We had a walk in campsite (#66). Be aware that these campsites are very close together. Our tent was mere feet from other tents. There was shade and a level place for our tent, as well as trees for hammocks. The sites behind us were smaller and sloped off pretty quickly. We only slept here and then were gone all day adventuring in Yosemite, so we didn't mind the closeness except for lack of privacy and noise. Bring ear plugs! The potable water spigot was really high and you had to hold your water jug up at an awkward angle to fill. Recommend a wheeled cart for water transport, since the bathroom is in the center of several sites, not accessible by car. Also recommend a kitchen sink/plastic container, since they don't allow washing of dishes at the bathroom and you have to transport gray water back to the flush/drain at the bathroom. Temps were very comfortable in early July (90 in Yosemite Valley vs low 50's at night at Hodgdon Campground). Definitely bring warm layers.

Unfortunately, this time the National Park made a sad impression. We saw a lot of burnt trees that were not being removed. At the campsite we were lucky that next to the rented site there was a toilet with a place for washing and washing hands. Not everyone is so lucky. Some parts only had a toilet. This is very inconvenient if you stay for several days. In addition, there are also a lot of fallen trees on the campsite that lie and rot. I was very sad to see the National Park in such an unsightly state.

The bathroom facilities need to be more and showers would be nice to have. Also firewood onsite even to pay for would be nice. The onsite camp host lady in the truck camper was awesome. It is definitely time to upgrade the facilities. There are not enough of them for the size of the campground that is always full and everyone is in need as they are all tenting.

Awesome campsite. I think this is better than being in the valley because it is less crowded and good to be with a group and have your space with no large amounts of traffic or tourist groups. the bear boxes are very large. If you want to do a hike, just make sure you leave early to get a good parking spot in the valley. October was a great time to visit yosemite. I miss it already

My brother had never visited Yosemite National Park before, except for a drive through of the Yosemite Valley in 1978! I am a volunteer at the Yosemite Conservation Heritage Center in Yosemite Valley, and I wanted to show him the great places that I have visited during my 13 years of service. The campground was ok, except that there were six sites closely squeezed together (so it would be good to be friendly with your neighbors). We enjoyed the trail from the Group Campground area down to the Hodgdon Meadow (which is a beautiful area just east of the camp). We visited Hetch Hetchy, the Valley including Happy Isles, Yosemite Falls, and Mirror Lake. We stopped at the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias on the way back to Oakhurst. An epic adventure! The highway (Rt. 120) from our camp to the Valley was closed for repairs, making it a lot longer trip to the Valley. Even so, we enjoyed the journey through Mariposa and Coulterville taking Hwy. 49 to the west and north.
