Great getaway in the hot summer

First, Tim was an excellent host. He led us through the off road entrance and gave us a comprehensive tour. The offroad experience was one of the highlights. It was almost 100degrees but we had a blast swimming in the crystal clear, cold, but refreshing creek. The place was quiet and clean, and we enjoyed ourselves a lot. We definitely recommend this place to everyone, and we will soon return.

Had a great stay wish we stayed longer! Absolutely loved the creek and enjoyed basking in the sun and clean, fresh, and cool waters! We enjoyed the seclusion and quiet time. We appreciated the hosts guidance and information provided for us at check-in. Thankful for the composting outhouse that was available and for a clean campsite!

Secluded Paradise at North Fork

We had an unforgettable experience at the South Camp site in North Fork. A solid 4x4 vehicle is essential for the journey, and our 4WD Honda Pilot with cross-trail tires performed flawlessly on the rugged terrain. The campsite itself was stunning, with a perfect blend of nature and well-maintained amenities. Everything was clean and tidy, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Tim, our guide, was fantastic. He walked us through all the amenities, providing helpful insights and making sure we had everything we needed. His introduction to the land was thorough, yet he respected our desire for a private camping retreat. We had everything we needed and didn't see the property owners at all during our stay, which was perfect for us. There's a mutual respect here, and they truly honor guest privacy. The privacy at this location is unparalleled. We truly felt like we had our own secluded slice of nature. The owners go above and beyond to ensure guests are comfortable and have a memorable stay. One of the highlights was Willow Creek, an absolutely gorgeous spot that added to the charm of the entire experience. We will definitely be back to enjoy more of what this wonderful place has to offer.

Love this spot - close to Yosemite

Thank you so much to Valentina and Tim. This was my second year visiting Yosemite National Park so this site in North Fork is the perfect option. This camp provides what we need to be close to the park but also camping with privacy. Last year I camped at the South site Willow Creek and this year was at the North site. Both spots are on the river, private and beautiful! There is a picnic table, outhouse, and stumps to sit on by the campfire area. It's a 45 minute drive to the lower Yosemite park gate + the additional drive to the heart of the park once inside. We enjoyed camping here so much, being able to float in the river, hike, and star gaze at this site. My SUV was capable to navigate the path roads down to the site very easily. We felt safe but also in the wilderness. Thankful for this spot, the hospitality and we will be back again! It's absolutely beautiful.

We had the most amazing time camping here. It is truly spectacular. Our granddaughter says “Best ever place to camp, the water is clean and cool”. Our dog gives it four paws up! We will definitely be returning soon. FYI this is not glamping . There is a nice compost toilet, picnic table and lots and lots of space but everything else is up to you (bug spray!).
