Free Dispersed camping in the Stanislaus National Forest's Groveland Ranger District. First come -> First Camped. Reservations not accepted.
Stayed here 2 nights on a 3 day Yosemite trip. The aforementioned rocks are no longer blocking as I could tell. I turned down golden arrow road and went right and there were a few campsites. I imagine going further in either direction you could find a site. This is the best place to camp for free outside Yosemite. 5 mins to the entrance and 45 mins to the Yosemite valley. I would not look for camping on 140 as I couldn’t find any free options.
Quiet place but really cold
The exact shared position was closed and inaccessible but the surroundings were pretty quiet. We found a place next to it and we slept here all the night. No cowbells and there were also other cars staying the night. Only downside, it was very cold at night!!! (Marche 11th). Thanks for sharing this campsite!
Stayed here with a passenger vehicle and a tent. Romain would not stay here again.

Danger from dead falling trees
This campsite area was burnt several years ago during the Rim Fire. There are dead standing trees that fall without warning. You are taking a risk with your life if you stay here. I saw a huge, very tall pine tree fall while I was there at the campsite. The burnt trees have not been cleared, and over the years the dead trees are now starting to fall. The road is closed, because the bridge was burnt during the fire.
Sherrill hiked in and stayed here with a tent. Sherrill would not stay here again.

We've stayed there on may 24 and the road's closed. we could finally slept inside our car near there, at the very beginning of Hardin flat rd. But it was very noisy and unconfortable

We stayed at eastern part of Hardin Flat Road: we left Yosemite NP through Big Oak Park Entrance and then turn left into Hardin Flat Road on the first sign we saw (near to Evergreen Road). You can find many spots in the forest along the road. Please remember, no bear locks provided! Still the best place in this proximity of Yosemite NP.
Stayed here in a Passenger Vehicle. beatport would stay here again.

NO CAMPING! PRIVATE PROPERTY!
THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY... NO CAMPING!!
The area has been fully developed and there is no proper access to the site. We followed Google Maps to a dirt road off the back of a parking lot when we found the first access point blocked by construction equipment. The site indicated by the GPS coordinates is under development and it was obvious that we should not stay there. As we left, an irate caretaker told us to leave and not come back. There weren't any "No Trespassing" signs but the site is very clearly closed to camping. Other reviews have suggested that there are places nearby where you could get away with tent camping, but I wouldn't try it.
Stayed here in a 16 foot-long PopUp Trailer (RV). Metric would not stay here again.
