We stayed in site 46B, and it was incredible. I have stayed in Yosemite, in multiple areas, many times for many years; except this campground. My favorite campground so far.

I drove in from San Francisco and split my trip between Bridalveil Creek Campground for the start of my stay and changed to Camp 4 for the end due to what reservations were available. I am so glad it worked out this way because it was so nice to have Bridalveil Creek as my first stop, a bit inside of Yosemite - but not yet fully in the business of the Valley. My site was in the 3rd loop where there is a slight hill, so some campsites were on higher ground than others but this made it feel like you had a little more space away from other campers in a great way. The campgrounds are well maintained and you definitely still see and hear all of your neighbors, but Bridalveil Creek felt more like an authentic campsite that I'm used to in which you have a full site to yourself with room for a tent, firepit, picnic table, and a place to park. The location is ideal for getting over to Glacier Point for sunset. I think it's underrated for Yosemite campsites and I will definitely camp there again!

Campsites were well maintained. Bear locker was a good size. Bathrooms were super clean!

Really enjoyed camping here! Love that there were flushable toilets and the sink and a mirror!
We woke up early for sunrise at glacier point and Washburn point and this campground was conveniently only 10 to 15 minutes away!

Very enjoyable experience! The only thing is I didn’t realized how close together the campgrounds were in this section. Next time I would prefer to be on the outer loop instead of on the inside of loop C. The description did say it’s crowded in that area but I missed it. Not a big deal if you don’t mind the close neighbors. Overall had an amazing time!!

Beautiful secluded campground; very spacious sites especially when compared to campgrounds on the valley floor

- 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.
