Wonderful campsite! Super nice location, right after the park entrance. Approx. 40 minutes to the Valley (Curry Village).

Let me start off by saying they don’t want people coming to the campgrounds idk if they have a limit but all the campgrounds said “FULL” but where we were staying at it was completely empty there was two or three people around us with so many empty sites. But they were “full”
Anyways my camping experience was ok definitely will not be camping in that camp ground again. It was on a slope which it stayed in the description but it was so inconvenient that the table was on a slope so we couldn’t even use the table we literally did everything on top of the bear box we stayed one night then drove 10 mins out the park and stayed in Yosemite lakes! Our second night. Now that place was amazing. Def recommend.

It is not a quiet place. I don’t understand why it is allowed to listen to loud music out of speakers? I ran out of LA for silence and never found it even 350 mi away.

Host and Ranger get 10 stars! The site gets 4, the people who left it before us get 0!
Site is 6” unleveled side to side, and that’s the least I could find.
Prior group/person must have been burning logs 24/7, the fire ring was filled and there was evidence of burned unbucked/split logs and coals around the entire site. Lots of trash ( which we picked up). Ranger came by and emptied the ring.
Location wasn’t too far from the valley or meadow. It’s literally just in the park from the west 120 entrance.

Super helpful staff with exactly the suggestions we needed for enjoying our time in Yosemite. Good location to visit the northern wild parts with trails high up through light woods and to beautiful outlooks.

The tent site we had was really step. Really uncomfy to sleep there, especially considering the high price compared to other nationalpark campgrounds.

Easy check-in, clear signage, bathrooms and trash were close without being too stinky. Our campsite was slightly slanted but it didn't cause many issues in regard to sleeping. The drive in to Yosemite Valley was longer than we preferred after days of strenuous hiking, but was manageable. Overall a good experience and would recommend to others.

Crowded campground with a lot of big RV's running generators. Bathrooms small and not the cleanest.

Other than the tent pads not being level (lol!) this was a great campsite since we like being away from the crowd and feeling more surrounded by nature. I feel like this site had a more level tent pad than most. We enjoyed the campground.
