Excellent starting point for exploring Yosemite Valley (you can use the shuttle to get around); walking distance to Curry Village with restaurants and showers. Level campsite for the RV but campsites are relatively close together.

Site 83 is bathroom adjacent. There are trees nearby so it has afternoon shade.

Great location in the valley. More strict on campfires and other things as opposed to the outer campsites. Preferred Hodgdon Meadows.

Amazing campground in the middle of Yosemite Valley

Campground is overall great but location was too close to the restroom. Food safety box is very far away from the table and location is in the middle of the path to go the restroom we had multiple people walking very close to our tent in the middle of the night.

This spot is right near bathrooms which can be good and bad. People coming through your site at all hours to use the bathrooms. Was middle site so a lot of Noice. I definitely prefer the other camp grounds for peace and quiet

This campsite in particular is very close to the restrooms. The paved pad was pretty level for our van. The campsites are in very close proximity to one another with not much trees separating the campsites . Our neighbors fire pit /bear box was less than 15 feet away . Generators from other neighbors are allowed to run 7-9am, 12-2pm, and 5-7pm. The first few nights we had several neighbors with large trailers and generators so it was quite loud. One party ran it at 4am . Restrooms were good cleaned daily . Flushing toilets and cold water only sinks . Clean water fill station as well. Otherwise, the park rangers were helpful and nice. Be careful of the ravens here they will pick through plastic bags or anything you leave out.

Staying here was an awesome experience. You can use the shuttle bus from here. I went to Nevada Falls and it was a truly dizzying sight.

Weather was great. Seems that some can park on dirt, yet others get busted

It was a winter wonderland. We had the best weekend hiking in the snow around the valley. It was beautiful out. Can’t wait to return.

Overall a beautiful park but, rangers are very strict this year and we were warned multiple times for noise violations when we strictly obeyed the rules as posted. Odd.
