Fall River Lake

The Best Pet-Friendly Camping Near Fall River Lake, California

We have 155 acres of the beautiful Sierra foothills ready to be explored and enjoyed! We are about 10-15 minutes from downtown Murphys, just north of Fullen Rd. This is a working farm for our business, Blooms and Shrooms. We grow produce, mushrooms and cut flowers.

There are 2 different listings to choose from: The Soup Kitchen and 1 Pine. Please double check you’re picking the right listing because they are different areas and offer different experiences. The 1st area to park/camp is the “Soup Kitchen” near the flower garden where you can enjoy an outdoor shower, kitchen space and established fire pit (see pics of the Soup Kitchen). This area is down the driveway a couple hundred yards from where we usually are area so you can more or less be on your own, depending on if we have work to do down there or if there are other campers. We are happy to chat or leave you be, just let us know what your needs are. We do tend to be social and as an intention I would like to say that I would hope the people coming here are open and friendly and it would be cool if this was a place where campers could meet each other and maybe some new friendships could be made. If you’re looking for a more isolated spot, see the other listing for 1 Pine. “1 Pine” is accessed by our second driveway that is just down the road a hundred yards from the farm. The driveway is kind of rough but definitely manageable with a truck or SUV. The drive goes up a couple hundred yards to the hilltop (we call it “1 Pine” where there is some open space to park and there’s a trail that branches off that takes you along the ridge to another open space (2 Pines) that is only a few minutes walk down the trail. 2 Pine has great views of the sunset and is totally secluded and private and would be a good spot to either bring some friends for a little sunset party or for someone who wants to seriously unplug and chill on the ridge top.



Mighty Farms

**In Groveland CA and right next to Pine Mountain Lake and 30 miles to Yosemite !**

We are new to The Dyrt but please read our incredible reviews at the Hipcamp:

[https://www.hipcamp.com/en-US/land/california-diamond-gulch-nelhzzp2?search\_source=homepage-autocomplete&adults=1&children=0](<https://www.hipcamp.com/en-US/land/california-diamond-gulch-nelhzzp2?search_source=homepage-autocomplete&adults=1&children=0>)

We have 824 acres on a beautiful ranch with two small ponds. On our property you'll find frogs, turtles, lots of oak trees, pine trees and stunning views of Yosemite. We're 30 miles from the main gate of Yosemite National Park and there’s a golf course less than a mile away. We're not far from town either -- in just a few minutes you can drive to our local grocery store and pizza parlor. When you come to the ranch it feels like you are hundreds of miles away from civilization and it's real quiet.

This is a great place for someone who wants to escape city life and enjoy the tranquility 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 the 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

"I firmly believe that Nature brings solace in all troubles." -Anne Frank-

Pitch your tent under the shade of a majestic oak tree, right on the bank of the Tuolumne River, whose waters originate in Yosemite National Park. Keep an eye out for river otters, turtles, bald eagles, and beaver. Expect nighttime visitors like owls, foxes, and raccoons. Cole Ranch is a bit of an oasis surrounded by almond and walnut orchards. Pick a treat from the wild blackberry bushes, or from our family organic pomegranate orchard (mid-October thru mid-December). Warm yourself with your own personal fire pit in your camp, no extra charge (bring your own firewood, or purchase seasoned oak from Your Host). Outdoor kitchen available with a coffee bar, refrigeration, electricity, hot water, 3-burner stove, and BBQ’s.

\*\*ADVISORY\*\* (9/08/23) 8:05 AM

The river is back to normal flow, perfect for wading, swimming, fishing, kayaking, or any other river activities.

\*\*ADVISORY\*\* (8/10/23) 8:05 AM

The Tuolumne River unexpectedly rose about 2- 3' over night. The entire gravel shore us under water. Wading is relatively safe, but use extreme caution when boating or swimming.



Cole Ranch

This is a primitive camp spot. No amenities on location. Just a nice flat space for a tent.

Private property on 15 acres 1 mile from Lake Don Pedro. We have a goat farm that is all off grid with 360° views of the Sierra Mountains, Yosemite Valley and the Central Valley. Amazing sunsets and sunrise. We offer tent camping spots along with RV camping with no hookups. Very private and only 45 min from Yosemite National Park.

We are a goat farm and have a LGD (Large Guardian Dog) who watches over the goats. She does bark during the night keeping the predators away. Her name is Heron and she will more then likely be saying hi to all guests. She is a lover and friendly with all people.



Camp Joy

Do you want privacy? I'm talking about privacy where you can't even see other campers. Just nature all around you. Silence, crickets, so many stars in the open dark sky, and our amazing cliff views of the Stanislaus River! Take it all in.

We are only 15 minutes out of Oakdale CA but it feels like you are in the middle of nowhere! Within 30 minutes of wineries, Gold Rush towns, rivers, lakes, casinos- so many experiences! Tranquility and adventure all in one.

Yosemite- we are right on the way (1.5 hrs East) and historic Knights Ferry with river access, covered bridge and museum (5 mins. West),

Three lakes(Tulloch, Don Pedro and New Melones) are within 30 minutes as well. We have so many destinations within an hour of our campground - a list is provided at each site.

There is an active wildlife population on our propterty as well, a whole family of deer are residents of the area, and cotton tail rabbits and hawks are abundant.

(If you are interested in off-grid homesteading, we can show you what we have accomplished in the 9 months that we have been here. It has been an adventure with all this crazy weather!)



Roblealto (Tall Oaks)

Army veteran and outdoor enthusiast that loves to share my passion for the wilderness!

One hour from Yosemite's West Gate, we have plenty of room, extra camping gear and amenities, and lots of peace and quiet! ATVs and guided tours are also possible upon request. Four-wheel drive is required for RVs and campers, and we can assist with your arrival. Please call or email ahead.

Beautiful peak of canyon 20acre glamping ground in the heart of mokelumne hill. All day look down on red tail hawks soring the skies and all night watch shooting stars from your hot tub. This site is for adults 21 and older each room comes with a complementary bottle of one of our local wines. This canyon site has a hot tub under the stars all stainless steel outdoor kitchen and outdoor hot shower but best of all the view❤️

This glampsite is in the middle of historical mokelumne hill. Here you can look off the canyon peak and see with your own eyes the water ways the miners used during the gold rush. It's a five minute drive to downtown mokelumne hill and 15 minute drive to downtown Jackson witch are both a antique shopper/collectors dream.
