Miriam and Damon offer a warm welcome at their charming campsite, surrounded by picturesque scenery and filled with thoughtful amenities. Guests rave about the clean facilities, including a well-appointed bathroom and cozy fire pit area. The presence of goats adds a unique touch, and the location provides easy access to attractions like Lake New Melones and Yosemite. However, a few visitors mentioned disturbances from neighboring animals, which might be a consideration for tent campers.

We booked both the tent and RV site for our large group of 8. The hosts were super nice and took care of all our needs before we arrived. The RV was super clean and comfy while the tent site was nicely groomed and flat. Firewood was provided and so does all the utensils for cooking and games. A quick 15 minutes drive to Downtown Sonora for restaurants and bars. Will definitely come back again!!!

Miriam and Damon are wonderful hosts! They are so friendly and go out of their way to make your experience a delight. The sight is lovely with lots of decorative lights, beautiful patio furniture and a fire pit that makes you never want to leave. The bathroom is awesome with a large shower with multiple heads and lovely decorations. We truly felt like we were camping near family members. Thank you so much Damon and Miriam!

Wonderful

Tent · Group trip

We had a FANTASTIC first Hipcamp experience. Damon and Miriam are wonderful people with a beautiful property. The bathroom, shower and coffee were awesome. Their land was perfect for us. Waking up to the sweet sounds of their goats and chickens was awesome. Their property was a perfect proximity for us to head to Lake New Melones and various other beautiful places. We will definitely be back to their place next time we head that way. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend

Amazing experience. Lovely owners who looked after us and our kids with nothing being a problem or too much. The farm experience with our children was a welcome addition. We stayed in the onsite RV which was in excellent condition, fully air conditioned with plenty of space for 2 adults, 2 kids and 2 small dogs. The house garden and local area is beautiful and all within close proximity to must see experiences.
