The whole place felt rundown, the toilets and showers were dirty and obviously hadn't been cleaned in a while. Showers weren't draining and no privacy. Check in was fine. It has potential but unfortunately just not worth paying $80. For this I'd expect a basic level of cleanliness.

Broken down campground. Sites are ok, worth maybe half what they charge. The campground had a number of buildings that were broken down, falling in, looking like a disaster area. Really sad. Not a functional campground and not worth the price, but at least it's close to Yosemite...

This place is very depressing due to the falling down buildings, mini-homes, no effort to repair or replace anything on the property. The park is close to Yosemite that was why we rented a campsite. The manager was pleasant. 👎

This is hard to review.. the campground is run down and in need of serious attention. Great location to Yosemite Park entrance is about the only thing going for it, restrooms run down and not cleaned, weeds and grass overgrown and the destroyed trailers make it look abandoned. We needed a campground with power, water and sewer hookup and that was the best thing going for this site. Resort should not be included in the name of this property!

Absolutely terrible and dishonest business practices. Back in April we booked a campsite there for a stay in August. They have a cancellation policy of full refunds if cancelled prior to 10 days before arrival. See this quote from their webpage! "Cancellations & Refunds.......RV campsites: We allow full refunds for cancellations up to 10 days prior to your arrival date for daily and weekly reservations." Tragically, my brother and my mother pass away within 24 hours of each other. We immediately have to cancel our west coast RV trip for the summer. So starting on June 16th we start requesting a cancellation and refund 48 days prior to check in. We used their webpage contact form. We never heard back from them. We called them on June 18th. No answer. Left a message on voicemail. They did not return call. My Wife and I called several times over the next couple weeks. They would not answer our calls, texts, or voicemails. Fortunately, Bank of America did refund our money through filing a dispute with the credit card company. We never did hear from Yosemite Ridge. We cancelled 10 other campground reservations for the summer and did not have one issue with any of them. We certainly did not need this added stress dealing with a family emergency. Let alone the $800+ on the line. Do NOT trust this place with your money. Could be a great place to stay. We'll never know, since we won't book there next year when we try the west coast trip again.
