A little more work could be done to level out campsites for small trailers and vans. Bathroom was difficult to access for a handicapped camper in our group due to the elevation change getting into the bathroom and the small doors. Staff amazing. Campos very informative and friendly.

Rangers are always nice, and every year we enjoy reserving a group site. The only issue this year was that we were very surprised and disappointed that there was no ice in the valley general store or the local gas station close to our campground. We visited both areas a couple of times, and the same response "No Ice"!

Spent 7 days at Hodgdon Meadows, this was our base as we traveled to Tenaya Lake, Tuolumne Meadows, the and the Yosemite Valley. About a 25 minute drive down to the Valley. Campground has running water and flushing toilet’s. Read the notes on every site and determine what suits you best. 10 stars

The reviews are right, the site is on a steep area (not crazy), and has a little area where is flat, we have an 2 person tent and had no issues to fit in there. It is close to the other campsites so don’t expect privacy, you’ll feel like you’re group camping with strangers. Overall it was a great experience!

Hands down, my favorite campground in Yosemite- campsites are large, the campground is quiet and well maintained, and the location is perfect for people who aren’t into being right in the valley.

Nice location for hiking away from the valley. Like all big campgrounds it can be noisy, but quiets down at night and the stars are amazing. It's great to see families with children enjoying nature

Great campground, very nice and helpful staff. For summer, you are more likely to find a spot here than in the valley.

Great campground. The hosts were attentive and visible throughout our stay. No one was loud or obnoxious. The bathrooms were clean and functioning the whole time too, so much better than last year. We like staying here and don’t mind driving around YNP to our favorite spots.
