Weekend Trip to Ace's Yosemite Hide Out

I couldn’t recommend staying at Billie’s land more! It is a beautiful property with a lots of privacy and feels very safe. Billie is very inviting and communicative. The shower is lovely, the bathroom is clean and the campsites are very well kept. I hope to go back someday soon!

2 nights at Ace's Yosemite Hide Out

Wow, this place was beyond magical. As a solo female camper this is just what I needed to feel safe. Billie and her mother greeted me when I arrived and I felt right at home. You have plenty of privacy and space with your own table, grill, trash can, fire pit, and sink station. Even better, the valley is gorgeous that you’re staying in. The restroom is clean and you have access to a warm outdoor shower. The drive to Yosemite is not far at all, leave early enough to avoid the traffic getting in. I got some great pictures of the horses and donkey that hangout on the farm next door. Thank you so much Billie! I will always make this a spot to return to when in the area.

I really enjoyed staying at Billie's campsite. It was private and safe. Everything was clean, and I appreciated the new grill and the sink to wash up, etc. The best part about the site is the huge tree that blocks out the shade throughout the day. It was easily accessible and the directions were clear. Billie was a great host and welcomed me on arrival. I will definitely be going back!

Weekend Trip to Ace's Yosemite Hide Out

this place is great - its exactly what it says it is the views are gorgeous - the tree is amazing nice little touches all around like a grill for you to use even the portapotty is scented nicely loved it so much i even booked it for a second night billie is an amazing host - so kind really communicative and just wants you to have a nice time now the next part of this review is for future and past campers if you bring a dog(s) pls pick up after them if you dont want to do that then bring them out to the street or better yet - dont own a dog - it shouldnt be any hosts responsibility to clean up after your mess if youre a camper you should know about the minimal impact lifestyle dont ruin it for the rest of us...

Weekend Trip to Mike And Di's Retreat

Had a wonderful stay and Mike and Di’s retreat. Close to National Parks and offers a full suite of amenities. Definitely recommend!

3 nights at Camp SourBerry (near Yosemite)

We had such a fantastic time here! The location was easy to find thanks to the directions provided, the amenities were nice when we wanted to enjoy the open air, the proximity to town was really helpful when searching for extra supplies, and the location to Yosemite made it very accessible no matter how busy your day is!! Definitely will camp here again!

1 night at Ace's Yosemite Hide Out

We made a late evening reservation for the same day during our travel. Billie was amazing to see that we got the instruction right and was waiting at the gate to escort us to the camp . A real care giver by heart ❤️. We woke up to an amazing camp ground in the ranch. Outdoor shower is available with hot water. Wish we had more time to stay in this beautiful place Thank you

1 night at Ace's Yosemite Hide Out

Billie was a great host. My sister and I are young and traveling, and we felt safe at this camp. The bathroom, “sink”, table, and trash can was very helpful. The camp is in the outskirts of a town. It felt secluded enough but it wasn’t the same experience as camping on BLM land.

Weekend Trip to Sierra Foothills Ranch -722 acres

"We recently visited a beautiful campground, and I’d love to share our experience! If you’d like to see more, be sure to check out our YouTube channel, AMERSIAN CAMPERS, where we captured the full adventure in stunning detail. The campground was huge, nestled in a peaceful valley covered in lush grass, right before reaching Sequoia National Park. A wild, shallow river flowed nearby, adding to the serenity of the place. It felt incredibly private and quiet, making it a perfect escape into nature. Beyond the stunning location, the campground offered plenty of great amenities, including a well-equipped kitchen, clean bathrooms, and access to firewood for cozy campfires. It truly provided both comfort and a deep connection with the outdoors. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a private and relaxing getaway!"

Peaceful with a beautiful view. We couldn’t stay for long which was a shame because it seemed a great place

Weekend Trip to Sierra Foothills Ranch -722 acres

I had an excellant experience at River Ridge Ranch. Quiet and cozy. Cabins are clean and well kept. outdoor showers with hot and cold water, large outhouse style toilets, plenty of lighting. Large pavillion and fire pit for group campers. Fully stocked kitchen area, pots, pans, dishes, utinsels, propane BBQs microwave, toaster oven, fridge and a large dishwashing area behind the kitchen. Plenty of places to hike and take in mother nature. Gary has done a excellant job in making sure you have everything you need for your stay, just bring your bedding, clothes, food and personal hygiene items.

I had a great stay at River Ridge Ranch. It’s a nice quiet cozy place to get away for the weekend or a week. cabins are clean and well kept. Gary has done an excellent job in making sure that everything you need is provided for you so all you have to do is show up with your bedding, food and personal hygiene items. There’s plenty of places on the property to hike and enjoy mother nature. Highly recommend River Ridge Ranch to anyone that just wants to get away, but not travel too far. There’s a large pavilion area for groups. There’s a large fire pit for groups to sit around and the kitchen area is well stocked with everything you would need for cooking, pots, pans, dishes, utensils, propane grills, microwave, toaster oven, and a large refrigerator to store all your food items. There’s even a large sink area behind the kitchen for washing your dishes. Large outhouse style toilets and outdoor showers with hot and cold water.

We loved it here! My partner, dog and I slept in the two story, which was lovely! The whole property is awesome. The kitchen area is the best I’ve ever utilized at a Hipcamp. We were just stopping by for a night on a road trip out to southern Utah from the Bay Area, but immediately started planning a big friends trip back down! It’s wonderful and we look forward to sharing it with people we love! The fall is exceptionally beautiful with the yellow leaves everywhere. Could not have asked for a better spot. And the lil heater cranks! We hung out up top before eventually opting on the bottom floor with the pup :)

Absolutely lovely experience staying on Gary’s land. The cabin had everything we needed - the heater was definitely a plus for the cold nights. We had the property to ourselves a lot of the day, and explored the river and different paths. The communal kitchen has everything you could possibly need, with a cleanup station behind it. I can’t wait to come back with my pup In the summer!

Weekend Trip to Sierra Foothills Ranch -722 acres

The experience on Gary’s land was truly one for the books! Kids loved the scenery as well as the atmosphere. The kitchen/bar area were great, and the communal fire pit too! Outside side showers had an amazing view, and the water was hot! The site was easy to find and, it’s right next to the sandy beach by the river. The kids went swimming and they loved it!

lovely spot! set in a beautiful valley and pretty quiet—can occasionally hear a car go by on the main road but distant and pretty quiet. soft place to pitch your tent and the shower was great. absolutely would come back, thanks to the host for such a great spot!!
