Small Site very close to bathroom. Not really meant for tent camping, but could be done. We mostly parked there and had another site we used to gather in...one small camper used in this site. All was well maintained and the bathrooms were very well kept.

Stunning views and friendly rangers and hosts. Being able to take all the hikes from my campground was so convenient. My specific site 40 was right next to the bathroom and shady during the day. Amazing experience

Beautiful campground close to hiking trails, river and amenities.

We still love camping in the Valley but the reservation system has become a nightmare of frustrations, moving sites every morning, parking and reparking.

Great location, central to everything! Bring a bicycle if you can!

Great view of the surrounding mountains. Well kept and clean for a camp ground.

The campground is great! Lots of shade, flushing toilets and water in the bathrooms, a quick walk to Curry Village and trailheads. Our only issue was that we had to book three different campsites for a four might stay, even booking six months out. It wasn’t terrible, but we had to figure out where to park our vehicle and stash our food in communal bear bins for early morning starts when we needed to switch campsites. Also, campground was “full”, but there were at least 10 or more sites unoccupied every night we were there.

Thank you for the hard working snow crew at Yosemite!
Happy to have been able to experience the last couple days of my reservation despite the large influx of snow
