The 6 mile road to get into it is rough. With high rain season, you have to cross the creek and it may require a lifted type vehicle like a truck. There are some beautiful waterfall spots about 2 miles of hill climb from campground, well worth the hike. Water can be very cold though. Has bathrooms and is first come, first serve campground. Has a creek through the middle next to pretty much all sites. The stars at night are incredible. It’s about a 40 minute drive from Yosemite.

Great campground near Yosemite

Off-road on the way to the camp site. We stayed at #4, with a good shade and it’s by the creek. Everything is  good only it’s too dusty when other cars pass by without slowing down.
