Bear boxes are incredibly small and the bears walking around are incredibly large. A campsite is for 6 people but the boxes are for 2-3ppl max.

Beautiful location, we loved it!

@DmitryN0825C6B · Camped on Aug 7, 2025 at Campsite #45B

Very well maintained campground, clean bathrooms and camp sites, great staff, perfect location too!

@JonettaH3AAEFE · Camped on Aug 4, 2025 at Campsite #22

Pit toilet bathrooms were nice, they surprisingly did NOT smell. Lived going to Yosemite Valley everyday but there are also lots of trails to hike along Tiago road. Would highly recommend staying at this campground.

Porcupine flat is an incredible campsite thats very foresty and quite secluded. 33 is a huge site and backs up to the forest. Would try to book here again. Also stayed in Tuolomne this trip and would pick Porcupine Flat over there. Especially if you have a camper and water is not an issue. Bathrooms, despite being pit toilets are well maintained and clean.

can park right next to the camp site which was very convenient. Can get cold even in the summer!

@BramB0DF5B3CF8 · Camped on Aug 1, 2025 at Campsite #1

Perfect spot, just before the Tioga pass. Quiet and friendly campers around our spot.

@RichardS712869 · Camped on Jul 30, 2025 at Campsite #25

Someone was in my site when we arrived

@NicoleL9328839 · Camped on Jul 27, 2025 at Campsite #51

Camp hosts were lovely and helpful! Bathrooms were quite clean compared to other campgrounds we've visited in the Sierras, and our site happened to be quieter and more secluded than most in the campground. My husband and I agreed that many of the sites here would be too close together for us to enjoy the experience, so pick your site carefully!

@HenryYCE60F757 · Camped on Jul 26, 2025 at Campsite #31

Enjoyed being away from crowded valley and close to Tenaya Lake (must see)Campsite, bathrooms decently clean.1 hr drive, 40miles to/from valley if you plan to go.

@IngridKE5E80E5 · Camped on Jul 24, 2025 at Campsite #18

Love Porc Flat - a welcoming, chill campground in proximity to North Dome, May Lake and all the Tioga Rd-based trailheads. Have stayed here several x. This season we had marmots in the tinder (playing around the trunks of trees each am and pm) and tons of wildflowers. Really great vibe. Hosts do a fab job maintaining it. It's a gem.

@EmilyF2405059 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #15

The campground hosts were so gregarious. They were helpful and kind. They said hi and loaned out equipment to anyone who needed it. I even saw someone borrow a tent from them. The campground was clean and the toilets were well maintained. I'd go back.

@CHENNINGC551B8 · Camped on Jul 19, 2025 at Campsite #1

This place is really comfortable and peaceful. Ill definitely come back next time!

@NirmalTF244F22 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #14

Absolutely loved our stay this summer. Camps are much more spread out. Greenery all around. Definitely will try in the future.

@Christoph81424 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #6

Great site with a stream nearby. Only one parking space.

@GavinSB9AD5E62 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #47

Beautiful hosts who were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area . Quiet clean the perfect bush retreat. We stayed 3 nights we could have stayed all month . Book a night you'll love it .

@BenediktGB064B · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #22

Great Campground to go to Tenaya Lake and Tuolumne Meadows

@OlgaK8772602 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #47

Site 47 was very quiet and spacious. The restrooms were clean. Its a short drive to Tenaya Lake and many climbing spots. Amazing experience.

@SigneS04D02207 · Camped on Oct 9, 2024 at Campsite #20

This campground has previously been one of my favorites, but not anymore. There was a loop in the back of the camp which I understand has been usurped by the Park Service for training events. To make up for the lost sites, it appeared to me that they added sites into already crowded loops, as is evident by some new tables and bear boxes.. The site I had was sandwiched between several other sites occupying a circular drive. It should have been OK, but the group of 6 next to me were loud and partied until 4AM with music and chanting. There is no Park presence there, and the host had left for the season 2 weeks back Just as I was packing up the next morning, a park employee came to investigate a "noise complaint", but the offending people had been long gone. So what should have been a peaceful night, was anything but.

@MaryV913191002 · Camped on Oct 9, 2024 at Campsite #9

Convenient spot but unfortunately the people next to us were up talking and laughing until 3 in the morning.

@ChrisS8694045 · Camped on Oct 3, 2024 at Campsite #12

Sites are nice enough. Not much room in some, some are pretty significantly sloped etc. Mine was very flat with room for maybe 3 tents. Parking is challenging depending on your site and vehicle type. Again my site was reasonable - just an observation. Sites are VERY close together (tighter than the Pines camps in the valley) so everything is audible. Road noise is not insignificant.I think the main payoff is proximity to all the fun stuff on Tioga. Its about 10 minutes to Tenaya Lake, 1 hour to Lee Vining on the other side of the pass etc. Scenery is absolutely amazing. Skies are nice and dark for stargazing. Tons of climbing and hiking opportunities abound. Campground population density could decrease by 50% and would be great but it is what it is.Camp hosts did not shut down loud guests playing music and employing multiple flood lights - just FYI.

@MartinS8630207 · Camped on Oct 1, 2024 at Campsite #15

We were looking forward to staying at the Porcupine Flat campground since we've generally found campgrounds without water to attract "better" campers; less noisy RVs and party people. The campground was quiet by 9pm and traffic on the nearby Tioga Road quiets down as the evening progresses.Unfortunately our site, #15, simply should not exist. It's very close to a neighboring site, is tiny if you've got a tent, and is situated in a spot where cars coming into about 1/3 of the sites shine their headlights directly at the site for about 100' of driving. Fortunately for us we were able to scout out the site the day before so we knew to minimize our time there - we set up camp at 6pm and left by 7am. Very glad we didn't book two nights as we'd originally planned.On the flip side, we discovered by wandering around the campground that sites further from the road are nicer; less traffic, further from neighboring sites, and just generally nicer sites.

Good stay

Faire la randonne qui amne North Dme

@Christoph81424 · Camped on Sep 28, 2024 at Campsite #1

Campsite is awesome! This site specifically is pretty spacious with two nice spots for tents. Even though it's the first spot it's still off the road. Decent space from the other sites too. Other parts of the campground are definitely packed more tightly together. 100% would recommend this campsite

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.
