The good thing is that it's 1 hour away from Yosemite Village, the bad thing is if you are driving a sedan you will be driving 8 mph to get from the main road to the campground. The road is rough, I made it with a Camry but you way want to bring a truck or SUV. The restrooms don't have running water, the campsites don't have running water. You will be far away from civilization and 8k in elevation so it does get cold. Have fun.

Such a great campground! We got reservations online and really liked our sites. There is a five mile dirt road to get in No potable water No electricity Great star gazing and wonderful spot Very quiet in here

Beautiful campsite near the creek – but plan ahead! We stayed one night at campsite #62 — great spot, peaceful and close to the creek. Overall, a very good experience. However, Google Maps led us to the wrong place. Make sure to follow the road signs carefully once you’re on Tioga Road — it’s at least another 15 minutes from there, and the road gets rough like an off-road trail. Also, try to arrive before sunset

One of the best Campsite ground in Yosemite. Between Mountains and Creek. I had Creek right in my back yard. But Road is 1 hour long to get there and mostly off road. Also not on the map either. We got lost trying to find it and had zero signal. So either get a map or download offline map. Take Yosemite Creek exit for it and go all the way to end. But it is so beautiful.

This is for sure "roughing it" camping. We drove 5 miles on dirt/bumpy gravel to get to our site. There is NO water and only porta potties. Stop at the entrance shop if you jeed anything, otherwise its an hr drive back. We stayed at site #16, we had a beautiful creek running behind our campsite. We were able to get water from the creek to put out our fire since there's heavy regulations on campfires, understandably so. We stayed early July, it gets really cold at night. The grounds had bear lockers on each site, which is helpful since it's bear country.

My favorite Yosemite campground, mainly because it's difficult to get to and that weeds out alot of the less than desirable campers. Great trail to the Falls and beyond. Can be hot and uncomfortable in July. Recommend mid June or August.

This place was our last resort since we didn't have reservations. It's 12$ per night thats why i gave them a 2 star, but the place had no running water and we had to use porta pottys since the bathrooms were not running due to the dry weather. The older lady and man were nice, but there was a guy by the name of Rusty who was so rude and thought he was the sheriff at the campground. He threatened us due to our dog barking supposedly uncontrollably during the day time and when my husband asked uestions he got really aggressive. You can tell the man was just RACIST. We were not the only latino family he harassed, he did the same to another family too.

big private campground in the woods. only 12$. The road to the campground is a little rough and it takes about 20 minutes but its worth it. no flush toilets, no water. Part of the campground was closed..

If you are not super early you will not have a spot.not enough camping and trying to get out was hell.traffic inside was like city traffic for my first time going it was no fun.and the rangers were not helpful.if you do go go for hiking and take a small car .to get in to places and only go for the day.
