Great for Yosemite visit

This place was a great stay while visiting Yosemite. No reservations in advance, an hour outside the park, and only $10 a night. There are two pit toilets that are well kept and something like 10-15 sites. Definitely come early to snag a spot, and even earlier if you want a good one. There are more campsites further down the road if the first campground is full, but we didn’t check them out. The first campground is no RVs and I assume the other ones are the same. All walk-in tent sites, but the furthest you’ll need to walk is probably 30 feet. The sites are very close together so get ready to be nice to your neighbors. There is a river right next to the campground which is very pretty and very cold. As of us being here, it’s roaring and unsafe to do anything in, but apparently when it calms down (I think later in summer/fall) it’s good for tubing and other river sports. The campground hosts were very nice and introduced themselves right away. There were also plenty of felled & chopped up trees around to use for firewood, as well as bear containers at each site and a picnic table. ANTS WILL GET IN THERE. We had ants all over our dishes in the morning, but not our stuff in tubs, so make sure your things are ant proof. All food goes into the containers, don’t leave anything smelly in your car incase a bear tries to break in. Also, the squirrels are a little too friendly, clearly they rely on the humans in the area for food, so try not to drop food on the ground & don’t feed them. They’ll walk right up to you already. And watch out for food laying around/ keeping the bear containers open/ leaving coolers and things open because they will get in there and try to eat your stuff.
