What an amazing campsite, this was my first time doing a first come first serve campground and I was pretty nervous about getting a site because all of the other reservation based campgrounds in the area were booked up for the weekend. We arrived on a Thursday at the end of August and got site 8 which had a view of the river. My only suggestion would be to not pick a site that is super close to the bathroom just because it was a little bit stinky when the wind changed directions💩 they have vault toilets that were surprisingly less stinky inside than out. It’s $30 a night but you really can’t beat having the river so close by

Picture perfect campground nestled at the base of the road that leads up to the entrance of Yosemite (30 min drive) Fishing was plentiful with lots of nice spots if that’s your thing Mammoth lakes around 40 minutes away

My all time favorite place to camp. You can't beat camping under the stars, and listening to the creek as you fall asleep.

Bathrooms clean. Potable water. No showers. First come first serve. Pay cash. Firewood at the host across from the camp.
