We stayed for only one night and immediately regretted not staying longer. The campground is beautifully located, with large pitches and a river just nearby. We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.

lovely area along the river. campground is large and busy. restrooms were okay with flush toilets. campsite was poor - slopey no shade very exposed. location was somewhat inconvenient - close to sequoias but far from the rest of the park.

Beautiful campground. We drove to the valley one day (excellent view from Tunnel View). We drove a short distance the next day and checked out Mariposa Grove. Supposedly all spots were reserved, but we saw many unoccupied sites. They had a nightly ranger presentation. Bathrooms were very clean.

This was a good spot as it was close to the bathrooms, but we missed a lot that there are no electric hookups in all the Yosemite Valley campgrounds, nor water. Hope you could put this as the electric generators can only be used during restricted hours, and internet is limited so we needed to use AC/DC for the starlink and be connected for work and business.

Staff very friendly. Very spacious. The river is about a 100 ft away from the campsite a very short walk. Amazing spot
