Nice little spot. No issues.
@JoseA6158735 · Camped on Apr 17, 2026 at Campsite #14
Beautiful spot 40 minutes from the valley. Only negative is that the sites are a bit sloped.
@LiamM3655048 · Camped on Apr 17, 2026 at Campsite #21
Campsite was sliding down the hill. Water damage, not a flat spot to pitch a tent. Parking was full. Not what I was expecting for a walk in campsite.

This campground is about a 45 minute drive from Yosemite Valley, but we didnt mind because its so beautiful just to drive through the park. It was a bit crowded, but thats to be expected in Yosemite, and it was really not too bad when we stayed in April. Campsite #81 was near bathroom which was convenient, and wasnt stinky. Would stay again!

I have mix feelings about this camp I resorcin maps and pictures but cant really see a full filling of the place, but let me tell you this place is absolutely awesome no pictures can describe it first time I use it but will be one of my favorites excellent

We loved our stay at this campground. Site #18 was level and perfect for our 22 ft campervan. The only negative is the long drive to Yosemite village. Yosemite is now our favorite national park so it was still worth it.

Campground was great as an access point for Yosemite, it's approximately a ~45 min drive from the valley, shorter drive to Tioga road. Campground was spacious with generous sites. Sites are designated based on camping equipment (tent, RV/trailer). Some of the RV sites were not very level. Many of the tent sites were really nice, nestled in the trees away from the road. We stayed during the first come first serve period in early April. No problem finding a small RV site, even arriving in the afternoon on a Friday, and sites remained available through the weekend. Only complaint is that the only water spigots were at the 2 bathrooms. We were close to a bathroom so it wasn't a problem, but it would have been annoying if we were farther away from one.

Beautiful campgrounds and very clean restrooms the only thing I can complaint but cant do anything about it its the airplanes flying overhead all night
@BradW2662885 · Camped on Mar 30, 2026 at Campsite #1
Clean, quiet campground
@PamelaTCA673F3 · Camped on Mar 21, 2026 at Campsite #1
There should be soap for hand washing.

It was a great clean place, but payment system was internet base or cash. We got there late and didnt have cash. There was no reception to pay online. Even though it was written on a post that it was possible to pay offline, it was not. We camped there and expected to get help the day after by the camp host as it was the case for many other campgrounds in the area we stayed in before. Suprisingly in the morning while we were still sleeping in our tent we found ourselves in a situation that a park ranger was shouting at our tent asking we had to come out. I opened the tents zipper and faced a gun carrying police officer aiming his torch light to my face talking aggrecively asking for my ID and started asking questions from me and my partner. I explained the situation but still he was behaving like he was talking to criminals asking my partner if there was any restriction on her driving licence. She answered no but he could double check it. He said your face does not like those kind of people! I am not sure what was that answer, whatever it was it was not a professional police work. The whole conversation was odd and unfriendly and disturbing with unprofessional manner in a situation that was not necessary for him to even do police work. BTW I should mention that there was not any camp host or burning wood available to buy and for almost 200 campground there was just one toilet and drinking water faucet availabe far from many campgrounds. Anyway we enjoyed our stay and the campground and Yosemite was beautiful as always!

Great spot
@RagghavM646D7E · Camped on Oct 25, 2025 at Campsite #30
One of the best places to camp near Yosemite. Very well organised and maintained. Will surely recommend to go for a camping.

Facilities are great, but the sites are pretty much on top of each other, so if you have loud neighbors it can be a little rough

The rangers were friendly, the campsite (32) was in such a good spot, and having flushable toilets was so nice. Not a bad drive from everything in the rest of the park. Crane Flat gas station was only 8 miles away. Overall excellent time and will re-book in the future!

Campsite A was great it had everything from space, secluded from all other campsites, right next to the Amptheater, bathrooms near, 5 plus table , 5 Bear boxes, flat areas, 3 fire rings, sky view, great temperature for October. slightly far from the rest of Yosemite, near by waterfall 5 min car ride north, outside park. no cell phone service only once you get to some other campsites or on main road.
Major Issues
@SherwoodLFF60E · Camped on Oct 19, 2025 at Campsite #88
Campground is very near the west entrance to Yosemite but about 45 minutes from the valley. Sites are a little close to each other so privacy might be an issue for some. Quiet time is from 10pm to 7am but campground host came to us at around 6:30pm saying our dogs were barking excessively and also that it's getting late...at 6:30pm! We were camped right next to the restroom so naturally they would bark at people passing by but we're normally in bed by 8pm inside the camper so for him to say that is unreasonable.

@DavidD5028320 · Camped on Oct 19, 2025 at Campsite #94
Campground sites were very close to each other with little foliage. Location was good for entry point to the park.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
