This is an awesome campground if you are not wanting to day hike to half dome of clouds rest. It is very close to the river so you can go swimming, filter water or rinse your clothes. There are plenty of bear lockers to store your food. It was not noisy at all when I was there.

I had a great experience at the campgrounds. It was very clean. Plenty of space for you to camp and not be too close to other campers. There were plenty of bear boxes so no need to rent a bear canister if this is where you are staying. It's about a quarter of a mile away from a river to get drinking water. The bathrooms were pretty good considering they are composting toilets. They did not smell at all. They had toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Everyone was very respectful. At night you can see so many stars in the sky.

Great campground on the way to Half Dome. There are clean dry toilets, the river nearby to refill the water and go for a swim after a long day of hiking, shared bear boxes across multiple sites. As many other campsites in the Sierra, the soil was dry and dusty. It can get crowded. There were probably 50 people camping there. We left our tent pitched and our gear at the site for the day while hiking. I think it’s pretty safe as long as you leave your food and toiletries in the bear bin. During our 2 day trip, we met one ranger who asked for our permit.

Best place to camp overnight before hiking to half-dome the next day. Easy access to water and an outhouse with toilets (no running water). Seemingly 30-40 independent camp sites marked by cut down trees, all with bear lockers. 2 communal fire pits. Next time I do Half dome I’ll definitely be staying here again!

Overnight here for our half dome sunrise hike! Love this campground! Very quiet. Filtering water from the river is so refreshing. The toilets are well maintained. The directions past vernal falls are confusing as we went to the wrong way. Look for the sign for “little Yosemite” instead of “Yosemite valley”! 😅
