VerifiedDecember 23, 2021 • Stayed at: 106, Loop: C
Snagged a last minute cancellation and were pleasantly surprised! This campground is much quieter than the Pines campgrounds in the Valley, and the location of 106 was very nice--decent space from neighbors, trees and rocks between you and the sites behind.
A great option for sunrise/sunset trips to Glacier Point. It was still quite chilly in early August, much colder than the valley--got down in the 40s overnight, so we wore layers and had lots of blankets for tent camping.
No firewood on site, so bring some from the Valley or collect wood.

No cell coverage, bathroom had no lights at night, aggressive bears that bluff charge you to get you to drop your food, but I would return in a heartbeat. Beautiful campground, nice host that was totally on top of things, fantastic location and a much quieter vibe than in the Valley.

Large spaces surrounded by lots of trees and nature. Includes a picnic table, bonfire ring and bear bin. There are bears in the area that like to come for food so make sure to follow the storage rules. The volunteer on site was very friendly and recommended a couple of view points in the area during sunset. Affordable and a great spot, not too loud or crowded in the B loop area.

One of the best camp ground inside Yosemite National Park! Only 20mins to Glacier Point, which is perfect to see sunrise/sunset there.

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.
Wildlife & food storage
- Store food and toiletries properly to avoid attracting wildlife; use provided lockers and dispose of waste in bear-proof dumpsters.
