Sites are well maintained. The staff is friendly and informative. The rules are explained thoroughly and clearly. I recommend that travelers stay for a minimum of 3 or 4 days to experience all beauty Yosemite has to offer. There is so much to see and do. I will absolutely come back again.

Great spot to camp and enjoy Yosemite. The camp is close to the entrance of the mist trail to Nevada falls, and Curry Village for quick shopping 🛒.
