White Wolf Campground — Yosemite National Park

I stayed here twice during a visit to Yosemite.  The first time was at the beginning of my trip and i was backpacking out the next morning. I took the shuttle from Yosemite Valley where I parked and left my car and utilized one of the backpackers campsites towards the back (first come first serve but you need a wilderness permit to stay at these). The spot I was at (#40) backed up to large rocks and was quite nice.  It was close to a creek and there was some firewood you could collect (though people at this campground were hoarding firewood like the apocolypse was coming).  After my backpacking trip I extended my stay in Yosemite to hike the Mist trail and stayed here another night.  This night I grabbed site 39.  The camp was loud and crowded. There were many people making large bonfires that seemed  dangerously uncontrolled. At some point in the vening I used the restroom and there were people smoking what appeared to be meth in the mens room at which point I felt very unsafe. I made it through the night without more problems but was happy to leave the next day.  I would never expect such issues with a NPS campground, but this one is on the outskirts.  If possible choose another campsite for your visit as this one does not have the NPS ranger staffing it clearly needs.

Crowded with drug abuse in the bathrooms - not safe!!

Stayed here back in 2016 but havent been able to since. I loved this site! had pretty big bathrooms, there was a nice stream nearby where we saw a huge buck, there was a small cafe that served breakfast and a tiny window store that sold some
essentials. Also had a few cabins you could rent that i’d like to look into. Overall great spot, I just wish they would reopen. I’ll definitely be back when they do!
