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.

Awesome campsite. Rangers were very nice and friendly. Campsite is near beautiful meadows with streams, a minute from the nearby store, and 15 min from Tenaya Lake

Our site H039 was a walk in site. The group of campsites here were newly made as the campground has been remodeled.
We could not find a flat spot to pitch our tent. They basically put a table and bear box there but failed to do any kind of landscaping. The ground was sloping and very uneven with not one spot suitable for a tent. Also the sites are extremely close together. We didn't even stay, it was that bad.

It's hard to give Yosemite a bad review but you also need to realize what the campground is like and what you should expect. My negatives of this review is that the campground lots are CLOSE to each other... like you need to understand that your neighbors are close. The other negative is in the reservation process for Tuolumne site is hard due to there being no cell service and therefore not being able to change or modify reservations is non-existence (unless you have Starlink). We had 1 night reserved and kept asking if there was another night open and kept being told "no" only to find out once we got in cell service that there were multiple sites open but the volunteers and park service employees did not know.

We are so thankful to the staff at Tuolumne Meadows Campground. Our experience was excellent! Clean restrooms, courteous rangers, pristine nature.
We are grateful to be allowed to have our dog with us too!!

Cant do much wrong at Tuolumne Meadows. Campsite G21 was a bit tight to actually fit 6 persons on, but we made it happen.

No issues with campsite.
It was 1.5 hours away from the main visitor center.
Zero cell reception.

If you want to really enjoy all that Tuolomne Meadows has to offer, DO NOT bring your dog. There is literally nowhere you can go, but walk on the paved roads, sidewalks, parking lots and campground roads. Much different than in Yosemite Valley, where there are numerous roads and paths that are paved/developed and dogs are allowed to walk on leash with their humans to many of the Park’s attractions.
The new and improved Tuolomne Meadows campground was nicely set up, but beware of splinters on the new picnic tables. Site C016 was nice, but very close to neighbors. Do bring a headlamp or lantern when using the restrooms because there is NO LIGHTING! There are NO HOOKS to hang a towel or toiletry bag either, and no electrical outlets. NPS, please do better.
