We were at a campsite with maybe 30% shade, which we noted applied to most of the sites. At first we appreciated how easy it was to spread out onto the land outside the site, made it feel spacious! But then we saw that we were surrounded by short, tall, bushy poison oak and poison sumac. It was everywhere. So there wasn’t much relief for shade, since that often meant being in the areas with poisonous plants. It wasn’t even a blisteringly hot weekend, since it was the first days of May! But the toilets were clean and the water pump worked great and the other campers/sites were respectful and very quiet. Definitely rustic, off the path, and an easy distance to Yosemite.

Very quiet and peaceful. Easy access to Yosemite. Pit toilets very clean. Water available. Ant infestation in our camp (1) at one tent location. Bear box in sun all day so don't put any food in there that will melt (chocolate) or spoil (carrots). Beware of poison oak all around. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. We drove into the valley each of our 4 day's stay, leaving camp just after 6AM, arriving at Swinging Bridge just after 7AM missing traffic and construction delays. Spent the day hiking and then returned to camp about 7PM each evening for a leisurely dinner. Mosquitoes were minimal and non-existant once the sun set. I would stay here again this time of year to enable easy access to Spring hiking in Yosemite.
