This is the campground for a quieter Yosemite experience. The campsites have a lot of room and you feel like you are alone. It's stunning to be on the river!!

nice campground Liked the river, but some campsites do not offer much shade or privacy, unfortunately we had one of those. But the majority were not like that and the facility is clean and seems well kept.

You can access to the river from the campground, which is less crowded and very peaceful. A very nice campground in the Yosemite national park. Highly recommend staying in this campground.

A great campground just inside Yosemite. Campsites are somewhat close together but there is flush toilets.
