Shooting Star Sanctuary and Retreat near Yosemite National Forest
About
This campground is donation based. Please book through The Dyrt so the owner knows you are arriving, and call the host to confirm your stay!
Each site has access to a communal outdoor kitchen which includes a large gas grill, microwave, toaster oven, hot plate, coffee maker, and an assortment of kitchenware. The site has a seating area with a view, a full fridge, and a large dish-wash sink, and food prep station. Each site has access to a bathroom with toilet, sink and shower. Guests are also encouraged to interact with over 100 animals on the ranch such as puppies, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, mini-pigs and lots of cats and kittens. We will happily introduce you to the Ranch and our practices in our mission to promote the use of life-stock to pursue sustainable fire management. The ranch is nearly 100 acres, and affords several miles of hiking and bike trails, some off-roading areas, and two ponds. And being 35 minutes away from Yosemite National Forest is a bonus as well.

Beautiful Backcountry Land
I showed up to Jasons property early monday morning to be greeted with a smile. After we talked for a little he opened up the gate to release several mini pigs, mini goats, ducks, and chickens! My girlfriend and I were smiling cheek to cheek. He let us hangout all over the property and interact with all the animals. While we were distracted by all the farm animals, a handful of kittens came out and started playing with us. At night we were able to enjoy a beautiful fire together and check out the crazy starlit sky. Thanks again Jason.
Amazing farm stay
Jason was such a friendly, helpful, and welcoming host! His family was so sweet.
We spent 3 nights and set up our tent on a secluded hill - Jason had a lot of room for us to choose from. He also had a trailer with a bathroom that we were able to use, as well as a fridge/freezer for our food. It was an awesome accommodation while visiting Yosemite!
Jason’s farm had such a warm energy, we really enjoyed this unique stay :) oh and the animals were so adorable!! The cherry on top for this stay.

Nice large camp spot with no neighbors
Jason, the owner has 100 acres he opens up to campers. Very nice, large spots. There are animals on site which the kids liked interacting with and feeding them our leftovers. An outdoor kitchen with a sink is available up at the house. Not posted: donations to help feed the animals. They told us about a river 10 mins from the campsite which was beautiful. Be careful, the rocks are slippery.
