Good campground if you want to be in the park / close to the valley but can’t get a valley spot… otherwise not very many pros. Sites are VERY close together and there was a lot of light and noise throughout the night.

Very busy campground, not very much space between camping sites, people walk right through your picknick table area. Alot of novice campers and rv campers with too much equipment that makes noise. It was 90° on the day I stayed and every campsite had a campfire. I was very smokey.
I have been to Yosemite many times over the years. This was the busiest campground I have stayed at.
The park rangers were very professional and knowledgeable about the area I was camping at, and helpful with my stay.
Thank you Yosemite

Camp host did not enforce quiet hours. Various campers were up until 2am being very loud, including sites directly next to the camp host. Some campers had floodlights at their sites which made it impossible to sleep in a tent.

Easy to get in, easy to set up. Very friendly staff. We stayed in a pull through spot with 35 ft of vehicle and had room to spare. We tent camped and most of the spots are not level for a tent. It was manageable and we had a restful night's sleep. Restrooms were clean and easy to get to.

Campsites are too close together. Had to walk through another campsite to get to my own campsite. There was no path to the restroom, we just had to walk through other campsites.

Hodgdon meadow is nice in that it is less packed than Yosemite Valley, but it is still pretty crowded. On a summer weekday, it is not possible to walk to the restrooms without walking through at least one other person's campsite. It was an easy drive into the valley in the morning (we left before 8 and still the parking was getting close to full by the time we had arrived at Yosemite Village.). There is no place in the world as magical as Yosemite in my humble opinion, but the crowds are pretty impressive. On the other hand the tourists are all happy there, which makes the crowds more tolerable.
