Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Camp right on shore of the Middle Fork Tuolumne River at a registered gold claim and try your luck at panning for California Gold. Whether you are looking to do some recreational panning or you just need a place to camp during your visit to Yosemite you would be hard to find a more beautiful spot. I have several gold claims in the Yosemite valley area within minutes of the west entrance to the park. Owning these claims allows myself or anyone with my permission to camp and mine the claim for up to 14days consecutively. I live in San Diego so my scheduled visits leave a ton of time available others could be using it so I have listed it here for anyone wanting an inexpensive place to stop when passing through or to go and pan the banks of the river to find your own California gold. You are welcome to bring a pan or a sluice box and keep any gold you recover on any of my claims. Dredging is currently restricted in California without a permit so please keep within the laws.This site is located on the bank of the Middle Fork Tuolumne River within minutes of the west entrance to Yosemite National Park. You can look out the window of your RV or tent and see the river running by.

Beautiful little private spot near Yosemite, perfect for a quick getaway. directions were clear and we had no issue finding. We would also recommend checking out rainbow falls nearby!

Middle Fork Tuolumne River Camp
Camp with Cows!
The GPS coordinates were spot on and we were able to find the site even in the dark. Our camp was quiet and private, on a river, and it was so much fun waking up to half a dozen ranging cattle only 20 feet from our rig!!!
