Good campground. A little far from the valley, about 45 minutes. Amenities nearby weren’t great, but if you are only there for a night it’s fine. Nearby river is nice since there are no showers at the site or closer than the valley.

Spacious and level RV site with close path down to river, sleep to babbling brook sounds all night, site in quietest loop on the grounds. Rangers were very friendly. Dumping and water fill station less than a mile away. Could not catch a fish!!!

The setting along the Merced River is beautiful and peaceful, and the proximity to Mariposa Grove was great. We had an excellent stay.

It would be amazing to have showers at this campground! Also, the amphitheater area could use some repairs.

Fantastic site, and only a 35min drive to Yosemite Valley! The sounds from the river (which was flowing late-spring/early-summer) are beautiful and the amenities are perfect for RVing or tent camping.
