Nice campground to use as a base for Glacier Point Rd hikes and excursions. Campground was well maintained and I appreciated the hosts checking for reservations at the gate. Minus one star for the men's toilet block in Loop C (only one stall for dozens of campers), the rather loud group campsite that was plopped in a central location, and the hoards of yellow jackets in the afternoon (cooking without meat seemed to help at meal time). But all of these are the usual car camping issues that you'd expect anywhere. Overall a good place to stay.

The campsite in my opinion is perfectly place between the Yosemite valley and Glacier Point. I mention Glacier point because we decided to visit again at 9pm to stargaze and it was amazing . Once we were done Bridalveil was just a 20 minute drive. On another note I recommend to bring buckets to carry water back and forth to the campsite to was dishes for hands. I plan to bring three in order to have clean water, soapy water and rinse water. Also be aware of the hornets 🐝 nests, we had one in each of outlet sites and it wasn’t such a happy moment when we accidentally bumped into them. As we cooked they visited so I suggest to have a dish of sweet food on the side to attract them away from your group. I would also like to suggest to visitors to honor the quiet hours and keep your laughter and loud discussions down after hours. Some people do get up early in order to go hiking and would like to sleep. The rangers are very helpful and are greatly appreciated! Don’t forget to stargaze!!!

Good campground! Really nice launchpad for exploring Glacier Point area. No showers, but chill vibe. Well kept. Flush toilets (great, but limit the season up here).

Policies & Rules
Arrival & departure
- Ensure you read site alerts and book an appropriate site for your equipment.
- Notify the park if you're arriving late to avoid cancellation of your reservation.
- Contact park services for further information via phone or website.
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
