Campsite was really close to Yosemite entrance, campgrounds were really clean and well kept. We would love to stay here again
We loved the quick bike ride to visit evergreen lodge just over the hill.
Did not find the camp host particularly helpful, although they did keep the grounds very nice. They ran their loud generator from afternoon until 930 at night. Felt rude due to so many tent campers.
There is no where to top off RV water or dump your waste water anywhere near the camp, so come prepared.
The site was a double site so it had room for 2 large tents (one on each side). and big parking area. Our tent was 16' x 10' and fit. It was all very flat. There were 2 bear boxes which easily could have fit multiple coolers in each. The bathrooms were cleaned each day so were as clean as you could expect for no flush toilets. No sinks. Just a couple water spigots spaced throughout camp.
No issues with bears but heard there haven't been issues in the area since the rim fire. We were allowed fires in the firepit. Fire wood could be purchased from either of 2 camp managers on site for $8. Only a few wasps around when we started cooking but very manageable compared to another campsite I visited recently. Didnt feel the need to setup the mesh tent we brought.
Located 15 minutes from Big Oak Yosemite gate or about an hour to Yosemite Valley. Closer to Hetch Hetchy gate but didn't head that way ourselves.
It’s secluded, away from road noise and the river’s flow and swimming hole is a very short stroll away- some sites have the river right behind them. Not to mention that the camp hosts are fabulous. There’s a lot of attention that goes into keeping the grounds well kept and clean.
We also appreciated being only three miles away from Hetch Hetchy, too. It is a part of Yosemite that does not receive many visitor’s and to take in what used to be there (It was John Muir’s favorite valley), is a trip in itself.
Treat yourself and stay at Dimond O, you won’t regret it!
