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.

Diamond Gulch Camp
A Hipcamp Gem!
Diamond Gulch was a terrific place to have for our base camp due to its proximity to Groveland ‘s amenities and ease of travel to Yosemite, you really can’t go wrong. The sites were decently level and accommodated tent, car camping or RVs without any issues I could see. Or you had the glamping option which seemed pretty comfy too. The host John was friendly, hospitable and very knowledgable about the area. Being that we were touring on motorcycles and packing light, it was a huge plus to have firewood provided at the site as well as potable water. And showers too! Diamond gulch had plenty of shade from all the trees and it was really nice because it would’ve been overly warm and uncomfortable without it. Aside from the occasional mooing of the local grazing cows, the site was really peaceful. Will definitely be staying here again for our next adventure to Yosemite. Thanks again John!

Great place to camp near yosemite
Great place to camp with beautiful views, free firewood, hot water showers, etc. this place has lot dust in summer and can benefit from an upgrade to flush toilet compare to other hipcamps I have seen.
