We've been coming here for years and always enjoy our stay here. Lots of quality family time and memories. Rangers frequently pass-through to check on everybody and make sure that we're all good and they're exceptionally friendly and love to sit back and talk a little bit as well..... great people 😁

I normally don't post for places I like because I don't want a million people coming and ruining my vacation but feel the need to give a review because me and my family love Eastman lake and this Campground. The park rangers are always helpful and informational and ever since I started going there in the mid 90's it just seams like all the fishermen respect the sport and each other, has a good (dysfunctional, lol) family vibe!!

Great experience, drove to Yosemite for a day trip, 83 miles each way. I got cell service at the entry office area, or by walking up to a high spot near our site.

I came in on Friday 2/14/20 without reservations. The volunteer host gave me a map and showed me what was probably available. I found this spot and it worked out well. Although it says tent only I have a 19' (box length) travel trailer I was able to fit in the spot easily. I had a great view to the west for some awesome sundowns. I did not use the restrooms & showers as I'm self-contained I did use the water spigot across the road for water to put out the campfire as well as the trashcans. Good pressure and good flow.
Cell service with AT&T was mostly usable near the table. In the trailer 20' away it was not usable.

Our experience was outstanding, from the Host that helped us find a site, to the Ranger that checked us in, to the perfect site with a view of the lake. It was all good!
