Lupine Walk-in camp

Fun campsite, very secluded which was awesome. Felt very private and safe. Bathrooms were nice and clean. Showers were decent I just wish it had better water pressure/ output. Overall great experience.

Pine Siskin camp

Camping on Rob's land was great! We arrived late on a Friday night and it was easy to find in the dark. The site was big, and had plenty of spaces to set up a tent. It was convenient to have water, bathrooms, and showers close by for the morning. Communication with Rob was easy too. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Mountain Quail Camp

It was a nice place to stay. I did think it was a bit overpriced for what it actually was though! It’s still quite a long drive into Yosemite. Over an hour to get into the valley. The host was helpful letting me move to an empty site closer to the bathrooms.

Headwaters RV #2

Well appointed campsite off the beaten path. Clean and very quiet. The only thing is that it is quite isolated and we didn’t see the host during our stay. The property also seems to be “going back to nature” a bit. The area is very dry.

Excellent Camping in the Foothills

Robb's place was terrific. Beautiful area, peaceful and serene. The site was great - large and level with morning shade. Bathrooms and showers were very clean and tidy. Local wildlife included turkeys, deer, and rabbits. I used the site as basecamp for exploring Yosemite NP. I met Robb - he is a great host and a great person as well.

Great Gray Owl Camp

Rob was very helpful and had great tips for hiking in Yosemite! The campsite itself was beautiful and very well maintained. There was wifi, fresh drinking water and outdoor showers! I highly recommend this campsite! The town of Groveland is also very cute. My friends and I stayed here to hike Yosemite since all the campsites in the park were booked. I would definitely recommend this stay!
