GuideWe have a site with electric and water for hook. Bring a long hose and power cord to get more flexibility about how to position your rig. There is a fire ring and picnic table on site. The site is spacious but mot much privacy from the neighbor. Was here in late May and hardly anyone here.
ScoutGreat spot near Yosemite south entrance. Very quite and private.
TravelerA well maintained campground & walking distance from the lake. Standard but roomy sites with the usual fire ring/grill & picnic table, bathrooms are clean too.
GuideHeavily wooded area. Great location to get to all the Hiks. Good location to be in the valley. Sites are tight would not recommend a rig over 30. Good access to shuttle system.
GuideIt’s a great spot to camp when you’re in Yosemite but want a more peaceful place to stay for the night.
TravelerNot bad. Clean. Nice views. Campgrounds are a little too close. And it was crowded. But it was nice for a last minute weekend get away.
TravelerNice quiet no amenities not crowded. Wrote in was okay campsites pretty level weather was wonderful little wind all in all a pleasant 4 days
ScoutThe short gravel road to the campground is easily accessible via a 2WD vehicle. Overlooking Hwy 395, but quiet and with great views. Sites are fairly spread out. Pit toilets. No potable water. Each site has a table and fire pit, along with bear box. Plenty of open sites on a May weekday.
TravelerIt's upsetting when an app you pay for tells you overnight camping only to find no overnight camping allowed
