The restrooms were unheated in the winter, so I took the shuttle use the restroom at Cuddy, which were heated.

We had a great time camping in the valley! Our hikes to Nevada Falls and Yosemite Point were amazing!

It seems ridiculous to me that I would drive 6 hours to go to one of the most beautiful (natural) places on the planet only to suffer air quality that is at least 10x worse than at my home in Los Angeles. It seems ridiculous to me that in these days of severe climate change, horribly destructive western fires, with all the damage and medical issues resulting from exposure to smoke and ash, you are still permitting campfires. The Park Service should step forward here and take the lead -- BAN WOOD FIRES in all national parks. It's especially egregious in Yosemite Valley, as the "bowl" (created by the surrounding granite wall) limits wind/air circulation and the smoke just hangs. If there is a slight breeze, and one's campsite happens to be adjacent to and downwind of a neighbor's fire, it's quite awful. Visitors who have had a history of lung/respiratory issues are at risk here, and for what? So luddites can make s'mores? So it's "fun" for pyromaniacs? Just say NO to fires in the forests. Smallest issue but still an unnecessary annoyance: We've been ventilating our camper for 5 straight days and it STILL has a residue odor of wood smoke.

This site has been a favorite of our family for quite some time. It is spacious and far enough from the other campers to have some privacy. The restrooms are clean.

Absolutely stunning, every time.

The bathroom was very dirty most of the time.

Just a well-kept, well-run campground. Sites on the outside of the loops are all pretty well-spaced and facilities are solid (only complaint is no soap in the bathrooms). They do a good job of education at check-in and things were very quiet. Overall very pleased with a beautiful stay in an absolutely amazing park.
