This campsite is at the North entrance to the park, which is great, because it saves you from towing a trailer through the park to the valley. The downside is that it is 30 minutes from the valley. The park was nice and quiet and there was plenty of wildlife around. We arrived mid-afternoon and were greeted by a big, white tailed deer, who just ambled along her way as if we were just a minor nuisance in her world. There are regular bathrooms, which was nice. We visited in winter, in mid-February, and the park is spectacular at this time of year. It's the time of year for Fire Fall, which is where Horsetail Falls is backlit by the sun at sunset and looks like lava flowing. It's truly an amazing site. We got to glimpse it as we drove into the park at sunset, which saved us the 2-3 hour commitment it takes to walk to the viewing sites. You also must see Bridal Veil falls and of course Yosemite Falls. If you get a chance, do the 2 hour hike to the Mariposa Grove of Sequoias at the South end of the park.

The terrain is quite steep and there are few flat spots for a camper or tent. There are no water spigots close to the road - so it's difficult to put water in an RV tank. There is no cell coverage there. Most of the tent sites involve a steep hike from your car

Beautiful campground. We stayed before Big Oak Flat road opened for the season and it was full, but didn't feel crowded. Hiked to Hetch Hetchy waterfalls, which was beautiful and good for kids.

Sorry to rate this as poor. There should be a "N/A" option. Issue was that the campground was inaccessable. Barricades on the road near Crane Flat and missinformation on how / or if there was a way to get there. We backtracked and stayed in valley and had a great time with amazing waterfalls and rivers although it was a deal more expensive than the campsite rate.

Rangers were friendly and offered great recommendations. Bathrooms were clean and well kept. Camp site was clean and well kept. All in all a great experience!
