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.

We loved our stay at Tuolumne Meadows, the weather was blue skies and gorgeous. One thing we liked the most was it felt far less congested and busy compared to down around Yosemite Valley. If you're looking for an easy, relaxing walk go walk the Meadows. They are beautiful and full of wildlife and flowers. The campground was nice, we just did a walk-up in the morning and were lucky to get the same spot for a couple of days. If you have some extra time, go for a drive down to Lee Vining, it is a beautiful drive and you can check out Mono Lake while you're there (AND find Cell Phone Coverage if needed). We will DEFINITELY be returning!

Excellent: Dana Circle campfires, rangers both interpretative & administrative.
Excellent: Presentations at Parsons Lodge
Not good: bear boxes at campsites are too small, too low to the ground, and 1 box is NOT enough.
Not good: toilets in restrooms frequently overflow.
Making reservations for 14 consecutive nights at Tuolumne Meadows campsites is nearly impossible in a single attempt. We can get a reservation for 2 or 3 days during first 20 minutes recreation.gov is open then we must monitor their website for next 5 months for availability. Anyone who has stayed at TM wants to return!

Has no electrics, bathroom has single light, pretty dark, no showers. Very simple and beautiful. Small camping equipment shop and café around the corner. Bear habitat. Need to store food etc in container outside at night. 1 hr drive from yosemite valley.

Apply for the half dome lottery two days in advance. Regardless if the application is chosen, plan to make the amazing hike. It is truly amazing.

We were given a site right next to Lyell creek and it was a great jumping off pint for day hikes and fly fishing. The grill down the street served up some great food and the surrounding settings couldn’t have been more beautiful. It was me, my wife and our 3 and 5 year old and because it was late in the year, the nights were cold. I fished every day and was able to catch a brown trout nearby our campsite. We spent the last day packing up and driving to Tuolumne lodge where we parked and hiked to the twin bridges section of Tuolumne meadows. This was a trip I’ve been looking forward to for a long time and I can’t wait to go back.

We visited in late September. Despite many vacancies and having reserved in advance, we were assigned to share a camp site with another couple. This wasn’t a big deal, but was disappointing to not have a little Personal space. Other groups next to us had lanterns lit and were very loudly partying until 2:30 in the morning with a music system. Park services did not seem to be doing rounds or addressing this. My husband finally went over and talk to them as the noise continued to escalate into the early morning hours. I’m all about a bit of fun, having a beer and enjoying yourself while camping, but the close quarter spots and lack of consideration or park patrol wasn’t what we were expecting from this camp area and definitely tainted our experience in the park.

Tuolumne was beautiful and the facilities were in great shape. The only downside is I lost my National Parks pass in the parking lot that leads to Puppy Boulders.
Overall, we had an amazing time!

Camped in a 16' RV. Had a little bit of difficulty getting the vehicle somewhat level. Beautiful surroundings , really enjoyed Gaylor Lakes Basin if you are hiking in the area. Campground bathrooms are what they are, but the one near us was a little bit in need of maintenance even by campground standards. Still a great experience, highly recommend.
