No showers. Park rangers very nice. Loud neighbors. No hand soap in bathrooms. Could be better at enforcing quiet hours. Nice that it is walkable to curry village. But ten showers for like hundreds of people is rough!

Great campground. The sites are close to one another, but that didn’t bother us. This campground was so hard to get into. We
only could get one night. We would stay here again.

Site 172 was fairly even, but it might be a bit tight for a large tent or multiple tents.

Site 209 was fairly flat and close to the bathroom.
The only downfall was that there was no shade in the afternoon.

Our camp spot (119) didn’t have any shade so it was pretty warm but thankful to have a spot close to the trailhead. The gentleman at registration was super nice and very helpful.
