As good as it was we had difficulty in the rest rooms. The light sensors didnt workin the restrooms. Motion turns the light on but the light goes off and its dark and wont turn on again. Very annoying. They need to be replaced or a different system is needed.

A great location just outside of Yosemite National Park East side after Tioga Pass around Mamoth Lakes

The campsite was beautiful! Unfortunately, that is where the positives end. The campground hosts were lazy and inefficient:
1. Bathrooms were dirty and the lights in the bathroom were semi-functional. For example, in the middle of using the facilities the lights would turn off and it was pitch black.
2. A member of our group went to buy firewood from the hosts and they knocked on their camper door for a few minutes, could see they were in there watching television but nobody came to the door to assist. The host even turned and looked toward the door indicating they heard him knocking. When the member of our group later discussed the issue with the host, the host became confrontational and insinuated the person was lying.
3. There was a very large group in the area that had approx 40 people in their campsite until after 10:00 pm cursing and yelling. No intervention from the hosts to ensure the site adhered to campground rules.
4. There were vehicles and motorcycles driving around playing loud music and driving the wrong way on the one way road. There was no rule enforcement or intervention from the campground host. Another campsite confronted the individuals driving the wrong way and a fight almost ensued, campground hosts did nothing.
5. Dogs left unattended and barking nonstop outside their trailer when they left the campsite for half the day and the campground host, again, did nothing. Later that night the one of the dogs, off leash and roaming free, went running through our campsite.
6. Cars and trucks parked in non-designated areas at all hours. This occurred to the point where the trash truck came one morning and had to honk its horn until one of the campers came to move his truck that was blocking the trash dumpster. When the campground hosts were informed they had no idea that the cars had been parked in undesignated areas, despite the fact it is their job to patrol the campground frequently and have a clear understanding of what's occurring in their camp
