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.

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!!

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.
