Glitter Cove Retreat

1 site · Lodging55 acres · Coarsegold, CA

This beautiful property is situated on 55 secluded acres in the lovely foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Swimming, fishing, and hiking await you. Experience the abundant wild life, the soothing sound of the river and just unplug for a few days. Only 1 1/2 hours from Yosemite National Park. Most of the time it is very quiet. There is another camp down stream owned by a wonderful family. They are here a couple times per week. You may hear them having fun and engaging in target practice. The river is a shared space but it is rare to see anyone else. Noise travels in the canyon so you may hear occasional barking or other vehicles. Hearing cayotes sing at night is very common. There is abundant wildlife including rattle snakes, bob cats, cayotes, fox, mountain lions and bears. Although it is rare to see them, always be aware of your surroundings and watch where you are stepping. Please don't leave food outside overnight or if you plan to leave for the day. Hope to see you soon! https://youtu.be/QI_YsFr-kh8
