Great site and hosts! The hosts were close to our site (50 and 52 at the time of writing this) and were friendly and helpful. It was very clean and was overall a great experience. Good proximity to hiking trails and the curry village. The site was big enough to put our 21’ trailer and truck next to each other with enough room to open and close our doors. There was a shuttle stop a close distance away, which made it convenient to get around. There isn’t much foliage between campsites, but distance between them was good, so privacy was alright. More than enough room to have multiple tents, if that’s what you want. Bathroom was super close, take it as good or bad, though it didn’t have soap, so plan to bring your own. There was a water dump station, water bottler filler, and water spigot at the bathrooms which made doing dishes easy, though you have to them at your site. Bathrooms were clean and often empty. Overall a great experience without complaints, one of the nicest campgrounds I’ve stayed in. Hopefully will be coming backing in the future!

Great location with great views. Perfect for hiking to vernal falls. Mid March was the perfect time of year to be here, not too crowded, perfect weather and LOTS of waterfalls.

#85 - Very close to your neighbors. Sometimes it feels like you’re in each others site. Not for light sleepers, restroom is near so you can hear people walking to the rr throughout the night.

We don’t have to discuss the environment where this campground is in, it‘s just fantastic. But apart from that everthing else was fine as well: friendly and attentive staff, functional and clean restrooms and no problems with other campers that just enjoyed the same beautiy in the nature.

Nice clean camp sites, host was great. Bathrooms where heated but not the water. No showers at the campsite, had to go to Curry Village for showers. Shower signage poor...they are back off the beaten path by the pool.

We were in site 1 which has some pros and cons. The pros are no neighbors on one side and the camp hosts are really friendly. The cons are instead of neighbors you have dumpsters. That said, it doesn't matter because you are out seeing the valley all day not hanging in camp and the valley is AWESOME.
