CLOSE TO YOSEMITE! Explore the mines and hang out on our Groveland, California ranch! We are 35 minutes to the main gate of Yosemite National Park. A great place to stay just outside of the park. We have 824 acres on a beautiful cattle ranch with two small ponds. On our property, you'll find frogs, turtles, oak trees, pine trees and stunning views of Yosemite. We have several campsites to choose from including RV camping, tent camping, and a glamping tent. Pets are welcome. Campfires are permitted as long as there is no fire ban. Potable water and toilet are available onsite. There's a golf course less than a mile away. We are also very close to town. In just a few minutes, you can drive to our local grocery store and pizza parlour. We are a 10-minute drive to Pine Mountain Lake. Beautiful Pine Mountain Lake offers golfing, dining, horseback riding, water sports and an airport. When you come to the ranch it feels like you are hundreds of miles away from civilization, but still close to everything you need. It is incredibly peaceful! This is a great place for someone who wants to escape city life and enjoy the tranquillity of nature. Much of the ranch is open wilderness for you to explore, and it's not uncommon to see deer, frogs, turtles, quail, turkeys, or other countless species of birds. Diamond Gulch Camp is the perfect place to relax if you’re a photographer, artist, family or a group of friends looking for a place to camp near Yosemite. A small portion of the property was used as a gold mine years ago, and you may find remnants of old home sites if you go exploring. We're not far from Wards Ferry Road, Groveland, Lake Don Pedro and other interesting places.

Amazing! John was fantastic. The cows were fun to be around and there is plenty of wildlife and ranch animals to see.

John was a great host! Amenities were well kept, location was convenient for daily excursions. And, occasional visits from neighboring cows kept us pretty entertained. We will be back!

This is my 2nd time visiting John’s site and I love it. The location, views, amenities and hospitality all make it worth it. This Groveland gem is worth the outstanding review!

Excellent!
Excellent camp site! Beautiful grassy fields interlaiden with wildflowers. It is highly likely you will be able to see turkeys, cows, and various varieties of birds. There is a nice little pond and area to hike around. The showers provide surprising hot water despite the cold. And if you have the opportunity to meet the owner, he is very kind and welcoming. There is a picnic table and for pit at each site. We had an absolutely wonderful time with our toddler, and it definitely felt safer than the other locations we could have camped at.

Solitude and wildlife
As a solo female camper, I felt safe on John’s campsite. I only stayed one night, but I will say a hot shower was a very welcome surprise! I took a stroll around the property and saw all sorts of wildlife and bird species, not to mention all the baby calves romping around! So fun!

Site 2 - Walt’s Mining Camp 1893
Lovely camp site with fire pits, wood provide, toilets. I didn’t use the shower so can’t comment on that. Next to a meadow with cows. The drive there is easy except for the last little bit being bumpy and steep. No issues for an SUV pulling a small trailer. Host was friendly and helpful. I have no reservations booking this site again.
