Friends & Group Buyouts

Book a few Airstreams side by side, or the whole row.

The short answer

Friends & Group Buyouts at Mariposa Highlands let a small group book Airstreams side by side, or ask about the whole row, on our ridge in Coulterville, CA. Today the five Airstreams sleep up to 15 guests (3 each, queen + futon). Days are for Yosemite, hikes, the lake, and Pearl, Lola and Lemon at 9 AM; evenings are for grilling and sitting together around a propane fire pit (every site has its own). Parties or events are only allowed if you book out the entire property, and they still follow our guidelines. Minimum stays vary by unit and date; email mariposahighlands@gmail.com with your dates and group size for pricing.

How a group stay works

  1. Step 1

    Tell us your plans

    Send your dates, group size, and what you hope to do. Email us at mariposahighlands@gmail.com. We'll reply with availability and pricing.

  2. Step 2

    We match Airstreams

    We will offer Airstreams side by side, or the whole row if it is free.

  3. Your days

    Split up or go together

    Some head to Yosemite, some hike or ride from the door, some go to the lake. See Lake Days and Hiking Trails.

  4. Your evenings

    Grill and gather

    Each Airstream has a BBQ grill and its own outdoor space facing the sunset. Every site has its own propane fire pit, so gather around one, then keep it quiet after 10 PM.

Insider tips from the family

  • 01

    Book early for weekends

    Spring and fall weekends fill first. Inquire well ahead for the whole row.

  • 02

    Plan one group morning

    The free 9 AM visit with Pearl, Lola and Lemon is an easy thing to do together. See Meet the Highlanders.

  • 03

    Bring the cars

    We have plenty of parking, so no need to squeeze into one car.

  • 04

    Shop before you arrive

    Small local grocery stores are just a few minutes away, but we recommend a full shop in one of the bigger towns on your drive, like Merced, Turlock, or Modesto. Coming from the Mariposa side, Mariposa has a large grocery store, and Yosemite Valley has a grocery store too (a little more expensive).

Getting there

Mariposa Highlands is on Penon Blanco Road in Coulterville, CA, in the Sierra foothills between Lake McClure and Lake Don Pedro. We share the exact address after you book.

We are about 36 miles (roughly an hour) from Yosemite's Big Oak Flat entrance via Hwy 120.

The roads are paved asphalt all the way to us.
