The bathroom closest to site 214 didn’t have a water filler!

We enjoyed our stay. Our site was pretty close to the river. Plenty of space overall but really close to two of the neighbor spaces.

All good. Clean and campers were respectful. Campsites were a bit close, but that's what happens when everyone wants to camp in Yosemite Valley. I would be happy if campfires were eliminated. I get the appeal, but the smoke can be a bit much.

Campground close to shuttle service, Curry Village, Mirror lake and a short walk to the Awhanee. Most campsites small, and close to neighbors. Campground quiet at night.

Site 123 separated from next site by a curb. Too close for comfort.
Disturbing newer trend, Someone gets a site for as long as possible then cycles all their friends to come visit for several days each. Spot next door at one time had three different camper vehicle occupants.

A very well-maintained campground. The bathrooms were clean and well-stocked. It is conveniently located to hike the Vernal and Nevada Falls Trail.

great location and time of year for tent camping in Yosemite. being prepared for any weather helped ensure comfort in colder nights. Glacier point road fortunately just opened and a quick trip to Mariposa grove too made for a fun day. having bikes was great and access to creature comforts at Curry Village is a bonus. but nothing beats a dayhike into elevation on the various trails.
