Campground was clean and very quiet. There were a LOT of bees/wasps, flies, and mosquitos. You better bring a mosquito incense for smoke along with a campfire. It's a nice site, but it was quite boring because it was 45mins drive away from the yosemite valley and main attractions and hikes. Our campsite was not too hilly and has 2 clear spots for two small tents to lay flat. It had a shady spot and an open area spot nice for star gazing.

This was our first time staying here, and we loved it. Rangers are very helpful and knowledgeable. Bear lockers are very big, and the campground is very clean. It is a great location if you don't want to stay in the valley. We will definitely be staying here again.

Campsite 17 had less shade than picture due to trees that were cut down. Campsite was great otherwise, amenities as advertised. Would stay in Bridalvell campground again.

This is a fantastic campground in a less crowded part of Yosemite National Park. The sites are really well maintained with private bear lockers, fire pits, and picnic tables. The restrooms have flush toilets and potable water spickets within a short walk of all the campsites. The site is on the road out to Glacier Point and hence perfectly situated for day hikes on the southern rim (or Panorama Trail!) as well for people coming or going via the Wawona entrance. Great spot!!

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.
