Overall good experience. Quiet/friendly neighbors, no complaints. Pretty much as expected from NPS campground. Very short walk to facilities, which seemed well maintained.

The campground was ok, individual space was large enough but close to neighboring location. Not so many restrooms and very unclean during the week-end. It was much better, during the week. Nice atmosphere in the evening at the fire places.
The park is large so for sure, there are long driving distances from one area of interest to the other.

A bit detached from the valley but very nice spot. We would book it again.

Super easy to access the site. No one in any of the closer sites, so very quiet for me. Have camped at Hodgdon twice before and level sites is a not the norm, this one was!! Very cozy, so 1 or 2 people for #73 is perfect.

This was the only place I could get a site without booking far in advanced. Everyone was very nice. Seemed to be well maintained and clean. The sites are close together so if you're looking for privacy this campground may not be for you. It was super quite, especially during the day. The only real drawback is it's about 45 minutes to get to Yosemite Valley. The upside is you may possible be able to get a site on shirt notice or not have to book many months ahead. The drive to the valley isn't that bad and scenic enough to make it a pleasurable drive. Overall a good experience and would stay there again.

We stayed here four nights and it was great. Everything was nice, bathrooms were centrally located and clean.

Really great site! The ground is relatively flat, parking is super close, and the forest behind the site is beautiful!

We had a great experience. No hiccups, had some bears visit at night, but no issues. Our spot was close to restrooms.
Spots are kind of close to each other but no one showed up on one side or behind us and the other ones were towards the opposite side so we didn't feel crowded

Felt kind of like an airport with people coming and going at all hours. We were only there to sleep before heading into Yosemite Valley on our way from the Bay area but it was hard to sleep and difficult to find our campsite in the dark.
