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!

Extremely overcrowded with no campsite/trail etiquette. If you are hoping to experience nature, this is not the place. The campsite is more akin to a Walmart parking lot only good for people watching.

Campground was good but site 57 was not a good location- right next to the bathroom, not enough space for 2 tents, located in a cluster of campsites so close to each other the people at the adjacent campsite stayed up late talking and kept us up.

Nice campground near the park entrance. Site is in a cluster of campsites next to the parking area so easy set up.

Its nice, a little small and close to the next campsite. Other than that its nice! Host are strict but i totally understand it just keep us at ease to ensure all wildlife and campers are safe. Bathrooms need a little update. But its okay!

This site is close to 103. The different neighbors all paid zero attention to the quiet hours. Could not sleep even being extremely tired… Worst part of Yosemite trip..

It was great! The host ranger volunteers were so nice and very pleasant. The only downfall was the distance to the valley, but better than staying outside the park and battling the entrance lines.

The place did not have clear instructions on where to get potable water from. We saw people getting them from the bathroom itself, but we were expecting to have an independent water line for the water.
