Drainage could be improved as large and deep puddles were formed at campsites, flooding some tents. I also think that the National Park Service needs to rehire its employees who were laid off to ensure the safety of its guests and staff as well as for the longevity of the Parks for future generations to come.

Great site! Is located really close to the restroom which was very with each flush. Site was flat and had multiple locations to pitch up a tent of multiple sizes. Nice beatbox with ample space. And more then enough space to park a large truck or even an RV

Close to the entrance but however best location are on the side. Campground was full but you do not feel crowded.

Great location! Spots are bit tight, but you kinda forget about that when you see the giant granite monsters surrounding you along with the beautiful greenery. River runs right by the site & a huge relief of the heat! Kids loved it. Do not go to Yosemite without bikes!! Necessary so you don’t wait in the endless lines for the 4 shuttles hustling ppl around. Parking is terrible, too! Bikes came in clutch!

it was very clean

nothing special about the campsite; the biggest problem was checking in; it took me over 1/2 hour with only 4 cars in front of me and this was early afternoon; then I left the site and came back late afternoon and it took me over an hour to get back through the gate again, not a very sensible way to do things

The camp hosts and rangers were excellent! The campground and facilities were well maintained. The lack of crowds due to the ticketed limited entrance was incredible!! Please do this forever... The controlled fire burns within the valley the week before Memorial Day weekend was irresponsible and borders on criminal. The air quality in the valley reached hazardous levels and it is yet to be seen if that poor judgment decision killed or seriously hurt visitors with asthma or COPD conditions. Overkill on COVID-19 and then do this?? What were you thinking? I am not saying these burns should not be done. I am saying that you cannot mix recreational visitors and hazardous air quality levels. Close the park if you must do burns. But please stop being irresponsible with people's health.

Our experience is always the same there is no place like Yosemite my whole family will choose no other place on earth but Yosemite to vacation. It’s the most enchanted place in our planet.

Unfortunately Mist Trail was still closed and sections of John Muir Trail were slippery from compact snow on 3/16. This week ( 3/23-24) hiked to upper Yosemite Fall and beyond Yosemite Point with great view of Half Dome and Clouds Rest. Except for couple sections were snow accumulated the trail was free of snow. At top of Upper Fall there was ~ 1 foot of snow.
