welcome to Bridgeport Reservoir Marina and Campground. Join us for the classic camping and fishing experience with unique views of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Within the Toiyabe National Forest, Bridgeport Reservoir Marina and Campground is conveniently located near two distinct hot spring areas. A true angler's paradise, the Reservoir has excellent trout fishing from spring through fall and is close by to multiple rivers for incredible fly fishing. A 35 minute drive on highway 120 will take you to the Tioga Pass Gate of Yosemite National Park. This gate is a great start to several different areas inside of the park that you may want to visit beyond that gate. Off-road enthusiasts would not have enough time in one visit to explore all of the 4x4 trails, abandoned mines, and sites in the area as well as the famous trail that brings you right to the Bodie Ghost Town. Climate and Ecosystem: At 6,400 feet (1,950 meters), this high desert climate has little to moderate tree coverage and gets hot during the days and cool at night. The conditions are much like Joshua Tree National Park or Alabama Hills camping area. During your visit, you will notice many flying insects that resemble mosquitos. These Chironomid are harmless and do not bite. On the contrary, the mosquito presence is very minimal. Swimming in the lake is possible usually between April to July.

Paradise Shores Camp

46 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents2 acres · Bridgeport, CA

We're a family owned RV Park & Campground located on the shores of Bridgeport Reservoir. Together with our crew, we're excited to welcome you into our newly adopted home. We believe in campfires, starry nights, good laughs, exploration, a deep sleep and an early rise. The mountains are a place to get back to basics, a place to explore, to breathe. So turn off your phone and turn on your senses. It’s important to us that our guests don’t feel they are renting a tent/RV site or a camper as much as they’re immersing themselves into the outdoor experience. You may just want to sit outside and read for days, enjoy campfires and eat s'mores. For more adventurous, there's a full slate of self-guided recreational activities, such as hiking, kayaking, fishing, ATVing, rock climbing, biking, natural water slides, stand up paddle boards, bird watching, available in the area. We do have modern conveniences such as wifi internet; however, we encourage our guests to “unplug” and immerse in the slow paced life instead. At Paradise Shores, we believe in protecting people, animals and the planet. We make sure that the majority of products we use at our camp is recycled, composted, or re-used. We prefer to use products that are produced in a sustainable way and avoid those that aren't. We are continuously reducing the amount of waste we generate and actively promote recycling of aluminum, plastic, glass, and cardboard. We pack our own recycling and haul it to the nearest recycling facility which is an hour away. We co-opt the drive with other activities to reduce waste. We don’t use individually packaged toiletries or one-use products. We use plant and planet friendly detergent. We're based in a desert. We share our precious water with the entire planet. With only 326 million cubic miles of water on the earth, the decreasing amounts of access to quality fresh water is alarming to us. We monitor how we use water in our day-to-day activities and are constantly working on ways to reduce our consumption of fresh-water resources. We hope you can help us maintain this greener camping! We hope Paradise Shores Camp becomes your home as it is ours. It’s located in one of the most spectacular areas in the world. We’re surrounded on three sides by the high Sierra Nevada Mountains. Yosemite National Park, Tuolumne Meadows, Mono Lake, June Lake, Virginia Lakes, and Twin Lakes, as well as the historic gold-mining town of Bodie, CA are all within a short drive from our place. We're proud to know this area intimately and are excited to share the secret spots with you. The excellent hiking/running trails including the Pacific Crest Trail, thousands of miles of ATV, dirt bike and mountain bike trails are accessible right from our camp or within a short drive from here. The surrounding terrain offers endless activities and unbelievable scenery in remote wilderness settings. Pet Policy All our RV & Tent sites are pet friendly and we allow up to two dogs per reservation for a small fee. We can also accommodate up to two four-legged campers in our pet-friendly Baja or Tatra trailers for a small fee, we ask that they stay off the furniture (beds, sofas etc.) and are not left in the rental unattended. We love dogs, but sadly won’t be able to accommodate heavily shedding pets that aren’t house trained. Additionally, our insurance will not allow "aggressive breeds" that include any mix of: Pit Bull, Rottweiler, Doberman, German Sheppard. Please pick up after your pup and use a leash when at the camp. Thank you in advance for your consideration and help in keeping our camp a mellow and enjoyable place for everyone.

Hipcamp right on shore of the Middle Fork Tuolumne River at a registered gold claim and try your luck at panning for California gold. Whether you are looking to do some recreational panning or you just need a place to camp during your visit to Yosemite you would be hard to find a more beautiful spot.This Hipcamp is only for folks in self-contained rigs with their own camp toilets. Please do not book this spot if you are not traveling with a camp toilet. Leave it better and always pack out all trash, human waste, etc. I have several gold claims in the Yosemite valley area within minutes of the west entrance to the park. Owning these claims allows myself or anyone with my permission to camp and mine the claim for up to 14 days consecutively. I live in San Diego so my scheduled visits leave a ton of time available others could be using it so I have listed it here for anyone wanting an inexpensive place to stop when passing through or to go and pan the banks of the river to find your own California gold. You are welcome to bring a pan or a sluice box and keep any gold you recover on any of my claims. Dredging is currently restricted in California without a permit so please keep within the laws.

Camping in Devils Postpile National Monument guide

Overview

About

About an hour's drive south of Yosemite National Park in California's Inyo National Forest, Devils Postpile is a protected area that preserves the columnar basalt formation from which it gets its name, as well as the 101-foot Rainbow Falls, which tumble into the San Joaquin River. The park is popular among backpackers, as it’s just off the John Muir Trail, offering easy access to the Ansel Adams Wilderness. Although Devils Postpile Campground has been closed indefinitely since 2016, the surrounding valley offers plenty of other tent camping options, notably Upper Soda Springs, Pumice Flat, Minaret Falls, and Reds Meadow, all of which are bookable through the National Park Service (NPS).

When to go

The only way to get to the monument is via Reds Meadow Road, which closes annually due to snowfall, usually in late October. The road reopens again in spring when conditions improve, and while it's occasionally accessible by the end of May, it generally doesn't open until mid- to late-June. Because of the monument’s short season and limited camping, it tends to stay pretty busy all summer long. Consider visiting after Labor Day for fewer crowds.

Know before you go

Cars are not allowed at Devils Postpile or the Reds Meadow Valley, with a few exceptions. These include people with ADA placards or plates, those arriving after 7pm or before 7am, those staying at Reds Meadow Resort, and campers. All other visitors must take a mandatory shuttle bus from Mammoth Mountain Adventure Center.
Pets are allowed in the day-use area, on trails, and in the campground, as well as on the shuttle bus, provided they wear muzzles (available for purchase in Mammoth Lakes).

Take advantage of Rainbow Fall’s by planning your hike in the late afternoon--you won’t be disappointed in the visual wonders that stem from the falls and anointed them with their name.

Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are popular in the winter, but make sure to plan out your trip a while ahead and beware of avalanches, it can get real dangerous out there.
