This beautiful property is situated on 55 secluded acres in the lovely foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Swimming, fishing, and hiking await you. 1 1/2 hours from Yosemite National Park. Reservations may be required. Experience the abundant wild life, the soothing sound of the Fresno River, put your feet in the sand and just unplug for a few days. Each season is uniquely beautiful. Spring hosts an abundance of green hills, wild flowers and cooler weather. The river is higher, faster and colder. New life pops up everywhere. Baby ducks, geese, quail and beaver frequent the river. Glitter Cove waterfall is in its full glory. Summer is the perfect time to swim and lounge in the river. As the days heat up, the river begins to slow and warms up to a comfortable yet refreshing temperature. New beaches emerge, just waiting to be explored. In late summer, early fall, there is a feeling of calm. The river slows significantly but still feels amazing to sit in. You can hear its gentle flow and soothing sound as it trickles over the rocks. This is a great time time to explore the river as it is mostly shallow. The nights can be cool, so come prepared. Most of the time it is very quiet. There is another camp down stream owned by a wonderful family. They are here a couple times per week, and also rent their camp. You may hear them having fun and engaging in target practice. The river is a shared space but it is rare to see anyone else. Noise travels in the canyon so you may hear occasional barking or other vehicles. Hearing coyotes sing at night is very common. There is abundant wildlife including rattle snakes, bob cats, cayotes, fox, mountain lions and bears. Although it is rare to see them, always be aware of your surroundings and watch where you are stepping. Please don't leave food outside overnight or if you plan to leave for the day. Hope to see you soon! Watch a video! https://youtu.be/QI_YsFr-kh8

It is beautiful and quiet. The accomodations and facilities are really lovely, with space to roam, and the river is wonderful. It is nice a far away from everyone, while still easily accessed. Cindy was very helpful and friendly, yet completely unobtrusive.

We loved being able to have so much land to wander and be so far away from the city. Cindy was amazing in communication, answering all the questions my group had, and was extremely friendly. A place we will definitely be recommending to friends as it was an amazing set up. So much provided that we ended up not having to use a lot of the extra equipment that we had brought. Highly recommend planning a stay with Cindy.

Just book it!
This Hipcamp is so fun! Besides Cindy meeting us when we arrived, we didn’t see another soul our entire stay. The bed is so comfortable, and it’s the best feeling of sleeping out in nature but with the same comforts of home. Our dogs were the happiest hanging out at the river and exploring all day. Yosemite is definitely close enough for a day trip, which we did! You pretty much have everything you could need on-site, it’s clean and thoughtful, couldn’t ask for more. Additionally, Cindy is a very helpful and understanding host. We never had any communication issues with her. We did have some service, but it was slow! We missed our checkout instructions because of that. I’d recommend asking for them a day early! Don’t sleep on this place!! It’s amazing!

Magical!
What a magical place! My boys and I had the best time at Glitter Cove! The tent is so thoughtfully designed and comfy. The camp kitchen had everything we needed. The little shower and potty was very convenient. We fished, frogged, found cool rocks and crystals, swam, hiked, and fell asleep to the sound of the river…heavenly!
