Hodgdon Meadow Campground

Make sure you plan your time to the Reservoir or to the Valley floor it does take some time. This site is very full in the summer.

Hodgdon Meadow Campground was an overall decent and correct place to stay while visiting Yosemite.
One thing to keep in mind is that the campsites are very close to each other, which can feel a bit crowded and may be disturbing if you are looking for more privacy or a quieter atmosphere. Our camper van parking spot was also quite uneven and sloped. This was mentioned on the website in advance, but it is definitely something to be prepared for when arriving. On the positive side, the restrooms were clean and well maintained, which we really appreciated. Overall, Hodgdon Meadow Campground was a fair and acceptable place to stay.

this was a very popular campground, I am glad we made reservations, it filled up very quickly. even though there were more people here it was very quiet. The bathrooms were very clean too.

Nice campground. Facilities were clean but dated and could use renovation.

quiet campground near the entrance. Park rangers are helpful. Campground and bathroom are clean

All around great area that is just a short drive away from Yosemite valley.

Clean site, good experience with good neighbors and beautiful scenery with close access to Hetch Hetchy, but a little steep on the hill for a hike in site which made the fire pit far from the tent and tough to find an all flat spot for the tent.

Sites are too close to each other. No tent pad in a tent only site. Picnic table wasn’t level. No soap, hand sanitizer, or hand drying facilities (paper or air) in bathroom. Had to walk through other camper’s sites to get to the bathroom.
Information specifically stated no sleeping in vehicles and there were individuals obviously sleeping in vehicles at tent only sites. Should have left my tent at home and slept in my vehicle since the only semi-flat spot was 3 ft from the bear box.
Never saw an employee in the entrance kiosk to properly check in or a camp host.
Only positive was there was plenty of room in the bear box.

None of the campsites for RVs or vans is on level ground, making it difficult to level the vehicle ourselves. Restrooms have no soap or hand dryer. Poor set-up for a state campground in CA. The host and ranger do little to monitor campers playing music at off-hour times. CA has not funded improvements in these parks near Yosemite.

site 23 is located down a steep hill with no clear pathway so I hope you didn’t do a crazy hike the day before like me! My knees were shot and every time I walked down to the site it was agony, but like overall the campground was great and it was cool we could have fires
