Welcome to Yosemite Colfax Spring! Home to a basecamp for river rafting trips during the summertime, we are located 15 minutes driving distance to the entrance to Yosemite National Park. If you are staying with us between May - September and want to come rafting, ask us about our river trips! Our camp sits on a ridge with views down into the Tuolumne River Canyon. The Tuolumne River begins at 13,000 feet of elevation in the High Country of Tuolumne Meadows and provides drinking water for over 2.7 million people in San Francisco. With cedar and pine trees, manzanita bushes, and wildflowers in the spring, enjoy the Sierras' flora and fauna. Our family has been operating our river rafting company for over 50 years, the last 11 of those years being here at Colfax Spring. Conveniently located off Highway 120, we are in close proximity to swimming holes, hikes, and more. Enjoy the privacy of our campsite and getting world-class views to yourself, with all of the amenities (flushing toilets, wi-fi, showers.) Make sure to check the Yosemite National Park website for information about reservations to visit the park!

(1) Clavey Camper Site
It was a Great spot ~ conveniently located to Yosemite, beautiful scenic canyon & waterfall views, private & quiet even though right off of Rte. 120, clean updated bathroom & shower facilities (even had towels) & lovely, communicative hosts ! I’m sorry that I only stayed there for one night.

Beautiful camp site with views. Walk across the road to see a year round waterfall. We had great weather and had a nice visit to Yosemite Valley for the day. The shower and restroom is a big plus. Thank you.

(4) Main Tuolumne Camp
Super pretty area with nice views. The website and description of campsites are a bit confusing, so I ended up booking #4, which did not work out. There is a wooden platform which does not work for tents that have stakes. The hosts are very accommodating and let us move to campsite 7. The bathrooms are amazing with nice toilets and hot water showers. There is a sink for doing dishes right outside of them, as well as a filtered water station. The dumpters are not bear-proof which led to a bear going through them the first night of the stay. Behind the dumpsters, there is a lot of weird junk which you pass every time you have to get to your campsite. The campsite is right next to the main road but it isn't that loud. Overall, a good place but has some quirks.

(1) Clavey Camper Site
Everything a van camper needs
We were in Clavey #1 right by the office and bath house. Easy access to the road. Perfect spot for a couple of older van campers who like our comforts-plenty of shade, picnic tables, access to electricity to run our coolers, close to showers and toilets. Speaking of bathroom facilities, wow? Spacious clean modern showers, (towels and soap provided) same for the toilet / sink area. Almost like home.
