CLOSE TO YOSEMITE! Explore the mines and hang out on our Groveland, California ranch! We are 35 minutes to the main gate of Yosemite National Park. A great place to stay just outside of the park. We have 824 acres on a beautiful cattle ranch with two small ponds. On our property, you'll find frogs, turtles, oak trees, pine trees and stunning views of Yosemite. We have several campsites to choose from including RV camping, tent camping, and a glamping tent. Pets are welcome. Campfires are permitted as long as there is no fire ban. Potable water and toilet are available onsite. There's a golf course less than a mile away. We are also very close to town. In just a few minutes, you can drive to our local grocery store and pizza parlour. We are a 10-minute drive to Pine Mountain Lake. Beautiful Pine Mountain Lake offers golfing, dining, horseback riding, water sports and an airport. When you come to the ranch it feels like you are hundreds of miles away from civilization, but still close to everything you need. It is incredibly peaceful! This is a great place for someone who wants to escape city life and enjoy the tranquillity of nature. Much of the ranch is open wilderness for you to explore, and it's not uncommon to see deer, frogs, turtles, quail, turkeys, or other countless species of birds. Diamond Gulch Camp is the perfect place to relax if you’re a photographer, artist, family or a group of friends looking for a place to camp near Yosemite. A small portion of the property was used as a gold mine years ago, and you may find remnants of old home sites if you go exploring. We're not far from Wards Ferry Road, Groveland, Lake Don Pedro and other interesting places.

I booked a tent site. Surrounding area was quiet, not too many people at the other sites.

Site 1 - Walt’s Mining Camp 1893
Host was awesome, signage was visible and easy to find. The spots were exactly what we needed and the shower was an extra bonus. While an outdoor shower it was warm and had plenty of water. Also liked the late check out of noon. Only tip is I wasn't sure where my site was but quickly learned it was a first come situation. Had plenty of spots to choose from.

Would Recommend!
Great location! John is really helpful and the land is a really great spot. Love that it has showers and pretty clean porta potties that have a sink with soap. There was plenty of fire wood at the site. Only about an hour drive from Yosemite and 20 minutes from the Rainbow Pools swimming hole.

The place was super nice and very well organised. We especially liked the showers and the possibility to hike and walk in the nature.
