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

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

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.

I love this campground. This particular site is pretty sloped. I found a kind of flat portion for my tent but it was pretty small!

Most of the site is slanted, and there is no privacy, but it works perfectly as a basecamp for your Yosemite Adventure. It's a beautiful 40ish minute drive into the valley, just make sure you get to the valley early to get a parking spot and then utilize the free shuttles to get around.

After-hours check-in—which is as early at 7PM—is easy to do. Only downside of the campsite is that some sites do not have level ground, so be aware that you may have to employ strategies to level tents or your sleeping area inside them. If you are driving to the valley floor, try to get there before 9AM so as to be able to find parking easily.
We booked our site only the week before, which is astonishing in the summer rush. If you are available in the middle of the week, I'd suggest trying for Yosemite camping then, as it is far more open than weekends.
