Just message me if you need an earlier check in! Free firewood! We are 30 minutes to the main gate of Yosemite National Park. A great place to stay just outside of the park. Be near the park, but feel that complete privacy. These sites are very spaced out from each other and are large. No need to cram together! Explore the mines and hang out on our Groveland, California ranch! 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.

This sites scenery was amazing, the bathroom and shower was clean, and the cows were great to wake up to. Absolutely would come back. PS, the town of Groveland where this site is situated is cute and scenic.
This campsite exceeded all expectations. The space was clean, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. You can tell a lot of care goes into the property. Wilson the dog was there to greet and hang out with us. He was super friendly. It felt secluded and relaxing, but still had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was responsive and helpful without being intrusive. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.
Beautiful place, the scenery and calmness of the entire place. We had a wonderful stay! Plan on coming back soon...
we got there pretty late (after dark) and it would have been difficult to find had we not been given the perfect directions from john + the multiple signs guiding us the right way! the only thing is that the bugs swarm by the hundreds there. we had to leave to set up the car and get ready to sleep and drive back to the actual site, which we were annoyed by, until we woke up to the most perfect sunrise and views and cows!! all of that was so worth it. there were a bunch of other campers there cooking and sitting outside at around 8pm, so i’m not sure how they were dealing with the flies and gna…
This campground was absolutely incredible! We were wanting to camp in Yosemite, but (of course) all the campsites were full, so we came here instead. It was the best decision ever! The grounds were beautiful, and the scenery was stunning. There were maybe a couple of other campers, so it was super peaceful and private. Lots and lots of cows! They were very vocal too haha! They were afraid of people, but the donkeys were very friendly. The amenities were a tad rustic, but I think that’s part of the charm. About a 30min drive to the Big Oak Flat entrance to Yosemite, and then another 30mins from…
John was so nice and helpful. We got in late, and he answered his phone and came out to meet us to make sure we got in ok. Such a relaxing and beautiful place to wake up to in the morning as well.
