Just outside yosemite 15mi, and close to rainbow pool! Perfect spot to stay if you dont want to camp in the madness of yosemite national park. Quiet, relaxed, with a caretaker in the summertime. Outhouses well cared for. Flys in the summer, but not much you can do about that. Bear boxes at each camp for food storage. Mine had ants, so make sure all food is sealed up! Great nearby scenery, huge vis... Just outside yosemite 15mi, and close to rainbow pool! Perfect spot to stay if you dont want to camp in the madness of yosemite national park.

Small campground but clean and well maintained. Good number of water faucets and close by to trails. Only about 8 sites with some rather close together. Close to Rainbow Pool and Groveland for supplies. Dog friendly.

This campsite is really clean. Dont expect to be alone during the day as the Fire personnel are active around these backroads. In the night it is really quiet. Occasionally you can hear a car or 2 pass by on the road. The bathrooms are extremely clean. (Please help the camp host by keeping them that way). Wild Turkeys came in to camp with their baby Turkeys. No other wildlife seen. Big Ol spiders... This campsite is really clean.

It’s their home. The campfire ring is huge. No electricity or signal here. A few peeps would get a wave of signal here or there. Keep the dogs leashed so they don’t go off and get hurt. There is water and it is potable as of 6/2024. Cheers !
