Our site, 104, was extremely unlevel. Our trailer actually fell off the jackstands. We almost gave it up, but after discussing with our neighbors, found a more level area immediately next to their site. Considering how difficult it is to get reservations here, this was very disappointing and problematic. There would likely have been no place else to stay. We picked this site up after a last minute cancellation, and I can see why. Avoid site The site is huge, but deeply rutted, both along the road, and through the site. The ruts were at least 1 foot deep. The site itself also slopes at least 4 feet from one end to the other. We never used the fire pit or the picnic table because they were so far from where we finally could put our trailer. Bathrooms with sinks are available, clean, with cold water. No showers. Unless you have a tiny trailer, or a small tent, avoid sites 104 and 105 at all costs. Our trailer is only 18 ft.

Very dusty, not level sites. We were in a camper van. Crowded and not much privacy anywhere. Nice warm welcome from the entry gate - thank you!

Campsite #71 was exactly what we wanted it to be. On the edge of the campground, with other quiet tent-camping neighbors to each side and just forest to the back. The walk from parking to camp was short and easy. Location was great for peace and quiet at night in camp and beautiful drives during the day to see the grandeur of Yosemite: one day in the Valley and one along Tioga road.

Hodgdon Meadow camping was really fun for our group. Site 34 is indeed on an incline. I thought I found a level ground to set up our tent but we found ourselved slipping throughout the night. Beware of ants that come out especially at night. A bit of a walk to the bathrooms and wash area but no overall major complaints.

Very clean campground and easy to navigate to find your reserved site. After hours check-in was a breeze. Would definitely spend another night at this campground.

We rolled in very late and check in was very easy to manage the next day. Our group camping sites were very spacious. We especially enjoyed being at the end of the campground where the kids could play in the woods where we could still see them. There was ample space in the bear lockers for all of our toiletries and food items. Only wish we could've stayed longer.

Close to the valley and Tioga Pass Rd. Just inside the park entrance. Campsites are crowded and tightly bunched. Maybe it was just the weather, but sites were very smoky from all the campfires. Would stay again mostly due to the convenience to the park's highlights.

I wasn’t expecting the walking campsite. It’s tough carrying a ice chest to a bearbox up and down a hill. The whole campground is very hilly so tough to sleep in your vehicle when it’s not flat.

Walk-in campsites really aren't very far from the parking lots.

This is a handy place to stay in Yosemite when nothing else is available. We stayed in the "hike in" sites and found them very closely spaced and located on slopes that were difficult to place tents on. If the sites were placed a little further from the road and parking spaces it would be easy to find flat spots for tents and a little more space and privacy. But there are signs posted saying that camping is not permitted beyond the boundaries of the campsite so people are packed in pretty tight. That said, this is a good staging area for adventures in the national park!
