Nice location, I was able to go into and visit Yosemite and explore and not have a lot of drive time. Amenities close enough in case you ever needed anything.

Campsites were in excellent condition and well maintained, do not feel crowded, and Yosemite Valley is just a 30 minute drive away.

Lovely camp ground with a good amenities block. Having no light made it quite peaceful and easy to sleep!
