Dimond O Campground

Great campsite close enough to Yosemite. Bathrooms are always clean and in great condition, friendly host and peaceful place.

Frankly, this campground was better than the ones I’ve stayed at inside Yosemite. Sites were pretty private, bathrooms clean, and just outside the park boundaries. Would definitely come back.

This campground is fantastic! Sure, you’re about an hour’s drive (with some entry station traffic) to Yosemite’s Tioga wilderness and Valley attractions, but driving three miles down the access road to the campground just adds to how special this place is.

It’s secluded, away from road noise and the river’s flow and swimming hole is a very short stroll away- some sites have the river right behind them. Not to mention that the camp hosts are fabulous. There’s a lot of attention that goes into keeping the grounds well kept and clean.

The sites are rather large, too, and not stacked on top of one another. There’s enough space between each site. We also appreciated being only three miles away from Hetch Hetchy, too. It is a part of Yosemite that does not receive many visitor’s and to take in what used to be there (It was John Muir’s favorite valley), is a trip in itself.

Treat yourself and stay at Dimond O, you won’t regret it!

Clean and nice camp with river, firewood and awesome starts;

Close to Yosemite park, however outside of the border, so visitors will require pass

This is a great campground right outside of the north entrance to Yosemite. Super clean and there is a nice creek to hang out at within walking distance

We camped here for a night before heading to Hetch Hetchy to do some backpacking.  It's super close to the Hetch Hetchy entrance, so very convenient if you are trying to get an early start for backpacking.  We got in just before sunset on a Friday, and managed to get a walk up site. Campground was pretty full, but as expected in August.   Very clean campground.  The camp host had wood available for sale.  The most memorable part were COWS that had wandered near the campground.  We could hear their cowbells through the night, but not in an annoying way.
