The camp site and especially the bathrooms are full of flys. Also yellow jackets are all around the water stations making it hard to use it.

The weekend we went was the first week back to school in California so the campground was empty which was great because we tend to like more private, quiet camping. It was really nice that we were so close to Yosemite National Park so we were able to spend lots of time in the park without actually camping in it. The sites were clean, the host was very nice and friendly. There is a trail in the campground but we didn't get a chance to explore it too much. Dog friendly!

This site does not allow a change on the preset 5 stars! This campground is a one star . There is no foliage , barren sites await you. It is this very hot in the afternoon. Barely off the road it resembles a war zone. I do not recommend it. We went to dispersed camping and did well instead.
