Lost Claim

Quiet and peaceful campground. Sites were nicely spaced apart allowing for privacy. Clean and well kept pit toilets. We did not have reservations in Yosemite Valley and the drive was not too long to get there. The close proximity to Groveland and the local grocery store was invaluable for re-supply.

We actually could not stay here. We have a Van and our site was barely a 3 foot turnout with a drop down to the "campsite". Our campsite in Lost Claim for the next night was so off-level as to be useless as well. In addition, the campground is unkempt. We often camp in remote places but to pay $50+ for unusable sites in a trashy campground was annoying. Tent sites should still have a somewhat level place to park a vehicle. Our van is 136" so not a monstrosity by any means. Thousand Trails let us stay in their parking lot at a non-functioning hook-up spot. So nice. We found a tent site at Summerland Campground on Hwy 41 and it was great for the second night. We stayed at Dimond O campground near Lost Claim and it was very nice as well.

Great campsite close to Yosemite, kind of primitive with vault toilets. Facility is clean and well maintained

Everything about the three location/sites I had reserved were amazing. The only thing I washed for was a recyclable bin.

We got at the campground around 6ish, there was no one at the campground for check in, I didn't have idea which spot to take, the ground was soft but very inclined, the bathrooms were pretty clean, no sinks. Next day there was a lady checking that we had a reservation, we took the wrong spot( we didn't know because there was no one to ask to). I showed her my reservation and everything was good. Youre not allow to use the Fireplace. No showers.

Great for us but perhaps not for most. Essentially every spot is visible but it has a very natural feel to it. Perhaps the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen at a campsite but then again it is a very small place. If, like us, your options are few, take it. Dirt roads.

Campsites were well spaced out. My campsite was on the very edge of the burn so there was plenty of bird activity at dawn and dusk. The pit toilets were very clean.

Very close to Yosemite. Perfect for what we needed!

We loved it here! Stayed 6 nights. Spots and bathrooms are clean and a very large bear box. Spots were large and had privacy. Short drive to Yos and gas/grocery. The hosts were a hoot, friendly informative and helpful. I was hoping to hear the cows many of the reviews talked about but didn’t see/hear any. There is some construction going on but we were gone by 9am each morning and didn’t hear any noise. Saw some wildlife mostly dear, fox, lots of cool birds, and bats. I’m not a big spider person and our site had a ton of wolf spiders but they stay still in the edge circling the campsite. You can see their eyes sparking at night which was actually pretty cool if you shine your lights in them. I recommend cooking before 8am for breakfast because the bees were relentless after that. We can’t wait to come back someday! Driving in/out there are some potholes in the dirt road but if you take it easy I’d say most cars could get in/out just fine. No locks on the bear box to keep people out but we didn’t have any problems.

The only good things noted about this camp ground was that the people were respectful, and it was so close to Yosemite. Besides that, my crew and I were not satisfied with the campsite. One of the bigger reasoning to why that is is because there was absolutely no camp host. When we needed help with something, had a question, or something was going on, we were left in the dust because there was no camp host
