Hodgdon Meadow Campground

Great location for access to Yosemite Valley. Campsites are quite close together so if other campers are not considerate, it can detract from the experience. Definitely recommend arriving before sunset as parking for specific campsites is at awkward angles and would be difficult to navigate in the dark!

I thought the space of the site relative to the other campers was good. I didn't feel like we were all crammed next to one another. Everyone seemed to be respectful of the quiet time rule which was nice because Ive been in public sites where people were loud late into the evening. The other thing I would suggest for the park, is to include a wash station into the bathrooms. Right now the camp site requires that you wash your dishes at your own site, collect the grey water you used for washing, and then go dump that water into the potable water station drain at the bathroom. No one followed this rule and just washed their dishes at the potable water sink. Yellowstone has wash stations in their bathrooms, where you can wash dishes and they are also in bear country, so I think Yosemite can install wash stations and povide soap as well. People are going to break the rules anyways so you might as implement a reliable system thats safe for the campers but also safe for the bears / wildlife.

Keine duschen, direkt am parkeingang. War in Ordnung, aber nicht sauber.

Pretty nice campground, albeit a bit of close quarters with our neighbors. Despite this, campgrounds were quiet and bathrooms were clean.

Our camp host and rangers were amazing.

BIG, busy, clean but well used

Delightful, Helpful, Informative (volunteer) Camp Hostess

Typical plodding, unorganized begrudging entrance booth government employees

The bathroom facilities need to be more and showers would be nice to have. Also firewood onsite even to pay for would be nice. The onsite camp host lady in the truck camper was awesome. It is definitely time to upgrade the facilities. There are not enough of them for the size of the campground that is always full and everyone is in need as they are all tenting.

Good luck finding a level spot for your camper or tent. Nothing "meadow" about this campground. That being said; tons of shade, clean bathrooms, quiet, very friendly/helpful ranger and camp host. Over an hour drive from the main valley. The reservoir that was about a 20 minute drive was very cool. Same with the sequoia grove we hiked (again, needed to drive to it). Easier to get campsites here than in the valley.

If you want a quieter place to camp in Yosemite, this is the place. It doesn't have the hustle and bustle of the campgrounds in the Valley or elsewhere inside the park. It was only a 30 min. drive to Yosemite Valley and about 50 min. to Glacier Point- which isn't too bad. The rangers were also friendly and attentive in keeping the campground clean and organized. One downside is that the sites are small. If you are having more than one tent (3 person or larger tent), you may have to play tent tetris to not set up/sleep on slanted ground. We noticed a lot of sites had this issue.

Très bien, en pleine nature c’est génial
Emplacements très proches les uns des autres par contre.
