It is a little crowded, but that's to be expected in Yosemite. The bathrooms were clean, and the trash cans were accessible and not overflowing.

Well maintained and managed. Bathrooms relatively clean. I didn't see nighttime enforcement of food storage rules; lots of grills, beverage containers, cooking/eating items out late at night.

Pretty quiet campsite. I camped on a spot right at the entrance to the loop and not too far from the dumpsters and was never too bothered by cars. No service or lights but you’re camping.

The store at the gas station closes at 5 so make sure you have everything you need before then.

Campsites are very dusty. Your feet and legs will be covered in fine red dust.

The water spigot in the 500 loop was not working (it was a giant hole in the ground) so I had to walk all the way to the 400 loop (up hill) to get water. This is a pretty big inconvenience especially if you are expecting easy access to water. The camp store did not sell large volumes of water either, so I recommend bringing plenty of your own or bringing a large container like I did to minimize trips to the other loops spigot.
