Welcome to the 4th annual Groveland Grind produced by the Groveland Trail Heads Mountain Bike Club. The Groveland Grind is a Yosemite Area Adventure Ride on mixed terrain (pavement, broken pavement, dirt and gravel) neighboring Yosemite National Park's doorstep, in which riders will have three amazing routes with amazing views to choose from: "The Rumble up Trumbull" (48 miles), a gorgeous 30-mile Medium Route, and a 21-mile Short Route, all within the majestic Stanislaus National Forest.

The staging for the event will originate at Yosemite Lakes RV Resort and Campground in Groveland. Only 5 miles from the "Big Oak Flat" entrance to Yosemite National Park, next to the South Fork of the Tuolumne River! Camping is available for tents, vans, RV's and trailers. Stay tuned for more info about camping and weekend experience for all riders, crews, and families. 

The Groveland Grind supports the Groveland Trail Heads and their development of a mountain bike specific trail system, promoting health, adventure and economic development throughout the Groveland area.

Camp & Ride with other Grinders!

Hey Riders!

There is nothing better than waking up on ride day and being at the start line. And, how about sleeping at the finish line after celebrating your ride with your new friends you just rode with on the trails. We have confirmed 50 Camping spots and 15 RV Spots for our riders. They will sell out. The time is now to reserve your spot. We promise that being 15 minutes away from the Yosemite entrance in June will impact the rest of the area surrounding our event. This makes this one of the most important decisions you need to make before the event. Unless you are local, plan on driving from your house or paying a premium to be at least 25 minutes to an hour away from the start & finish lines. Below are the key points.

  • CAMPING AVAILABLE near the Start and Finish Line: "Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes"
  • All reservations will be done through Thousand Trails NOW. All spots will be assigned Friday June 7th on a first-come-first serve basis when you arrive.
  • Join other riders and the Groveland Trail Heads for a weekend of fun at this amazing Camping & RV Resort.
  • Cool your legs off in the river less than 150 feet from your camp spot.
  • Amazing Showers and Bathrooms. Other amenities include minigolf, volleyball, basketball, billiards, horseshoes, shuffleboard and more..
  • You must have registered for the Groveland Grind before making a camping reservation.
  • You are limited to two cars per reservation.
  • We hope you stay both nights to enjoy this family friendly camping resort.
  • Friday Check-in is at 2:00pm
  • If you are only camping Friday Night, we ask that you are packed up and out by Noon on Saturday.
  • If you are only camping Saturday Night, you will be able to set up at 12:01pm.
To reserve a camping or trailer spot for Friday and/or Saturday Nights you will email our Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes,
please contact Amber Kiddy at the following email address: Amber_Kiddy@equitylifestyle.com
