Very nice and spacious campsite! Bathrooms were clean and rangers were all very nice. This particular campground is about 40 minutes from the valley which was the only thing that gave this a 4/5 stars.

Great campsite within the park. If you have a campsite that counts as a reservation to enter the park on those specific days.

Horrible place not suitable for RV. Impossible to position it level. Key requirement for a good night sleep. Kind host.

Would have liked to have a few more spigots and toilets as they both were crowded and a bit far for car camping. Our site 38 was crowded and on a hill. I liked it was close to the edge of the wilderness but the park map made it look farther away from other campers and it wasn’t. It’d be good for families camping together. Less good for noisy random people.

Yosemite is an amazing destination. Hodgdon Meadow Campground sites are pretty close together, bear boxes are spacious, bathrooms were kept clean for the six days we were there, no problem getting water and rangers are great. It can be quite dry in this area, so be ready for dust without access to showers in the campground. We will stay here again.

The sites are crowded together. We had a tent 10 feet from us.
Most of the sites are uneven so it is challenging to find a level spot for many sites. Our site was not bad.
This is a good campground based on its location. It is not a destination campground on its own.

The worst NP campground we've ever stayed in, having camped in like 45 NPs this is saying a lot. Two male toilets, literally two, for 103 sites? Trash, literal trash (vape pens, socks, endless debris) littered the grounds. The vibe was music festival grounds or county fair, as the evening descended wild times were happening all around. The sites are on top of each other, everyone has to walk through every one else's site. Shantytown might be more appropriate. Yosemite is just a garbage strewn, overcrowded cesspool, this is the National Park we deserve

While park rangers and staff do their best, it's clear that budget cuts have taken a toll. Bathrooms are clean but require maintenance. We experienced overflowing toilets, urinals that didn't flush, and leaky and difficult to operate faucets. Tours are staffed by well-intentioned guides but they are inexperienced and not super knowledgeable.

Campground is way too small for the number of sites that exist. The sites are either less than three feet from each other or are stacked front to back from the road with no clear walkway. For most of them, it's not clear where one site ends and another begins, so people spread way beyond their immediate area which also leads to people walking every which way through sites that they aren't staying in. In addition, almost none of the sites have level spots so you're sleeping on an incline of some sort.
The bathrooms are way too limited to accommodate the number of people in the campground, leading to long lines and unsanitary bathroom conditions. Most unmaintained, pit toilets are cleaner than what these bathrooms ended up being partway through the weekend.
