What Guests Are Saying
Tuolumne Meadows Campground offers beautiful scenery, well-maintained facilities, and friendly staff, making it a great base for exploring Yosemite. Visitors appreciate the educational campfire talks, proximity to the river, and ranger-led programs. However, some campers noted the campground can be crowded, and bathroom facilities are limited, with a long walk to restrooms for some sites.

The experience was great overall, the typical NPS campground experience. I have one gripe: our campground was located next to the employee yurts. Overall not an issue - but one night (a Wed or Thurs), a group of employees decided to have a party until 1:30-2:00 am and made a considerable amount of noise, enough to keep us and our young kids awake. I find it very frustrating that the park's own employees would not respect the quiet hours of the campground (10 pm to 6 am) in which they stay or have any concern towards the experience of the paying guests.

Fantastic location, within hiking distance of Visitor Center, Cathedral, Soda Springs, and both Dana and Lyell rivers as well as the market. Campground was nicely laid out, lots of variety, very clean and ample restrooms, etc. SUPER kudos to the rangers on duty when we checked in and out - they were knowledgeable about campsites, fishing opportunities, hiking trails, etc., very personable and we felt really welcomed. Would stay here again on any trip.

Enjoyed a fine campsite in this iconic location. Very quiet/peaceful. A short walk to the well-stocked Tuolumne Meadows Store.

Campsites fairly spaces out, make sure you check the size of the bear boxes as they are on the smaller side but overall a great stay. Worth mentioning that the bathrooms were very well maintained as well. Great experience.

The campground is directly across from the meadows and adjacent to the Tuolumne River, providing plenty of experiences in nature within walking distance. The campground itself is simple. Some of the internal roads are dirt/gravel. The campsite driveways can be narrow and difficult to back in larger trailers. Trees provide great shade. The rangers are friendly and helpful. There is a low-frills general store with groceries a short walk from the camp site. Do not expect cell phone reception or wi-fi (you are camping!). Generator hours are reasonable if you need it. I appreciate that I didn't have to fuss about selecting a campsite and instead they are assigned for you by the ranger upon arrival. However, please note that many sites are not level at all and will require you to put your RV on blocks. Luckily, we were assigned a flat site. There is no gas station nearby, even though park maps may indicate there is one. This is a beautiful, relaxing place. My kids loved playing in the river and exploring the nearby trails. I miss it already.
