With fast wifi, abundant hot water for showers, clean/flush toilets and inside space for cooking with a commercial sink for dishes, all the necessities for a comfortable stay are on site. Use Red Tail Ranch as an ideal launching off point for Yosemite or stay on the property and enjoy all that it has to offer. Red Tail Ranch is a beautiful 90 acre property in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Among the oak woodlands, meadows and coniferous forest, there are numerous trails to explore the property and direct riding access to a developed mountain biking area nearby. Great birding, botanizing and wildlife watching opportunities abound. We have RV sites with hookups, a five site drive-in campground and one walk-in campsite- all with clean, flush toilet bathrooms, hot outdoor showers, indoor camp kitchen and gathering space. Whether your pitching a tent, parking a campervan or rv, there are opportunities for everyone. For large events, workshops or reunions, Red Tail Ranch can be rented out in its entirety- please reach out with any questions or how to do this. New additions to the campground include hammocks, basketball, cornhole, darts and a ring toss game for all to enjoy. We are 10 minutes from the small town of Groveland with a market and restaurants and just down the road from the put in for rafting on the Tuolumne river. Our pricing is a little higher than other places nearby and this is due to the property's great locations, incredible beauty, and all of the amenities added for a great experience. If wanting more information about Yosemite or the surroundings, host Robb Hirsch is a biologist and professional nature photographer with 25 years of experience in the area. He also is connected with all the local guides for any outdoor adventure referrals. Concerned about getting into Yosemite with the new summer reservation requirements? We know all the details, including how to navigate and get through or around the system. Stay with us and we will show you how to access the park with or without reservations.

Awesome place. Awesome host. We had a serene and peaceful stay. Robb is super nice, kind and helpful. Our camper drained out and he helped us immediately, which I greatly appreciate given we were very new to camping world and had little ones with us. Will highly recommend this place.

I had a great stay at Red Tail Ranch, I really can't fault the place. The facilities are great and the surrounding land is beautiful. I'd highly recommend staying here. I had the pleasure of meeting Robb before I left and hope to stay with again in the future. He answered any questions I had very quickly and his directions made it easy to find the place.

10/10: amazing experience at Robb’s

Headwaters RV #1

Highly recommended! 10/10 experience. Robb’s campgrounds are lovely, with everything an RV can ask for. From hook ups, to a very clean bathroom; all was there. The campground is quite, well spaced and surrounded by beautiful nature. However, what makes this place even more special is Robb himself. We had a problem with our RV (a leaking generator…) and Robb came immediately to give us helping hand. Unfortunately the generator could not be fixed and the fumes were quite strong. Robb offered a private room for us for the night and would not except any reimbursement. He really saved the day for us and we could not be more grateful. Go stay at Robb’s!

Rolling foothills and birds every morning and evening . Robb is a very responsive host. 5G cell service and close to Yosemite and Groveland. We look forward to returning when the wild flowers are blooming in spring. Mark
