One of the best campgrounds we've stayed in. Pitches are nicely far apart so you feel like you have your own space and each pitch is a good size. The hosts we're lovely and really made our time there. Friendly and chatty and happy to give advice about the surrounding area. They sell firewood and will bring it to your site for you.
Campgrounds are about 30-40 minutes drive to Yosemite entrance gate. Campgrounds in the national park were fully booked when we looked and this turned out to be a great alternative. The campgrounds in the park look huge and very busy whereas this site was much quieter and spacious. We're glad we couldn't get into the other sites!
Highly recommend this campsite. Thanks to the hosts for a lovely stay.
