The RV site we stayed in, site 8, worked as advertised with 50a electric, water and septic. But, the pool was empty, lots of debris (dead branches laying in piles) from fallen trees and dilapidated cabins that had been struck by falling trees in the past few months. It appeared that the cleanup is moving at a snail's pace -- disappointed in the initial impression and hope they can get things in order soon. The property has an awesome potential to be amazing but it's going to take some resources to make that happen which I'm not sure ownership is interested in undertaking given the current state/condition of the grounds. The camp manager was very cordial and helpful in recommending ideas for our planned visit to YNP. read more

Resort? More like "LAST RESORT" I don't even know where to begin with this place. Maybe I'll start with the positives... - they called to check on our arrival when we missed arrival time - checked in with us the next day to inquire about our arrival - moved us to a bigger site to accommodate our big trailer and family without us asking. Moved to site 9. Charged us an upgrade fee - full rv hookups - friendly and courteous - quiet 8/10 Now, here we go... First impressions were a 0/10. The place is run down. If we had just driven past it I would've thought it was unoccupied and dilapidated. But it's not empty, it is indeed occupied. Looks like a tornado came through the property. It's barren and overgrown. The buildings are falling apart. Tarps and plastic covers line the top of the damaged roof. A couple cabins have been destroyed by a large tree, they have not attempted to rectify that and it appears from the previous reviews it's been like that for a very long time. Broken glass, debris are strewn about. The pool is closed and disgusting. We fortunately had a nice rig to reside in, because when we checked out we used the bathroom for final usage before hitting the road. That was a mistake. It's dark, dank and dismal. It smelled like cat pee. The toilets are discolored and dirty, the floor is sunken in by the sink with no drain, the shower leaks. It's so dark that I had my kids keep the toilet door open to have light. Thank God we didn't need to use these during our stay. The park, is not really a park. It's a swing set and a metal climbing tower. My kids made the best of it regardless of how lacking the features were. FYI, the sand is full of dog shit. The office/store is an absolute no go. Check in and then get provisions down the road at the gas station. So, there you go. If you really need a place to go, then I guess it's a last resort option, but if you have any other accommodations in mind, go there instead. read more

For those visiting Yosemite entering from Big Oak Flat entrance from Highway 120 (Groveland), the intent is to provide pros/cons of this RV park with a couple suggestions outside Yosemite. · Stayed at the RV park for 1 week in July 2021 in a 36' motorhome (hot week and during drought) · RV park is a 15 minute drive from Yosemite Big Oak Flat entrance · From Big Oak Flat entrance to Yosemite Valley inside park is another 30- 45min drive · Spots 8, 9, 15 are the best for large rigs · RV full hookups were good quality and stable · Pool was out of commission, not sure why, it had water in it - drought? The hotel next door has an operating pool, if the RV park pool was in working order it would have enhanced our experience · The "office" is a small window near the gas pumps · The "store" was never open the multiple times we stopped by, no idea why, looking through the glass the shelves were barren - such a disappointment and missed opportunity for RV park to make additional revenue · The laundry room was somewhat functional · I booked this RV park based on website and photos, in reality it is very different - overall it's rough but does the job, it won't win any glamour awards - but again does the job needed · No Verizon or AT&T signal from our iphones · WiFi did work for streaming Netflix/Amazon but obviously reduced as the park filled-up · This property has such potential, it's a shame to see it in disrepair with the need for TLC · Diner which is a quick 5 minute walk has amazing food and people are so nice! If you enjoy waterfalls and natural pools, you must visit Rainbow Pool (2 miles away from RV park - easy access) and Carlson Falls Trails (near entrance to Yosemite - moderate to challenging 45min hike each way, but worth it) read more

I don't really enjoy writing bad reviews but I do like leaving good ones. I decided to pull in after feeling too tired to drive. Ate at the little diner and then slept off some deep fried goods. The guy was cool that checked us in. Although there are some fallen trees, I'm in the tree industry and know that the current drought in California has taken a toll on our trees and landscape. So that didn't bother me. Pool being closed, who cares! We're in a drought so it was no big deal to me. Plus it's winter. I think these reviews on wanting a crazy high end place is insane. What I looked for and seen was this: Good lighting Nice staff Safe environment for couples or families, or even single people to stay at over night or for the weekend. Packed up this morning, quick drive to Yosemite and back home all before Sunday traffic. Overall will use this place again. read more

Overpriced for what it's worth. Also there's a dog fee even though the sites are not up kept very well. Campsite was overgrown and looked like it hadn't been cared for in years. The bathrooms had lots of issues like closures and lack of toilet paper and hot water. The water pressure was also very bad at our site, almost like there wasn't any water coming out. I would highly recommend not coming here if you're looking for a good, nice place to stay. Also there is a dog fee even though the sites aren't exactly dog friendly so I wouldn't bring your dogs here either. read more

My SO and I stayed here for two nights while visiting Yosemite. This place is very affordable compared to the other lodging options in the area. I believe it is one of the cheapest accommodations you can find being so close to the park. The resort is around 12 miles to Big Oak Flat Entrance and after that it is another 24 miles to Yosemite Valley. I booked us a garden cottage and it fit our needs very well. It was $195/night. It had a full kitchen with stove, microwave, oven, fridge, pots and pans, utensils, and a coffee maker. The garden cottages come with a full size bed, bunk beds, and a futon sofa. These cottages are advertised as being able to sleep 6 people, which they can, but it would feel very crowded putting 6 people in there. I felt like it was the perfect amount of space for two people and couldn't imagine having more people in the cottage with us. The cottages were relatively clean and also come with a small TV that had directTV. My only complaint about the cottage was that the beds were hard which made it somewhat hard to sleep at night. Outside of the cottage, there was a BBQ pit and a picnic table. The resort also has a nice swimming pool, general store, and a gas station, which is very convenient. We loved how quiet the resort is. We could hardly tell that there were other people around. There is no cell phone service in this area at all and the free WiFi is very spotty. However, I enjoyed being off the grid for a few days. People who complain about the lack of WiFi and/or cell phone service picked the wrong spot to vacation at. If you are coming from the Bay Area and looking for a relatively inexpensive place to sleep while visiting Yosemite, I would recommend checking out this place. This is a great no frills place to sleep while enjoying Yosemite during the day. read more

What a disappointment First let me say, that anytime you call more than 4 times to get an reservation......STOP there . Second, when you have to use 1st gear to get up the gravel road to your RV spot.....STOP there . Third, when your sewer hook-up runs UPHILL......STOP there. Fourth, no trees for shade.......stop there . Fifth, when the pool is greener that the trees......Leave! ‍ Needless to say, I had to get home to write this review, because why you ask......NO CELL, WIFI, OR CABLE service. And they charge $60 per night to stay there. Guess, we're the fools. read more

Such a charming campground. RV's mixed in with cabins. All amenities including a store and gas. Great stopping point on the west side of Yosemite national forest as it is the closest one to the entrance of the park. The only unfortunate items was our RV site was quite unlevel and hard to set up. Laundry facilities could use some updating and pest control. read more

Yosemite Ridge Resort - Drive on the way to cut campground - Resorts Near Me - Groveland, California

I do not recommend anyone stay here unless you're insanely desperate and even then you should only pay a fraction of what they're asking. Our trip was ruined as we had to cut Yosemite short and move onto Sequoia due to the state of this place. The pictures are false advertising as you think you're booking a nice place to stay. The only positive is it's location to the park. We were supposed to be there for 4 days, but it was so bad we left after 2 (it took a couple of days to find alternate arrangements) and are now fighting for a refund as Reserve America and the campground owner are both saying we need to talk to the other. Management changed recently and the new management is NOT taking care of the place, but making sure to blame the old owner. If you look back a few months (when we booked) it had good reviews at the time. Reviews go south a month or two ago after the new owner took over. Last I checked it doesn't take a month to get new shower curtains, clean the bathrooms, and get hot water. The pool is out of order and covered. Laundry room filthy and mostly out of order. Bathrooms absolutely disgusting - shower pans filthy, rusty, hair in the drains, moldy shower curtains, and no hot water in bathrooms or laundry. Countertops covered in dust and debris. Major bee / wasp infestation, but they're doing nothing about it. There's some old traps that are full and dried up and no longer working. So if you're ok with a cold shower in a dirty disgusting bathroom, no pool, and sharing your space with hundreds of bees then this is the place for you!! There's several other campgrounds in the area that all appeared to be better taken care of than this dump. I've reached out to Reserve America and advised they should remove them from their list as they are not up to par. Their pictures show a lovely pool, green grass, good facilities - it's none of those things. read more

Weekend stay for a guy's whitewater rafting adventure with AO Rafting the Cherry Creek Class V run. For a fairly reasonable rate of $175 per night for the newer Lodgepole Pine family cabin, this Groveland location close to our rafting meet up was great for three guys. Like many of the other cabins here, the Lodgepole Pine cabin was like a prefabricated RV, but made of wood. This unit had a high ceiling common room with flat screen TV, AC unit, dining table, sofa/futon and a kitchenette with refrigerator, separate queen bedroom, a low ceiling loft above the bedroom with a full size air filled mattress, two bunks in a tiny alcove next to the full bathroom. Everything fit into this rectangular prefab unit. The cabin was clean, had plenty of light, the AC worked hard, and provided enough sleeping options good for three guys who didn't want to sleep too close to each other (one slept in the bedroom, one in the loft and the third in the bunk room). The whole "resort" was a throwback to the 1940's or 1950's as far as the condition of the onsite office, general store, laundry room and community bath house (rustic). The brand new not yet open swimming pool will be a needed amenity. Overall it's a mix of RVs with prefab cabins, but folks honored the 10 pm quiet time curfew and we all slept OK on the hard beds and mattresses. The adjacent Yosemite Westgate Lodge is nicer and more modern by comparison, but the summertime rate significantly higher. If on a budget, and for a brief visit, this place worked. read more

The staff is very helpful and nice. We are traveling in an RV and used Google maps, Apple maps and Waze. Each of the navigation software programs gave us the same directions that took us a road not constructed for large RVs to travel on. We called and the gentleman was able to give an alternate route that was much better. Once we arrived at the resort, we found it to be nice and well maintained. It appears that the cabin rental is their primary focus but the RV sites were nicely spaced out with full hookups. They have free internet for the guest but it is a lot slower than we are used too. The cellular service for Verizon was very poor as well. Putting all that aside, the resort is nice and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again when we are in the Yosemite area. read more

This place is our little oasis and we can't say enough good things about the campground area, but especially the host, Rand. We have an almost 40' rig and Rand is always willing to help guide us into our spot, if need be. The old sites aren't right on top of each other and many have BBQ grills and fire pits. We love the fact that there are full hookups with good water pressure. Some people have complained about internet/WiFi issues. Yea.. there's very limited cell service and when the campground is full, the WiFi just can't keep up. We don't really care because the whole point of being in the mountains is to unplug. We've been here maybe half a dozen times in the past year and every time the other guests have been awesome. No issues with super loud music or late night parties. The location is fantastic. You're only about 10-15 minutes up the hill from a grocery store and hardware store, and maybe 20 minutes down the hill from the entrance to Yosemite. This campground is our little hidden gem and one of our favorite places to get away for a couple days. Adding: We haven't stayed in any of the new sites up on top of the hill or the new sites up by the road. Those seem to be smaller, not a lot of trees or shade, and the sites by the road don't have sewer hook ups. read more

Read their description on their website, sounded like a nice place, but boy, we're we wrong! It looks nothing like the pictures they had posted. Their pool was a scum pond. (black water)! We were in the bare lot and the weeds were up to our knees. They advertised "full hookups", but the power box fuse kept on blowing. We finally had to run our generator the whole time. This is the WORST place we have ever stayed! It was so bad, we stayed only 1 night, even though our reservations was for 5 nights. We have been fighting with the new owners for a refund, but their communication is non-existent. Do yourself a favor and pass on this so called resort. You'd be better of in a Walmart parking lot. Save yourself the headaches and frustration! Andy read more

Update.....owner phoned and had re-thought it and decided to refund us our $40 deposit... We had concerns about the weather when we were to arrive. Phoned the owners and asked. He told us there would be no problem in cancelling if the weather turned bad. Phoned this morning to cancel...10 degrees and snow. We were charged a $20 admin fee. We questioned it and he told us we should have read the contract! Very rude.... read more

We spent 5 days here and the person who works there helped us out navigate our way to the resort because many highways were closed due to all the fire that was going on. Also, he lent us his water hose because the RV we rented didn't have the proper hose size. Overall the experience was very nice and although we were out traveling most of the time, the people here were great! I would highly recommend this spot! read more

We had a great stay here in our RV. Owner was very friendly and accommodating. We had a back in space for a 36' coach and had no problem navigating the grounds and entering our space. We will definitely be staying again. read more

Old and outdated. I was surprised they actually added soap to the restroom when it was empty.

It should be said that the owners of the "resort" are very nice. It's a husband and wife that now own the property. They were very friendly, well mannered and had good customer service. Although we experienced problems the owner did do what he could do fix them. When we first arrived he even helped guide us into our back in site. Some recommendations to the owners would be the following: updated showers would be good (nothing fancy just more cleaning maintenance, turn over time on the mats inside the showers, replacing the shower heads (which would help with water pressure and are less than $20 a piece to replace)), replace the shower curtains for more durable ones. This is both in the men's and women's showers. Also soap is needed in the bathrooms. And the floors need to be cleaned more often in both sides. The properties water pressure and piping needs to be fixed. We experienced several days of mornings and mid after noons with no water pressure at our site or at the bathrooms. And finally the WiFi needs updating. I do not except this from a place rated with 3 dollar signs ($$$) and the price at which you set the sites and the cabins. If no updating is done you shouldn't be charging as much. Before you book you should know: bathrooms are not luxury bathrooms by any means. If you are use to camping showers, gym showers, ymca showers then you are mentally and physically prepared. On the up side the women's bathrooms do have a locking door changing room in front of the shower giving you a small changing room. There is never any soap in the bathrooms so make sure you bring all your toiletries with you when you go. The men's is worse...there is a small plastic curtain where there should be a lock door for changing. Minimal lighting for the toilets in both bathrooms but the showers are very well lit. The showers do put out hot water and the pressure (when working) is good. The rv sites are gravel paved but easy enough to level. CALL AHEAD if you need a pull through site it's not specified from what I could tell. No tents allowed anywhere. Hookups are okay. Electric and sewer were good. WiFi on and off and more people means less service. Water on the other hand was terrible. Not through the fault of the owner he did his best to fix it every morning but be aware that their piping is heavily rusted and water pressure is extremely low. Have good filtration on your rv and your tank filled when water pressure is good for counter measure. If you get a cabin, then good luck I don't think there is a way to prepare for water loss or water filtration. It's nice that the owner is always on site. Stays quiet at the site overall but your neighbors are quiet close to you. The buck meadow restaurant...terrible skip it, make breakfast at your site or drive 30-45 mins to another diner. Yosemite park entrance is about a good 30 mins away if you're comfortable driving winding roads, if not, then I'd say 35-45 minute drive. Construction on the roads is common so look out for stopped traffic and one way roads. The resort has its own gas the next gas station nearby is about 10-15 miles away give or take. I am planning on staying here again. I do hope I do not have the same water issues next time. I would argue the price being so much with so many issues with the hookups but I doubt that will change. I do hope that the owner reads reviews and works off them. Next time I plan on mentioning it to him. read more

We stayed here for three days during the new year in one of their garden cabins. It's a neat place with a full range kitchen. The pros: just 14 miles away from north gate. The owner is a helpful man, responds to your questions with a smile. The entire place is well kept. Gas station on site is convenient. The cons, not exactly about the place which is great, but about the location: cell phone reception is zero, at least for at&t. Wifi is available, but is slow and weak. If you want a complete away from the city experience, at the least price tag, relatively near by to yosemite park, this is the best place. We will be coming here again. read more

Very nice, quiet RV and cabin resort. We stayed for the nights in our 23' travel trailer, Oct 2016. Originally assigned site 12, but had to change because electrical/tv hook up is on the left side of the space and our shore power cord wouldn't reach. They quickly switched us to site 13. This was a nice space and has a little grass area behind it. Other nice sites are 2, 3, 4, and 8. 9 is a large pull-through space. Each site had a coal bbq, but we brought our own above ground fire pit and used that, upon approval. Bathrooms/showers were acceptable although one of the showers wasn't working. Location is about 20 min from Yosemite entrance and another 45 down to the valley. Very happy with our stay and will return. Gas pump out front with reasonable pricing, for the area that is. read more

We were SUPER happy with the accommodations. We were there the week before Thanksgiving, so there was very little traffic, with very few people - just how we wanted it. The cabin had a full kitchen with dishes, a full fridge, pots & pans, utensils, soap and a sponge. We went grocery shopping before we arrived and were set for our whole stay. We wanted something comfortable but not luxurious. We wanted to stay close to the park but not pay a premium - this is exactly what we got. There was also a diner within walking distance, which was, again, just what we needed. A note: we were unable to get connected to wifi and had no cellphone reception. Ended up being a blessing in disguise. Not sure if other guest had a problem, but we gave up trying and read a book, chatted with each other and went to bed early. There was a TV, but in the end, we didn't really care and were grateful for the quiet time away. Would definitely stay here again. Super chill management. read more

I would highly advise people not stay at the Yosemite Ridge Resort because of how the owner, Joe, treats their prospective patrons. After the last several email communications with Joe, I will never stay at this place even though I visit and stay in or nearby Yosemite 2-3 times per year. There are several concerns I have with Joe and his business but the main issue is that he will charge you a $20 admin fee for cancellations despite it not being clearly articulated on their website nor in the reservation confirmation email I received after booking my reservation. See the attached email and website screen prints showing what my understanding was based on my reservation email and their website policies. I initially called to cancel my reservation and did not ever receive a call back about it. I ended up having to email them as a second form of communication to make my cancellation request. I feel like I have had to hound them in getting a response back to both the cancellation request and then about the concern about the $20 admin fee. I have tried to be gracious in my communications trying to let him know that I do not remember seeing anything about a cancellation fee. I asked if he would do a goodwill gesture and return the $20 admin charge since I did not see it online or in my emails. I felt like he ignored my email by not responding to my email for over a day and then after I sent another follow up email over a day later he was rude in his response back. It just shows his true character with handling client interactions. I also felt very concerned with this business that they would not provide a receipt to me of how much they would be charging my credit card when booking the reservation. It all just shows how unprofessional this business is. So the bottom line is that it would be better to find another place to stay where the owners are professional and will treat their patrons with respect read more

If you're looking to go to Yosemite, look to stay in the valley or go camping there. This place is about an hours drive to Yosemite over some windy roads. Living area is just average. Nothing great...everything is pretty run down, but I guess that's what is expected...IMO I'd rather go camping than stay here read more

My boyfriend, his two children, and I stayed here Labor Day weekend and we loved it! We decided to book something for the holiday weekend last minute and were lucky enough to get the last Loft Family Cabin! The cabin and facilities were great! We had a full kitchen and separate bedroom. The kids loved sleeping in the loft. The only complaint we had was the pillows. They were horrible, bring your own. The location of the resort was awesome, only 1 hour from the Yosemite Valley floor. It made it nice to head back after a day of exploring and relax by the pool. We will definitely be back! read more

We booked in for a night at this place. Few things - the lodge for 6 people was so small that only 4 of us felt overcrowded. You can't see that in pics can you? - there are the cheapest quality uncomfortable airbeds - bath with cold water after 5 mins shower was ON. 3 out of 4 of us didn't get to take bath. - appliances were dirty. - internet not working (not good because cell phones don't have coverage in the park) When I brought this up to the guy in charge, he mentioned that each one of these issues are simply accidental and it never happens there. Overall I think this business doesn't pay much attention to customer needs. It's just an ordinary business that goes behind the money. read more

RV sites aren't level, water pressure is horrible, wifi only worked half the time, and there are no fire rings at the sites. Our neighbors only used their cabin for half the time they pre-paid for because the $150/night accommodations were miserable. The whole "resort" is old asphalt and gravel with small patches of natural landscape. Electric and sewer were acceptable. I have no desire to ever return. read more

This was the worst RV park I have ever visited. We were scheduled to spend 5 nights here and left after 1 night. The pool was a scum pond, WIFI was not available, the electricity kept going out and the Bear lot were were parked in the weeds were almost up to my knees. We have tried for 3 weeks now to get a refund on the 4 nights we did not stay here and the owner will not return my calls. read more

We just came back from a wonderful RV trip at Yosemite Ridge Resort! Rand the owner was so helpful and kind, came by a few times to check on us as he knew it was our 1st time in an RV! Helped us unplug a water pipe that wouldn't budge at night, helped us set up the electric and water and sewage hookups. Even gave us a bag of salad as I forgot to stop by the grocery before getting there. The area around our spot was swept and cleaned everyday. We had a great time! Thank you Rand! Congrats on your grandchild! read more

The place is a total disaster. Looks nothing like the site. Pool is completely out-of-order. Restrooms and showers are extremely dirty. Staff is very unfriendly. We've been on many campsites before, but never experienced this. The sites are very expensive but a worth only not even $1. Don't go there unless your completely insane. Read the other reviews that were posted on 8/1/2021 and on 30/7/2, which describe the situation pretty good. All other posts with better ratings are false and must be fabricated. read more

In response to management feedback: I would also like to clarify that my review was an accurate description of my personal experience while staying there. I did not find the pictures representative, and there was definitely "sway" in the cabins we stayed in. I am not sure what the size of our neighbor was, but I don't think that is so relevant. I do agree that it is an inexpensive alternative, and appreciate your apology for the water. read more

We visited this RV resort in July 2020. We spent three nights here in a full hook up RV site and enjoyed our time. It is located in Groveland so during the summer months the temps are a bit high and it can be very warm. They do have many shaded spots which helps with the heat. They take very good care of this campground and it is very clean and they were working on several projects while we were there. Some of the spots are a little close so you will get to know your neighbors. We did not use the restrooms so I can not speak to those. They do have a pool but it was out of service during our visit. They have a small little store where you can buy forgotten essentials or an ice cream. It was cute and would be a good home base to visit Yosemite. read more

Scheduled a stay here this past week. We had some mechanical issues with our rented Motorhome, and unfortunately had to call to cancel. The place is owned and operated by a husband and wife team, Rand and Gwyn. Spoke with Rand, who was very understanding. He offered to reschedule, despite being a last minute call. He ended up giving me the option whether I wanted a complete refund or to come back another time. I was surprised that he was so flexible. I'll be sure to give the place another opportunity. Incredible service. read more

I only gave it a three star just because of the many disappointments I had to endure in order to get the cabin. I was told many things from the start to finish, and felt like a ping pong ball, back and forth. I must say, the communication was iffy at best. However, Joe, the owner, and all the women who work for him were extremely nice, and accommodating. It all worked out, but if you have the money, definitely spring for a garden cabin. The smaller camping cabin is OK, but no place to cook except the grill outside. So bring hamburger, hot dogs, buns, etc. We had to unplug the refer every night, as it made a 'humming sound" that kept me awake. Also the first night the toilet ran every time you used it. My husband had to get his tools and fix it. I guess the repairman for the resort had no idea unless he used it himself. I never was able to get service on the internet, or even place a phone call while I was there. That was interesting, because just a few miles down the road to the North gate, I was able to get and receive calls. The restaurant at the Lodge (Buck Meadows) is adorable. The food was great, and the service excellent. We had breakfast, and I must say, I was tempted to have Joe's favorite, but i got a small order of hash browns with gravy on top, instead of a whole plate full. Anyway. It's well maintained and close to the entry into the park. You really can't go wrong. You just really need to like each other to get that tiny cabin. read more

We planned on staying here 3 nights over the 4th of July weekend. I have to say the website is a little misleading. We were super excited that the kids would be able swim during the afternoon after our visit to Yosemite. Nope!! No pool.. As stated on the website. This was one of the reason we picked this park. Seeing the weather in this spot in July is in the high 90's. We decided to head home a day early due to the weather being so hot and no pool. We asked the lady at the store for a refund for the one night. She stated she was unable to issue it and that the owner would be down at our site to talk with us. Next day... He finally comes up when were about to head out and would not issue a refund. But, stated he would if he filled our spot for the night. Doubt we will see it. The park was not full and very small spots. read more

RV Resort needs lots of work. Advertised wi fi is poor and cable tv doesn't work at all. Maybe one fuzzy channel. Asked a maintenance person about it and he said that's just the way it is. We were early in October so understand the season is over, but they really should have the camp store open a few hours a day and be stocked with basics. Sewage issues had raw refuse running down the street. Sites are very unleveled and the front ones are very close together with large logs requiring you to pull in precisely. It just doesn't feel like they care about the place. read more

A lovely place to stay, super convenient to Yosemite. We left SF a lot later than we wanted to, and with a three hour drive ahead of us, we knew we weren't going to make it for a ten pm check out. We called up the resort while on the road, and they made arrangements to leave our key in our cottage and check us in over the phone/make our payment. Our cottage was a cute little place to come home to during our 2 1/2 days at Yosemite. It was perfect. There was enough space for my fiance and friend to do their art, and the TV was there for me to zone out after long days of hiking. The distance from the park is also great- less than 30 minutes and you're at the Big Oak Flat Entrance. The cabin/cottage included everyting we needed to stay- dishes, cookware, linens, towels, some tolietries, toliet paper, dish soap. They are also equipped with ac and ceiling fans. The cabin we got slept up to six, which I booked with the pretense that we were to have two additional people joining us, but with three people it was roomy without feeling like we were taking up too little room. Fiance and I had the back bedroom, and it was very comfortable for us. My friend took the top bunk and had her stuff laid out on the bottom and we were able to keep the pull out folded up as a couch. there is also a grill and outdoor table. The store had a good amount of groceries, though we ended up buying most of ours in Yosemite. Huge plus- gas station at the resort!!! Fill up before you head into the park- SO MUCH cheaper. I am definitely recommending this place to anyone interested in staying at Yosemite, especially since it's near impossible to get anything in the park. I corresponded a fair amount with the owner Joe since we booked back in March, mainly with idiotic questions about the coffee maker and crap like that, and he answered my questions in a friendly and professional manner. read more

We had the privilege of camping with our trailer at Yosemite Ridge just last weekend and really enjoyed it. I'm glad we stayed here instead of the other RV site since this was waaaay nicer. All the sites are really nice, clean and organized with plenty of trees. Even though the place was full, it never felt crowded since everything was spread out surprisely for a small campground. We especially liked the mom & pops style and its so well maintained as you can tell they take pride in their campgrounds. It's great for multiple families get togethers since you can choose between cabin and RV sites. There's useable playground (not some abandoned ghetto site) for kids, roads to cruise on bikes and not to mention a general store with all amenities you might need. Also there's a short walking trail takes you to popular restaurant where we had breakfast. Additionally we had snafu with our truck hitch breaking during our trip. Since it broke over the weekend, no one was available to repair (it was really stressful calling around everywhere). However, the owner generously allowed us to park our trailer for the week on side lot which we were really grateful so we could properly get our truck fixed near home and not have to take time off work. This saved us a lot of stress and also money as he could easily have charged us a storage fee. We are glad we found this gem and plan to return next year. It might become our new family tradition. read more

We stayed here in our RV. Sites were gravel, fairly level. The staff was friendly and helpful. Not much struck me about this place but you know what they say... Location, Location, Location! Pretty easy in and out, enough space, hookups, etc. Bring your own fire pit. Plan to park your rig here, sleep, then get out into the wilderness! Come back for BBQ, cocktails and then some sleep. Get up and do it again. This place is just fine. I plan to come back! read more
