Wonderful family friendly and peaceful campground. The Merced river is gorgeous and you can float and swim in it right below your campsite if you get a spot on the river. Highly recommend it!

This is a great site I would book again. The slope of this site is actually very helpful if it starts to rain, as it did on my visit. I like that it backs up to the open hillside. I was a little wary of the hollowed out fallen tree at the back of the campsite and the wildlife trail beside it! The restroom is just down a small hill and was very clean. It even had soap which was greatly appreciated. Sites 90 and 92 are very close by and sometimes the noise level is louder than I would like. The only reason this is four stars is that there are no showers at this campground loop C.

Loved the location of this campground. It was great to be a little bit further away from the crowds in the valley and being able to swim in the creek was an extra bonus.

I enjoy going camping in that location because the weather is ideal for relaxation. One of the highlights of the experience is that the restrooms are consistently clean and comfortable, making the stay even more enjoyable.π€

An absolutely amazing campsite by the river. You couldnβt get a better view and we swam in the river every day. Toilets could do with a bit more upkeep eg soap in the bathroom but generally ok. Would definitely go back.

This was the worst camping experience ever. A family booked three sites (60, 62, and 63) and treated ours like their personal hallway, constantly cutting through and shouting across from one side to the other. Zero privacy, nonstop disturbance. On top of that, this site has the water tap, so random people kept coming over to wash. Absolutely unacceptable and not worth it.

Lovely camp ground! All of the amenities are clean and functional. A big plus is the stream to cool off in the summer months.

Rangers were nice and helpful at check in. We did the yosemite shuffle and had no issues in the process of switching sites. Found a nice secluded spot by the river and hung out nearly all day. Site 85 was a bit slanted but lots of tree coverage for shade/hammocks. 92 was a bit bigger and more flat but only 2 trees so lots of sun and heat. Didn't really matter though, the river is right across the way! Bathrooms were cleaned daily and always stocked. Can't wait to be back!

The site is next to the creek provides excellent access for the kids to play and bath. Rest room was clean, but no light. You will have to bring your own flash light as camping. The only down side is that it's far from the village center.
