Amazing campground in Yosemite National Park Positive Super nice atmosphere Enough restrooms Food lockers against bears In total 3 generator time slots a day and dumping station available Nice fire place Negative Really nothing you just have to wash your dishes at your place for bear safety

My friends and I stayed here and it was awesome! One of the most beautiful camp sites I’ve stayed at. Since we camped in December it was super cold but it was worth it. Smaller crowds and great views of the valley in the winter.

We came here late but we were able to get to our reserved spot. Toilet areas were clean but basic. Water is only cold. The water bottle refill station didn't work (it was winter time, maybe due to that). The location was great. You can walk a few trails from here.

One of the best camp site. The fire place is amazing with the adjustable grill. Toilet is clean. Stores and diner is walking distance with everything you need for your camping. Campground is spacious for both your tent and your car. Great spot for star gazing as well

We had stayed in The Ahwahnee, but wanted to spend at least one day/night in this campground. The sites are a nice size. You don't feel cramped in like sardines even if the campground is full. Bear boxes are available on each site. Grab some firewood from the nearby market in Curry Village or in Yosemite Village if you happen to be there. Clean bathrooms at the campground. Sitting there next to the campfire at night stargazing through the trees is one those peaceful, fulfilling experiences to have. It was just beautiful. The people out here followed the quiet time protocol for the most part. Only heard a few laughs after 10pm. Not a big deal. We also heard what we think were coyotes. No complaints, but something I want to point out. We showed up around 4:30pm and the camp hosts were giving instructions to the people ahead of us because the hosts were walking back to their RV. So if you show up "late", you sign in on the clipboard, look up your site# on the whiteboard, and go to your site. You're also supposed to check in by 10:00am the next morning or you're threatened to lose your site. Not sure why you have to check in again if you've already signed in. Seems like a waste of time. We didn't bother checking in the next morning because we were there for one night, so we left.

Bring a good, metal-handled, flathead shovel for the snow. Bring a lot of firewood. Bring snowshoes and snowpants. Ice is everywhere on road but campsites are mostly snow, about 3-5 inches deep. Loved snow camping though! Just come prepared. See photo.

Camping in Yosemite....doesn't get any better. Even in the snow it was fun.

Amazing campground! well spaced sites, plenty of room, close enough to the trailheads and Curry Village. (for coffee)

Going to start with the bad. The sites don’t really have privacy and are closer together than I like. But it’s an amazing location in the he valley with half dome towering over it. So many trails paved and unpaved. I found plenty of space to walk with my dog for miles. Such a bike and pedestrian friendly park. I biked from camp to the village and around to some sights. Great spot.

Beautiful campsite! The bathrooms are very clean. It has bear lockers for food storage, which are pretty good in size and fire pits are also there. Park rangers were super helpful. The campground has easy accessibility to some amazing hikes- vernal falls, mirror lake. People are mindful of the quiet hours.
