The campsite was full of litter when we arrived. The sites are close together but we expected that. Having river access was amazing! No problem with loud generators near us, thankfully. The women’s bathroom lacked soap and had to go to men’s. Stayed 2 nights.

Un bon emplacement pour wawona, mariposa grove et Yosemite valley. Ce camping permet d'être déjà dans le parc et d'éviter la foule. On entend la route mais avec des boules quies pas de problème et cela n'est pas gênant de toute façon. La rivière à proximité est très agréable pour se rafraîchir. Les gardes du camping sont très sympathiques.

They do not have camp hosts on site, so domestic disputes and the like go on all hours. People next to us were screaming f bombs at each other and throwing stuff. When they weren't doing that their small children were shrieking every five minutes.
The bathrooms are ok, things would be on the floor for days and there was no soap in the dispenser for 2 days. I'm used to another campground where the hosts are checking them a few times a day. Lastly, we had trouble closing one of the trash doors after dark and were afraid bears were going to show up, again no help. When a ranger was driving by the next day I talked to him about my concern and not knowing what to do and he said well no bears showed up so problem solved, really?!

We appreciated the restrooms and flush toilets. Campsites were pretty close together but our neighbors were nice. Would return.

The staff was really nice and everything was super clean. The "ranger talk" was also fun.

Great campground with a riverfront. Decent bathrooms, and spacious sites. Some have great shade coverage, others not so much
