Hodgdon Meadow Campground

The campground itself was incredible--well kept bathrooms and sites and so close to Yosemite valley. There was a bear in the campground but staff responded well and alerted us to the bear in the area when we returned to our site around 10 PM.

However, the site itself was terrible for tent camping (site 26). I'm not sure how a tent only site is allowed to be on such a slope. The table for the site is adequately leveled using a log, but there was no where to sleep that wasn't on a slope. Beautiful place, terrible site :)

#63 private parking pad- slope , u need leverage,following other posting we parked parallel and work perfect, bathrooms very clean (appreciate) and park reps very nice.

We had our camp chairs taken from our campsite. The campground host took no action when we reported the situation. We found the chairs in a neighboring site the following morning and a park ranger looked into the matter. I expect to not return to this campground.

Our spot was flat and had space for 2 tents are so. Camp host/staff has done a good job with posters about etiquette and tips for campers. Restrooms were not far.

Great campground near the edge of Yosemite. Sites aren’t super flat, but overall we had a nice time. Nice fire pits and picnic tables so it was easy to cook and make s’mores after dinner. Loved seeing Yosemite Valley and hiking the waterfall trails.

The pull in was unlevel and made for a very difficult experience in our truck tent. The camp was very noisy even after quiet hours.
Camp host was helpful though.

We were really disappointed with Hodgdon Meadow Campground. While it’s conveniently close to the park entrance, that also means you’re not really close to much else inside Yosemite. Unfortunately, the campground itself was the exact opposite of what we look for when camping.

The entire campground is extremely hilly. None of the sites we saw felt level, spacious, or easy to set up in. Our site was so uneven and overgrown that we couldn’t properly set up camp at all. It honestly felt neglected.

The campground hosts were also the worst we’ve experienced. Every interaction turned into long conversations with arriving campers, creating delays and making even getting checked into camp take far longer than necessary.

I tried walking around to enjoy the campground, but there was so much unkept deadwood everywhere that the termite swarms were unbelievable. Flying termites were constantly around camp and made it hard to relax outside.

The bathrooms were so far from our site that I never even bothered walking over to see them. At night, the campground was loud because the sites are packed so close together, and people were active late into the evening. It honestly felt like nobody wanted to spend more time at camp than necessary.

We originally booked two nights but left after one because we simply did not want to stay there any longer. Yosemite itself is incredible, but this campground seriously took away from the experience.

Campground was nice but a little uneven and about 7 ft downslope from the parking area. Bathrooms were a short walk uphill with no lighting, so being flashlights. The neighboring sites are very close but I didn’t mind it.

Great campground, nice spacing, quiet, and clean.

Our short stay at Hodgdon Meadow campground was great. The camp was quiet and clean, and the restrooms were clean. It was easy to get a reservation to camp with our van. It's a great, uncrowded location, just inside of the park entrance and a 40 minute drive to the valley.
