Wonderful! Great site, right by the river. Clean bathrooms, didnt feel too crowded although the camp was full. It was our first camping experience and well do it again.

We stayed in Site 74 during the week of June 9th to 13th. It was lovely, even better than the photos. Right on the river, trees for shade, close to the dumpsters, & bathrooms (with flushing toilets!), took me less than 30 seconds to walk to the dumpsters, less than a minute walk to the bathrooms. Very quiet & peaceful.We camped in our 22 foot travel trailer and had our big truck with us. We had plenty of room. Needed leveling planks on the side facing the river because it is sloped a bit. We maneuvered so that our camper door faced the river. If you can back up a trailer you can do this easily. We had family next to us in Site 72. They had a 25 foot RV, plenty of room. Directly across from us is site 73, reserved for volunteers who were very helpful and answered our questions. The staff at the entrance to the campground are very helpful too. Our other family members were in site 66. They have a small travel trailer and truck, plenty of room However, this site is very exposed, no shade and faces east. Luckily they brought their easy-up and that along with their awning made it bearable. This site is between Site 72 and the bathrooms.The campground is within a mile or two of the market where we stopped several times for ice and basic groceries. It's also across the road from Wawona Meadow Loop Trail which is dog friendly and we hiked this trail twice, lots of shade!

Our site was right on the Merced river - cold to swim in, but beautiful. The campground has clean bathrooms with sinks and flush toilets. There are also a few water spigots around the campground. There is a nearby dump station with water fill-up if you have a camper/trailer. Staff are friendly and helpful. This campground is about an hour's drive from the valley. It is a scenic drive, but windy - take it slow if you are prone to motion sickness.

Nice, relatively small campground next to a river. Clean bathrooms.

3 nights in 3 different spots, they each got better. It was nice to be in front of the creek.
There was some bathing in the creek.........
No water or electric or dump station

So the campground bathrooms were closed and there wasn't any potable water, all due to renovations taking longer than expected. You had to drive about a mile up the road to get water and dump. Not that big of a deal, but usable bathrooms would make this an even better experience (again, we knew this ahead of time so we were prepared). We were warned via email multiple times that only self-contained rigs were allowed, and if you showed up with anything else it would be canceled and you would be turned away.
First, rangers arrive at 8am and leave promptly at 5pm.
All of this is noted because at roughly 5:30pm and well into the night, everyday, camper vans and small rigs (neither have bathrooms onboard) would roll into camp and find an open spot. They'd be up and gone by 7am. This happened every single night. I have no idea how these people knew the ranger schedule, but they did.
Our site, 74, was awesome. It was literally right on the river. It's a parallel site, not back-in, which is slightly unusual. In any event, we had a 28ft travel trailer with a bike rack on the back and a hitch... which made it more like 35 feet... plus our truck and we fit with about an inch to spare. Perfect.
Other than mosquitos, we loved absolutely everything about the site. Lots of space, trees and shade. It's drive to the valley, but worth being away from so many people.
We camp in Yosemite often and wouldn't mind camping here again.
