Truly excellent experience. Basic but clean and easily accessible flushing toilets, drinking water, RV water refill stations and grey waste drainage. Beautiful views of the valley sides, especially at sunset when the light hits them. Able to see climbers lights on the cliff sides at night. 10 minute walk to curry village - great pizza place and bar. 15 min drive to House Keeping camp for laundry and showers. 5 minutes shuttle to mist trail. 20 mins to Yosemite falls trails. Free shuttle was super easy. Good fire pit. From the UK and not used to using bear boxes. Didn't bring an icebox in early May. Hot days, but food kept pretty well in there so may not need one unless you want things super chilled.

Great campsite. Cold night, warm bathroom with tp. Can't ask for anything more in a national park campsite.

Great campground! Helpful rangers and guest hosts. Bathrooms take a beating but are adequate. Nearest showers available were at Camp Curry, $5 charge. Used to be $2 for 25 years. Was 150% increase really necessary? Also, the Camp Curry swimming pool was closed. That was always something our children and us looked forward to after a long day in the mountains. Please get that pool reopened. I know a lot of guests at Curry and housekeeping look forward to that amenity. Other than that, Yosemite is an awesomely beautiful and timeless place, a must visit for everyone at least once.

great site, close to bathrooms and no neighbors behind, you can see the falls and half dome from the site and has a nice raised tent platform. we had a campervan and two tents and was very comfortable.

We were fortunate to be able to rebook here after our reservation was initially cancelled due to anticipated flood conditions in the valley. Recreation.gov was very prompt in processing the refund, as well as allowing us to rebook the next day once conditions improved and the campground reopened. It turned out the campground was only about 20% occupied due to the initial closing, so we enjoyed relative quiet. It was unfortunate that a water problem left the tap water unpotable during our stay but we were able to get water from other nearby sources. Our site was level for our camper van. It also had a raised tent pad which was nice too.

Great Camping. Bathroom facility was very well kept and cleaned. Due to Covid many sites were unoccupied even though all the sites were booked.
