Always such an excellent time in the valley-difficult to get sites due to popularity-but always the best time. Me and my friends go every year and its so good to get together.

Small but easy to navigate. Near bathroom which is a plus. Easy access to trail to Happy Isles. Wonderful Camp hosts, and rangers

The only recommendations I have, are that I wish the campgrounds would sell firewood, provide soap in the restrooms, and allow for dish washing at the bathrooms. Yellowstone allows for dish washing at their restrooms, so Im not sure why Yosemite cannot provide that option as well. Having to wash your dishes at your campsite, and dispose of the grey water, is a pain. Other than that, the site was good. No complaints.

Its just hard to get the outside loop sites, other than that, great experience.

Our campsite was small and very close to our neighbors, but it was beautiful! We were so close to everything, including the free shuttle that takes you around the park. The campground was very busy but restrooms were kept clean. We brought our three kids and even though the campground was at capacity, we felt safe letting them ride the campground roads on their scooters. It was an incredible trip!

The older gentleman camp host was incredibly rude and condescending. First waving his hands in our faces telling us to hush because his cohort was trying to speak to him in their little office (we were simply answering his question of the specifics of our reservation). The following day we were patiently waiting in line to get back into the only entrance to the camp ground. When we were the next vehicle to proceed he threatened to give us a ticket for going thru the exit, which we didnt, we waited in the line of vehicles just like everyone else. Our stay was during the first week of November, the park and campground was relatively empty, no idea why this employee took it upon himself to conduct himself in such an unprofessional manner. Disheartening experience, especially since our visit this past Spring was so lovely we opted to come back this fall. Will reconsider where to camp next year because of this grouch.

It was great staying at this campsite, perfect location near Yosemite village and many trails! Will definitely be planning to camp here again

Excellent campground! This spot was nice for our pickup camper, level enough with just a little tweak. The fire pit and table were arranged well in proximity to the parking spot. Gorgeous view of one of the walls while sitting at the fire. Bathroom was very close. Fairly easy walk to Curry Village for beer and pizza. Very spotty cell service (Verizon). Enough to send a text message but not photos or data.
