GuidePlenty of spots. Some noise from people playing music. Some trash around the campsites
ScoutIf Traveling with kids make use of their fire pit and roast marshmallows
RangerThere are No Camping signs posted at the road and farther up toward the hot springs. We did end up staying here one night with our pop-up camper, because it was late when we finally arrived. There was a little pull out loop that had a camper van and another truck camper already parked and camping when we got there. There was plenty of room to be able to pull in and park in that area as well. It’s very dusty/sandy in this area. The hot springs were a 5 min drive from this spot. There are really no facilities here! There is one vault toilet down by the hot springs, but it was pretty rough. There are no trash cans around, it is a pack it in, pack it out area, please be prepared to clean up after yourselves and remove your trash. I did clean up some remnants of others trash, but for the most part it was pretty well kept. Although it says no camping, this was a decent overnight spot with beautiful views and it was pretty awesome to be able to wake up and soak in the hot springs on a chilly morning!
GuideFirstly, the spots aren’t actually on Evergreen; they’re on an easily missed dirt road near Aspen Valley Rd. There are two spots at the end of the very short road - each with a fire pit and ample space. There’s tons of dead/dry wood around for fires. It’s close to the road but there isn’t much traffic and it’s very close to the Yosemite entrance.
GuideThe road in is very rutted. I noticed a few campsites that had fire rings but those were taken. I kept driving until I found a pull off. I’m only staying overnight.
TravelerThe campground itself is very nice and clean.
The host basically demanded that we pay the ten dollar donation (which we had planned to do), so it's not a free place to camp. Then he complained because we were in a double site. There wasn't any indication that it was a double site, and the campground was basically empty, so we weren't keeping anyone from the site. We gladly would have moved if someone wanted it!
TravelerNot gonna lie, I was skeptical at first. GPS took me to the wrong (dirt) road, it was getting dark and stormy... Eventually stormed passed and I got a clear moonlight and could hear the gurgle of the river a few meters away. Best reward was in the morning... Wow! ♥️ A nice spot for those just leaving Yosemite or about to go into it.
The road is not great, drive slowly
PS: I found a tote bag (see pic) where I was, if it's yours hit me up!!
GuideWorth the road in,paved roads narrow in spots plenty of pull outs to let people by , on the creek camping clean and flat rv sights can handle big rigs
ScoutThis site is just about four minutes away from Yosemite entrance. We stayed here two nights. The sites are really spread out, which is super nice!
Unfortunately, we did find a lot of toilet paper and human waste.
There were also a lot of ground bee nests. Our dogs pretty much all got stung when they were running around the campsite.
The road around the campground is super bumpy and it was a little challenging to find a level spot. But there were enough areas to find something level to sleep on.
We really enjoyed our stay here, though! The spots are nestled in the trees with a lot of privacy and separation from other campers. We were able to let our dogs off and run around, which was a huge plus. Great place to camp!
