Very nice, spacious site. The river was behind us. The bathroom was very primitive. There wasn't even a light! But there was soap & toilet paper.

We had a very nice site by the river. The area was clean. The check in staff were pleasant and efficient. A gray water sink at each bathroom location would be appreciated. The demand for reservations was intense, requiring Taylor Swift concert-like coordination to get a reservation, but our experience at the campground was great.

Beautiful, quiet location by the river. Clean bathrooms. A respite from the busyness of Yosemite Valley.
