About River Bluff Retreat

Escape to the tranquil beauty of the Sierra Nevada foothills at our secluded, riverfront, nature-rich property. Tucked away just three miles down a private, maintained dirt road and secured by a locked gate, this spacious retreat ensures peace, privacy, and the perfect blend of wilderness and comfort. The river is less than 50 feet from the camp, so you can enjoy the soothing sounds of flowing water right from your site. Unwind as you explore scenic hiking trails, where you may spot deer, wild turkeys, and even a eagle or two. Take a refreshing dip or simply relax by the serene river that winds through the property—ideal for hot summer days or quiet evenings by the water. Stay in a cozy cabin with rustic charm, or a comfy RV with all the essentials perfect for larger gatherings or extended stays. The site is equipped with electricity and running water, so you can enjoy modern conveniences while staying immersed in nature. An outdoor kitchen, complete with cookware and utensils, allows you to prepare meals under the stars, a BBQ and fire pit make for memorable evenings with friends and family. With sweeping mountain views and breathtaking stargazing at night, this retreat is designed to rejuvenate the soul. Immersed in nature, you may even catch a glimpse or hear the sounds of local wildlife, like foxes, coyotes calling in the distance, or the occasional shy bobcat or bear passing by. Rest assured, these animals tend to keep to themselves, adding to the magic of the experience without disturbing your peace or safety. Just 50 minutes from the entrance to Yosemite, it’s a prime location for day trips to the park or simply relaxing in your own private slice of paradise. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a romantic escape, or a gathering with friends, we look forward to welcoming you to this hidden gem in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Great campsite, loved being right on the Fresno River, secluded while not being too far from a couple small towns. The camp has a lot to offer, bunk bed cabin, RV trailer, bathroom shower, kitchen area with grill. It was Glamping really instead of camping. Looking forward to coming back with my kids. My friends and I had a great time there, highly recommend if you want a camp site on a river without the crowds that usually come along with river campgrounds. The host has great too.

I recently spent a night at this property with my friends, and it was absolutely amazing. The nature views were stunning, with a great river view and fresh air that made our stay so refreshing. The sleeping arrangements were perfect, and the kitchen had more than enough utensils. And the camp lighting at night with string lights and a fire pit was perfect to sit around and stargaze. It was a peaceful and secluded spot, animal-friendly, and with no other noise, making it the perfect weekend getaway.

From the beginning the host was really answering all my questions about the land… this place is a gem, we celebrate my friend birthday and we got an amazing time. We found everything we need there! The river was a plus. Definitely we would love to comeback.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Magical Getaway! This campsite was everything we hoped for and more! It was peaceful, absolutely beautiful, and incredibly private—the perfect place to disconnect from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with nature. The entire experience felt enlightening and refreshing. The RV was extremely comfortable and homey, with cozy touches that made it feel like a true retreat. The kitchen was stocked with every utensil we could’ve possibly needed, which made cooking super easy and enjoyable. The views were breathtaking, especially during sunrise and sunset. One of the …

The site was great! It was well equipped to host a group of childhood friends grown into adults. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking equipment. Although one of the burners on the 2 burner stove didn’t work very well. The shower, bathroom, and bunks were all appropriate and comfortable. Unfortunately we choose one of the coldest nights to go but we were able to keep warm. To our surprise there was no running hot water. Not a big issue but worth knowing. There was a limited supply of hot water in the RV. The BBQ pit was the star of our trip! The trail and the property were bea…

Our group had a pleasure in staying at this site. The site was very well maintained and well equipped. Our group really enjoyed the site especially it's off leash friendly and super dog friendly. Our fur babies really enjoyed the swim in the river and running around the site. We will definitely be back again very soon.
