Camp site is always great. Potable water is always available and Park Rangers are always on top of their game. Sadly bikes rentals are only available on spring and summer but thatll be another reason to come back. Always come back

Great campground with spectacular views of all the mountains, insanely beautiful to see them during both sunrise and sunset as a source of inspiration. Amazing trails near this campground which are walking distance away. Campfires allowed on this campground which is amazing for cooking stuff while staying here. Cell service was not the best here but would improve when near the bathrooms. Bring your own hand soap if you care about that kind of thing because there is none in the restrooms at this campground.

Winter camping in Yosemite (mid-March). Great site and location. It is one of their smaller sites (18ft length maximum I believe), but faces towards a meadow, so no immediate neighbors in that direction. A bit lively during the day, but quiet during official quiet hours. Water spigots are shut off during the winter, so water needs to be procured elsewhere.

Sites very small and some people did not respect the noise timelines which was frustrating to hear generators going at 6 in the morning in such a beautiful setting. Great location. Bathrooms have no soap which seemed odd.

Great site. Fun meeting the campground volunteers from Mission Viejo cleaning fire pits!

The campground is very crowd with limited privacy. During the dinner time, fire smoke and barbeque smells are strong due to the location at bottom of the valley and in the middle of dense forest. We were struggling to book only one night at site #011, which was luckily located at norther edge area. All site is pretty flat without need to level our RV. One toilet within each loop and clean. Water tank refill and waste water discharge station is close to entrance conveniently. In general, it is a GOOD facility with high competitiveness to book due to precious location inside of the Valley. So, the value of the location is very much justifiable to any other minor issues. However, if I come next time, I would rather stay in Diamond-O near Hetch Hetch.

Loved the snow and the space. The Rangers were great! We checked in after hours and they came the next morning to check us in. Even though it was winter and surprisingly packed, it still felt quiet and private. Overall- had a great experience.

Our campsite was great! Plenty of space with great hammock if trees. I would come back in a heart beat. We could easily see the people in the campsites around us, but the sites were large enough that’s you didn’t feel crowded. Cell coverage is limited at the campground, but T-Mobile and Verizon both get better reception as you get closer the the village.

This site was nice. On the edge of the campgrounds, which are big and somewhat densely packed, so we felt like we had our own little space without being too far from the bathrooms. Some of the firepits have a grill grate that is locked in place; ours swiveled over the fire and out of the way, which was great. The site is a little farther from the Mist Trail and Mirror Lake trailheads, but what's a little extra walk in Yosemite Valley? It's also a short walk to Curry Village, which has food options, a shower house, a mountaineer shop (closed currently due to COVID), and several bouldering problems.
Also, the rangers who checked our site every day were firm when one of our cars was parked improperly (expected), and flexible when we jumped to move it (appreciated!).

Great spot!!!

Campground was quiet and especially peaceful by day, when everyone is off exploring of course. Views of half dome were a wonderful surprise, as well as easy river and trail access. Will definitely be back. Don’t forget to bring your own soap to the restroom, and no showers. Very pleasant park rangers.

My campsite was fine, #11, although when I returned in the evening to go to sleep at about 8 pm, the small camper next to me had a loud generator running. I was not happy and there was no one in the entrance booth to talk with about it. I go to Yosemite to enjoy the quiet beauty, not to hear a generator.

Everything was great! Love Yosemite at any time of the year!
