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.

Diamond Gulch Camp
The place was super nice and very well organised. We especially liked the showers and the possibility to hike and walk in the nature.

Walt’s Camp Tent
This is the BEST glamp spot!
This location is amazing! The tent was super clean with two cots in it. There was a table and two chairs setup by the firepit, with some firewood already gathered in a pile! The outdoor shower was clean, spacious, and had hot water. I had a view of the surrounding hills while taking a shower! The cell service is also really good -- I could even use my phone as a hotspot and take a quick zoom meeting for work right in the campground. Its a little hard to navigate for the first time at night, so I suggest arriving in the day.

Diamond Gulch Camp
Facilitates a fun and memorable tim
There were several choices of spaces to set up tent. The tables, fire pits & trash cans were thoughtfully arranged. The trees provided sufficient shade. We set up additional shade. The host came by to get acquainted & pick up the trash; he was very helpful & friendly. The showers were warm & had good pressure. Bathrooms & have wash station were always available & well maintained. We felt very safe. It was comfortable & we slept through the night. Don't skip on visiting the donkeys!

Site 4-Walt Mining Camp 1893
Very friendly and busy campsite! Lots of open camp spots to choose from at the location and very active work crew! Everything was up kept and checked multiple times a day. Outdoor showers had lots of hot water. Toilets were clean and lots of nice shady areas and stars at night. Only issue we had was the amount of wasps near by that made it difficult to cook during the day time. The cows were cute tho!
