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.

Unfortunately the most beautiful campground in Yosemite has fallen victim to city money. What used to be the most majestic family campground in the high sierras is now a wide paved highway, catering to high speed campers. Smaller sites, faster cars and a non camper or environment friendly “search and rescue” camp, moved in during the unnecessary renovations. Such a shame.

One of the most beautiful places in the world. We love Tuolumne Meadows and Yosemite. The campground doesn’t have showers which is a little rough for us, but we made do. It’s an incredible place.

Campground is finally open after years of renovation and repairs. The sites are the basically the same same, shaded on a slope. The gas station was not replaced. Campground was full on a weekday, reservations should be made early. There was not a lot of privacy because the sites are close together. But the isolation from overcrowded Yosemite Valley makes for a very relaxing experience. Spectacular scenery all around. I saw deer and hawks. Short trails along Toulumne River are flat and peaceful. Trail to nearby Cathedral Lakes (4.5 miles one way) is crowded but the beauty is rewarding. Overnight backpacks are numerous. Young Lakes ( about 7 miles one way) is steep but with three different lakes in one area you are bound to find the perfect camp spot. Lakes around Vogelsang Camp closer but not as scenic. Be prepared for possible rain showers. Sun was out for me on last trip.

As ever, the most beautiful spot in the park (for me). The campground had been renovated/restored, and is lovely and easy to walk around, with easy access to the river, the camp stope, and trailheads.
The worst part of it are the new fire pits, which are very deep and inconvenient (ours had the extra plus of being beneath a triangle of trees with low growing branches). There are two grills which lower into and over the pit, and the upper one has handles that stick out far enough (and at just at the height of our knees) to teach us a lesson or two (or more) at keeping our distance. Since the pit is so deep, there was no point in enjoying a fire once it got dark, as we had to sit almost directly against the pit to get any warmth. I understand these pits may have been built with the idea of avoiding sparks from spreading, but from our side (up on the hill) we could look down and see MANY fires blazing high above the fire pits... they are almost an invitation to build a fire as high as possible.

Conveniently located near numerous trail heads when staging for backcountry hikes.

Sites are super tiny and very close to each other. Site C074 flat area to put up tent(s) is right next to the parking for this site and site C075. Due to the close proximity to the surrounding sites the campground is very noisy and you get smoked out no matter what. The only good thing about the campground is the location. Other than that I would not recommend it. The signage to get around in the campground is a joke. We got lost multiple times and we observed several other people getting lost and going the wrong way. Ranger came around maybe once a day and did not reminded folks of the campground rules.
