The campground had everything we needed. No showers but we knew that before booking. The rangers were great and helped us to book another night when a cancellation occurred. Location was great, around 40 mins from main visiting area of Yosemite

We lucked out with a last min reservation in June and it was perfect! The campsite (003) was close to a great spot in the river to swim, was shady, felt secluded, yet still right across from the bathrooms, and had plenty of space for our 6-person tent. This was our first time in Yosemite and we were just thrilled with the spot. The Ranger Talk was super informative and even our squirmy 5-year old listened to the whole thing. Great time! I do recommend bringing some firewood as both times we went to the store down the road, it was sold out.

The site was perfect for us. Wasn’t too crowded or loud and had flushable toilets and running water. Nice little getaway
