Great campsite at the end of the tamarack road! Close to bathroom and the the massive rock formation

Nice and clean place
@Catherine66F0C · Camped on Oct 6, 2025 at Campsite #25
a very plaisant site in the middle of the wilderness
@JohnO9176954 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #25
A good site but important to bring along water.
@KatherineG5078 · Camped on Sep 27, 2025 at Campsite #2
Beautiful remote location, site was spacious although it was hard to find a flat spot for he tent. Hardly any water in the creek in late September. No cell service.

This campground was the most amazing "tucked away" gem. I loved the space the cleanliness and the central location of the campground in relation to the park. I'm so grateful for the "bear lockers" that are provided. The spots were perfect size for my needs. Thank you for the amazing experience Yosemite.

3 mile drive to campsite will take you 20 minutes on a one lane paved road. No big rigs allowed due to the curvy nature of the road. It is pitch dark there at night, make sure you have a light to go to the out house. Outhouse was clean and had TP. We arrived after hours and site was a little confusing to find as they have random little pockets of sites and no signs to direct you to site numbers. You are right next to your neighbors in most spots, no privacy. There was a fire pit, bear box and picnic table.

First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the Rangers and maintenance staff of the park, especially the two Rangers and maintenance personnel who tirelessly juggle three jobs due to budget cuts. Your dedication is truly inspiring!This campground on Toga Pass Road stands out as one of my favorites. Its not a party campground; its a sanctuary for seasonal campers seeking solitude. Isnt that the essence of camping? Leaving the chaos of the city behind and finding peace in nature.The campground shines with cleanliness and care, even without a camp host, reflecting the unwavering commitment of the park staff.

Campsite was as advertised. Pit toilets, no potable water and long narrow winding road to get to the campsite. Site 3 was awesome, large, private and the bear box was clean and a nice size to fit my cooler, food and camp cook box. Campsite was quiet and peaceful for the 4 nights I was there. Will definitely camp here again.

I loved this campsite! It's more remote and primitive than many of the other group campsites, which I really appreciated. Still close enough to the village for easy access to trailheads and all the activities the valley offers, but also (relatively) close to the Tuolome area _ a great day adventure to see more of the park as possible along Tioga Road. At night, the stars were beautiful, and I still got the sense of solitude in the woods that I appreciate in a camping trip. There were restrooms and bear lockers, and no huge RVs. We arrived at night after a series of flight delays and got very turned around trying to find our actual site, but it all makes sense in the light of day. As long as you've packed in your water, you'll have a great time!!

Our campsite was so beautiful and right on Tioga Road. The drive to the campgrounds are paved and you get beautiful views. There is even a little hiking trail surrounding the campsite with granite rocks everywhere.
@LuisM2988159 · Camped on Aug 23, 2025 at Campsite #11
Site 11.Great private, spacious campsite.I would recommend. Next to creek. Can fit 3 tents easily. Restrooms a bit far.
@BrodyJ93B97912 · Camped on Aug 16, 2025 at Campsite #50
Nice site, with some cool big boulders around it. Good location towards the front entrance. The only downside was being so close to the restroom, we got a few whiffs of it.
@AlmaM58051D07F · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #50
My daughter loved the area and big rocks around our campsite. Accessible to Tuolemne Meadows.
@CashLB9CAFC2E2 · Camped on Aug 7, 2025 at Campsite #49
Great campsite. We couldnt have a wood fire because of fire restrictions and theres no water so thats why its not five stars. Otherwise, awesome place to camp.
@KenH4960616 · Camped on Aug 7, 2025 at Campsite #20
Great. I really like that there are no campfires. I'd rather smell the Jeffery Pines, not smoke from camp fires.
@Alexander99768 · Camped on Aug 6, 2025 at Campsite #39
Lovely and remote, with large private areas
@AltanTBEF7A265 · Camped on Aug 5, 2025 at Campsite #8
A really lovely camping experience! Camped at campsite 8, which is right next to campsite 7, so you will have neighbors. Also, be sure to check the map to see how close this campsite is to your desired activities - we had to drive quite a bit to reach this campsite, and ended up cooking our dinner and setting up in the dark. Vault toilets were well-maintained, and there wasn't anyone to greet us at the entrance of the campsite, but we found the site just fine. No potable water!
@NicholasS29081 · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #7
Sloped sites
@PeterG8163131 · Camped on Aug 2, 2025 at Campsite #11
Beautiful sites and wonderful rangers. Come prepared for cold cold nights and youre all set!
@LeslieO2911863 · Camped on Jul 28, 2025 at Campsite #14
Stayed at site 14, quiet and spaced out. not sure if the only available parking place was on our site or not. People would walk through our site to get to the rock playground as my kiddos called it. We loved climbing them and exploring.
@michaelk687828 · Camped on Jul 27, 2025 at Campsite #44
ok site but we had two problems - 1)Upon arrival we learned there was a no fire rule in place that was NOT mentioned anywhere on recreation.gov 2)The nearby sites were supposed to be 4 people max but were occupied by large and loud groups
@JakeP3466535 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #20
Had a very great time at Yosemite and this was a good base camp. Campsite is secluded and there is access to the creek if you walk across a big log. Close to the bathrooms which has its pros and cons (close at night but sometimes smelly). Saw some deer from camp. Lots of mosquitos so be prepared!
@Catherine93509 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #9
Very nice campsite. As usual groups noisy, but quiet by quiet hours
@JennA8812447 · Camped on Jul 19, 2025 at Campsite #31
Vault toilets in great condition. Some sites are much more separated and shaded than others

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.

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.
