The most magical campsite! Being surrounded by the trees, looking up at the mountains; just the best. People were respectful, the volunteer who checked us in was so nice, and bathrooms were clean. What else can you ask for. Cant wait to book again!

Great site and hosts! The hosts were close to our site (50 and 52 at the time of writing this) and were friendly and helpful. It was very clean and was overall a great experience. Good proximity to hiking trails and the curry village. The site was big enough to put our 21 trailer and truck next to each other with enough room to open and close our doors. There was a shuttle stop a close distance away, which made it convenient to get around. There isnt much foliage between campsites, but distance between them was good, so privacy was alright. More than enough room to have multiple tents, if thats what you want. Bathroom was super close, take it as good or bad, though it didnt have soap, so plan to bring your own. There was a water dump station, water bottler filler, and water spigot at the bathrooms which made doing dishes easy, though you have to them at your site. Bathrooms were clean and often empty. Overall a great experience without complaints, one of the nicest campgrounds Ive stayed in. Hopefully will be coming backing in the future!

The bathrooms were a bit rough and were showing their age. Some of the toilets were difficult to flush. The NPS uses the world's thinnest toilet paper; it tears easily and there were many shreds of toilet paper in the bathrooms. It looked sloppy.

It was excellent...except for the campfire smoke. The smoke hangs in the valley and gets into everything, including your car ventilation. Yosemite national park needs to do something about the out of control campfire activity in their campgrounds. The air quality is a health risk.

Firefall is amazing. So glad not all campgrounds are open keeping crowds manageable

The ranger at the check in booth, was so sweet and welcoming. The new dump station is awesome! All the working that is happening in Yosemite seems so positive and wonderful. I am grateful to be able to visit year after year.

A spectacular location here. We had ~36F and snow, so the ground was covered in "slush" - I am very glad we weren't one of the unlucky souls camping in a tent!The access to all the Yosemite sights via shuttle bus was great. Facilities & availability of bins etc were very good, and the rangers all friendly.

Nos atendieron fenomenal en la oficina de reservas y pudimos hacer la nuestra en ese momento ya que haba habido una baja de ltima hora. La experiencia fue inolvidable para la familia, muy agracecidos.

The campsite we stayed in was spacious and close to the restrooms. It was easy to get to the campsite and it is well maintained.

There was not vigilance regarding generator use times. We found generators running two hours past stop time.

Fantastic Autumn trip in Yosemite. Fresh snow, loads of rain and beautiful beautiful rivers and falls. A rare combination in October.

There I could see Half Dome through the trees. You can walk to Currie Valley. The site was spacious. You will have a wonderful experience.

Great campsite, lots of space, and nice bathrooms. Did the Mist Trail hike right from camp, which was awesome!

It was comfortable and welcoming. It was accessible to the trash cans and bathrooms. The mirror lake hike, lower Yosemite falls, and cook meadows I suggest. And it’s nice to have a store to go to if you run outta supplies
Good

Air was horribly bad from all the campfires.
