Site #34 was very clean. Table was a little lopsided. Only on men's toilet in the B loop working. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

Good location, near the Mariposa Grove and other sequoias trees. There is a nice river next to the campground where you can go swimming. Nice experience on general :)

The site is next to the creek provides excellent access for the kids to play and bath. Rest room was clean, but no light. You will have to bring your own flash light as camping. The only down side is that it's far from the village center.

Rangers were nice and helpful at check in. We did the yosemite shuffle and had no issues in the process of switching sites. Found a nice secluded spot by the river and hung out nearly all day. Site 85 was a bit slanted but lots of tree coverage for shade/hammocks. 92 was a bit bigger and more flat but only 2 trees so lots of sun and heat. Didn't really matter though, the river is right across the way! Bathrooms were cleaned daily and always stocked. Can't wait to be back!

Lovely camp ground! All of the amenities are clean and functional. A big plus is the stream to cool off in the summer months.

An absolutely amazing campsite by the river. You couldn’t get a better view and we swam in the river every day. Toilets could do with a bit more upkeep eg soap in the bathroom but generally ok. Would definitely go back.

This was the worst camping experience ever. A family booked three sites (60, 62, and 63) and treated ours like their personal hallway, constantly cutting through and shouting across from one side to the other. Zero privacy, nonstop disturbance. On top of that, this site has the water tap, so random people kept coming over to wash. Absolutely unacceptable and not worth it.

I enjoy going camping in that location because the weather is ideal for relaxation. One of the highlights of the experience is that the restrooms are consistently clean and comfortable, making the stay even more enjoyable.🤍
