{"text"=>"Always an absolute joy and amazing experience.\nEvery year we try to get reservations for at least a few days of camping in Yosemite Valley but as soon as they release the campsites we try to grab them but they are taken within minutes of the release. This year we were blessed with a week stay in North Pines Campground in July, which is a total miracle. We always have a great time sharing our camping experiences with my wife’s family. This year was so great having our campsite for those with tents and my Sister in law had an RV at their site. We had the Grill and Upright Stove which worked best for some of the meals and the RV accommodated the other venues. We enjoyed swimming in the Merced River for refreshment. The Trams were running from Curry Village to Yosemite Village and the rest of the normal Valley Destinations. They were still working on construction for the Campground destinations.\nCurry Village and Yosemite Village always have any grocery items that you would want if you forgot them or just simply ran out.\nThere are plenty of hiking trails for all levels of hiking that you and your family and friends can enjoy.\nI recommend having All Trails App and the preloaded trails to assist you in navigating your hiking along with bringing plenty of water please.\nAlready missing Yosemite and looking forward to our next trip.", "languageCode"=>"en"}
