Nice view on mountains. Campsite was close to other campsites. Not much privacy.

We stayed at site 509 for about a week and while all campsites seem crammed together in this campground, it was amazing to view Half Dome and Yosemite Falls right from our campsite w/ the Merced River flowing right by us. We saw a bear waltz toward campsites near us around Noon during one of our days there. Everyone scared it off by shouting. The rangers were there in a heartbeat to take a report. It was kind of neat, but it also reminded us why we have to be so cautious by storing food/toiletries in bear bins and disposing waste water. Speaking of which, they have a waste water disposal area at the bathrooms. There are no showers at this campground, but the camp host let us know that you can get showers for $5 at Curry Village (nearby). This campground has flushing toilets and that's a big deal to some people in my group. It also has hydration stations and a place to get potable water. This came in handy. We walked to the famous Mist Trail Trailhead, which was about a mile away from this campground - huge bonus. I recommend not taking the street to the Mist Trail, but taking the trail that follows the river. The waterfalls were all still booming as of late July 2023 and the mosquitos were not that bad at all, but we still used bug spray at times during our trip. What an epic year and an awesome campground!

Camped right by the Merced river and the view I had was of Half Dome. What else could you ask for. The campground is nothing special, place to park, fireplace and access to a clean bathroom. But let’s be honest, anywhere in the valley is natures wonderland. I appreciated have a place to camp.

This was an awesome campsite, views of Half Dome on one side, and the Merced River on the other.
