Camping and Fishing near Yosemite - Dimond O Campground
/Dimond O Campground
Dimond O, hidden away in the rugged splendor of the high Sierra back country, is a perfect getaway destination for a family vacation or a weekend escape. The Middle Fork of the Tuolumne River gently bends around Dimond O, beckoning anglers to test their skills for the abundant stock of rainbow trout and the elusive native German brown trout. The Middle Fork is stocked regularly and fishermen are almost always assured of catching their limit. Dimond O is just minutes away from Yosemite National Park and Hetch-Hetchy Reservoir Recreation Area and serves as an excellent base camp for those two locations as well.
