Pleasent RV park on the way to Yosemite Valley

We stayed here in winter either side of 2 nights in Yosemite. In winter check-in/drive up bookings are in the lodge reception in the main village which is great as they're open all through the night. Power was good, showers were okay - hot but lacked pressure. Wifi is provided by a third party but was reasonably priced for an overnight stop.

Cheap, scenic, quiet and dark

Nice desert campground with clean amenities (without lights make sure you bring a torch). Very reasonably priced and much nicer than the Sunset Campground. Good place to stay for a day or two while exploring the valley.

Functional and Cheap

Great to pull up late at night and park for the night. Toilets were clean. Generators didn't annoy us but I can imagine if it was busy it would be annoying. Well located in furnace creek. Would recommend heading up to Texas Springs if given the option - only slightly more expensive, much nicer setting and no generators allowed.

Beautiful but very shaded in Winter

We were here after a major dump of snow in early December. They cleared the sites which was great but it was very cold all through the day thanks to its position in the valley and the pines (funny that!). I'm sure this is a huge attribute in summer. It also seems strange that those staying in Camp 4 are provided showers but staying here you aren't, would be great if NPS could install a system similar to camp 4 here too. Overall very pretty and conveniently located with 2 minor bug bears!

Great Campground

Really well located campground. From here you can access the visitor centre or walk into Springdale. It's a short drive (or shuttle bus outside of winter) into the National Park. There were sites with power hookups which was very convenient and very reasonably priced. It looked like showers might be available for a price straight over the bridge at a hire bike place but we didn't check them out so can't confirm.

Overpriced and dated

Whilst it is the cheapest RV park in the vicinity of the Grand canyon it is well overpriced and the amenities are probably the oldest I've seen. In winter they turn the water at each site off and then have the audacity to charge you to use their showers. Overall would not recommend unless you are travelling on a budget and just want a place to legally park your van with some power - I won't be back.
