Yosemite Ridge Resort is located on State Highway 120, which is open all year and only 12 miles from Yosemite National Park’s west gate. We are located in Buck Meadows, population 50, within the beautiful Stanislaus National Forest surrounded by pine covered mountains. Since we are so close to the park, our lodging near Yosemite Park is the perfect base camp for your Yosemite Adventure, whether it be for one night or one week.
From San Francisco: Go East on Route 580 to Hwy 120 in Manteca. Stay on Hwy 120 to Groveland and continue another 11 miles east to Yosemite Ridge Resort. From the South: Go North on Hwy 99 to Merced and take J59 Northeast to Hwy 132 near LaGrange. Take Route 132 East to Hwy 120 and turn right. Yosemite Ridge Resort is about 4 miiles further East Hwy 120. From the North: Go South on Hwy 99 to Stockton and take Mariposa Road exit South to Hwy 120 in Escalon. Go East (left) on Hwy 120 to Groveland and continue another 11 miles east to Yosemite Ridge Resort.
This place is run down and not maintained. The bathrooms are dirty, plus we had to ask for toilet paper, twice! There are weeds and branches everywhere. The laundry hardly works. Tarps as roofing. The pool has a tree trunk in it. The WiFi is spotty. Paying $80 a night plus extra fees for my kids was a scam. We have stayed at cleaner and nicer national forest campgrounds than this place.
This place was amazing! The property is fairly large and they have sites for all kinds of campers. Winter time can be tough anywhere in the Sierras, so we really appreciate this place staying open and providing a unique experience to travelers. The restrooms were clean, showers had nice hot weather pressure (which is a plus in the winter), wifi worked well, and they even have a laundry room. The cabin I stayed in was comfy and cozy...just what was needed after a long day in the park. Furthermore, the staff were very helpful and friendly. I'll definitely be coming back on my next Yosemite trip. Thanks for a fantastic stay, guys!
Over the weekend I stayed at Yosemite Ridge. It's got this cozy and rustic vibe that fits right in with the nature. The rooms are pretty comfy and have all the stuff you need to chill out. The staff is friendly and helpful, which is a plus. Location is great, you're surrounded by amazing views and hiking trails. Def check out Yosemite Ridge.
The place is dump now. The owner Ron ruined the entire place. The grounds are dirty, the toilets are dirty, the cabins are dirty. There is no more store for supplies or snacks anymore. Why they hell would anyone want to buy antiques in the middle of nowhere? Do the place a favor Ron and sell the grounds to 1000 trials or Koa, companies that actually know how to run a camp site. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!!!
