What Guests Are Saying

The Pines Group Stanislaus offers a beautiful and spacious group campsite with ample privacy, located just 45 minutes from the Yosemite entrance and close to Rainbow Pool. The site features plenty of shade and convenient amenities, including clean vault toilets and benches around the firepit. While it may be near a busy road and ranger training station, its proximity to attractions makes it a well-placed option for outdoor activities.
