Hodgdon Meadow Campground

The campsite is located within the Yosemite border but a 30 minute drive into the park to be able to do everything. Bear boxes are provided that can fit up to 2 big coolers and other little items. Most of the campsites are on a hill. Bathrooms are clean, but be prepared to bring your own soap( because of the bears)

Campground was okay. Bathrooms were clean and neighbors were considerate. Our campsite was not great. Most of the campsite was at a steep angle. The only flat spot was right next to the neighboring campsite. They also had only one flat spot so we could hear them talking and even snoring.

First night was wonderful, second night I almost couldn't sleep because the loudest generator I've ever heard ran all night

Beautiful campground away from the mania of the valley. Surrounded by serene and beautiful pines, each plot has plenty of space to make your own along with a fire pit (with ample wood around the camp). Hike In is more like a 10 second stroll so don’t let that put you off.

The campsite was nice and big. It's on a slope, so remember that you will roll to one corner at night. The walk from the park to the campsite is nothing, so you don't have to worry about the hike in the description. It is close to the restroom and has a grill, table, and firepit—roughly 45 minutes from Yosemite Valley Center.

Nice and quiet location

only verison cell phone works. good trip at hodgen camp.

No water, noisy at night

Tent side is very flat and clean.
It is quite and restrooms are clean.

The site was not bad, bigger than all the sites next to it. Yes it is steep but there is a flat area for at least 2 larger tents or 3 small single tents. The bench is leveled off. Parking area is next to it. The bathrooms were OK, flush and mostly not smelly at all because the doors and windows are open 24/7. There is a Grey water toilet dump on the side of the bathroom building along with a spigot over a toilet to drink from. I saw 2 bathroom buildings, don't know if there were more. They are a bit hidden in the center of the campgrounds. Not the best tasting water but it's available. Really smelly when the poop truck comes and get the waste. This camp was far enough from the bathroom to not smell, great choice for that aspect. There WILL be a bear coming at least once in the night looking for food if you stay longer than 3+ days. I heard the bear breathing at night but it's paws must have been really quiet walking around. It did not come again after the first night. I walked along the downed logs at the site towards the forest and saw PLENTY of wrappers and tin foil trail right behind this campsite only. It must have had a good meal here in the past and comes back often. Overall it's not bad if you're not afraid of black bears. There were a lot of no shows near us and along the Campground, a lot of people actually want to camp here and it's always booked full in the summer. These people who don't show up or cancel should be banned 1+ year, use their name and credit card to ban them. That is the worst part about reserving, NO SHOWS. Great for sleep though, quiet.
