I was excited to stay at Tuolumne Meadows Campground after an extensive renovation. It's beautiful spot and well placed to visit many of my favorite spots. I live in Phoenix, so getting into that mountain environment after a long, hot summer was so refreshing. My only complaint was the placement of the bathrooms. The bathrooms were like a quarter mile from my campsite.

Rangers were very nice and helpful. Location is outstanding. Creek running through is gorgeous. 65% of bathrooms are really nice. No showers, but that’s ok. Camp sites vary in size- definitely not all equal; also fine but fyi. Had a great stay.

Beautiful campground with access to the best part of Yosemite and the high country! The campsites were great, the washrooms were so clean and had flush toilets, no showers. We had a really noisy neighbor made noise the whole night until 12am and got really frustrating. The second night we had a lovely cold couple who were really respectful and quiet. Would love to camp here again! Absolutely well maintained spots and so close to some of the best trails

Newly renovated after a 3-years closure. All sites have new fire pits, tables and benches, and what seems like slightly larger bear boxes. The restrooms are also renovated but don't have any new features.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if they had showers. Sites are decent and the campground is quiet. Restrooms with flush toilets were clean. Each area has a water spigot. 👍🏼👍🏼

Awesome campsite with plenty of amenities. River/creek runs through it and a number of cool trails start right in the campground. Very close to the Eastern entrance of the park. About 1.5 hours drive from Yosemite Valley.

Beautiful views. Get there early to avoid the crowds and to see Der and other wildlife. Only drawback right now is that the Visitor Center is closed and most of the parking lots for remodeling. There are a few portable outhouses and limited parking off the side of the road. Only place for food is the grill and market by the campground and the grill doesn't open until 11am; so bring a breakfast with you if you go early.

Review is for the Backpacker’s Campground only. Cindy was a wonderful host and treats the campground as her own house - don’t leave your food out and be respectful to the other campers! All was quiet by 10 PM and all campers were up and gone by 8 AM. Don’t miss the amphitheater program if one is going on during your stay. We attended the Rock Climbing History presentation and it was wonderful, given by a super cool female rock climbing ranger! Used it as the last night campground after our trip up from Snow Creek and out Yosemite Falls - you can park overnight on Tioga Rd.

Beautiful location set amidst the tall pines. The Tuolumne river is within walking distance and there are endless day hikes waiting to be explored! The restroom facilities could be better kept but there are plenty of great sites to choose from, so book early! There are no showers so bring your towel and change of clothes to the river for an icey dip.

Amazing experience! Thanks to the ranger at the entrance who explained us everything in detail as this was our first time camping ever. Also, she gave us one of the highest rated camp site which was near to the creek. Tuolumne is a beautiful place, and a must visit other than the valley. Kudos to the park staff for maintaining such high standards of security and amenities.
