Heart Valley ranch hosts 300+ acres of rolling pasture nestled along the beautiful Jackass Creek. Access to Yosemite via 120 takes 1 hour , Groveland 10 minutes, and Coulterville 5 minutes. You’ll find cows, goats, chickens, llamas and our two beloved livestock dogs on the property. Many pools to cool off in and sweeping sunset views from the highest point on the property. There is lots of nature to enjoy including bird watching, seasonal wildflowers, and other wild animals. We welcome all ❤️🌈 We highly recommend not bringing any animals, including service animals. We have two livestock guardian dogs that free roam the property and they are not friendly with other animals.

Beautiful piece of land with a refreshing swimming hole and river nearby! We went for 1 night and loved it some much we came back the next week for 4 days. We tent camped at the Willow site with 3 kids in April, there was plenty of shade which would really be appreciated in summer. It's a short walk to the compostable toilet and swimming hole. They've installed some solar lamps which help illuminate the toilet and campsite nicely to locate them at night. There is also an authentic Kazakhstan Yurt you stay at. Lots of great animals roaming the land (llamas, goats, cows and chickens) You can buy treats to feed the llamas. The hosts were amazing! Everyone had a great time!

Absolutely amazing land. Julie is the nicest woman on the planet. The views are beautiful, no disturbances and the bathroom was nice. Felt cozy and the animals were so cute. 10/10 would definitely recommend and stay here again.

This was our first time camping at heart valley ranch and we definitely recommend it! If your looking for a quiet peaceful place this is definitely the place our kids loved the animals they where super friendly the only downfall was the swimming hole was dry but they did mention that due to no flowing water overall it was a great experience!

We stayed with our 3 kids in our campervan at the ranch. We had a huge space in the middle of nature, surrounded only by cows, goats and lamas. The landlord showed the kids around, explained them everything, let them feed the animals and try the fresh fruits from the garden. We enjoyed it a lot! Only drawback was that the water hole did not have sufficient water due to the drought.
