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.

Beautiful starry night view. Wish I was able
To stay more. I didn’t get a site number until
I entered the campsite and hoped the campsite host was at the site and available.

Campground is a bit packed, that is other people were very close to us (and not always very quiet)

THE best campground Yosemite has to offer. If you want to get away from the Valley for a few days, this is the spot. The campgrounds are nice and spaced out, and you feel much closer to nature given that the area is not as busy as the valley. The campsite is backed up against the forest, so we were able to spot deer (and even a bear) at a distance. The only advice I have is to prepare for it to get COLD at night, and to bring lanterns/flashlights because the bathrooms can be a bit of a walk in the dark depending where you're located. There's a short walk down to the river which is absolutely beautiful, and Tenaya Lake is a short drive away. The area is also full of gorgeous hikes, so be sure to ask a park ranger for a recommendation.

Great location with many hikes nearby - either flat and easy or long and difficult. The meadows are beautiful at sunset!
Covid has been kind to Yosemite. The closures and visitor limits have restored peace, quiet, and rejuvenation to the park.

Unfortunately dogs are not allowed on trails, in streams/ lakes or at beaches so we were rather constrained as to what we could do. The campsite is great, next to a stream. The bathrooms were clean enough but the water was cold (freezing at night and early morning) which was a bummer. We enjoyed our trip overall.

Gorgeous campsite near the river, with beautiful views of the meadow in just a short walk all around. People were friendly and this felt more authentic and quiet than down in the valley. Toilets were clean and had paper. Potable water was fresh and throughout. Strongly recommend !

Tuolumne Meadows campground is an "old school" campground more designed for tent or small vehicle camping. This is one of the things we love about it. The trail to Lyell Canyon is at one edge of the campground which was handy for hiking without having to drive to the trailhead. This year, 2021, the nearby camp store was not well stocked and the Grill was permanently closed early in August without explanation. No shuttle bus service was available, but the location of the campground is still as beautiful as ever and it was a joy to be able to camp there.

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.

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.
