Yosemite Creek Campground offers a peaceful and scenic experience, with well-maintained sites, beautiful creek views, and friendly camp hosts. Many guests appreciate the cleanliness of the facilities and the opportunity to explore nearby trails. However, access can be challenging due to the rough dirt road, and some sites may have issues with privacy and amenities. Overall, it's a great choice for those seeking solitude away from the crowds.

The new reservation system makes it so much nicer! I can actually see the whole park! It’s so easy! And the food is so yummy in Curry!

I had 3 separate reservation. Two were nice but one was a bit disappointing. I had a campsite map and chose these 3 campsite according. My only complaint was the missing restroom. According to the campsite map there is a restroom near campsite #59. But, in actuality there wasn’t one there. So, if one needed to use the restroom it would require a really long walk to either near campsite 70 or near campsite 48. Other then that I really enjoyed camping in Yosemite Creek Campground. The Park Rangers we’re exceptionally helpful.

A bit grassy so early season mosquitos can be an issue. Great morning light then nice afternoon shade. The table is badly warped, and a bit snow crushed. Not as terrible as some but only partially usable.
No obvious tent pad.
Located just across from the old Tioga road extension being reopened to foot traffic: late July the Tiger Lillies, lupine and red Columbine were putting in a show.

Bathroom was locked. No signage to the effect. Next bathroom required driving. No management came by to service or otherwise.
Our site was remote and private.
The campground was empty despite signs and rec.gov indicating it was full. This one itself indicates total mismanagement.
The other sites were pathetic. Wood picnick tables were in unusable conditions. ( They leave them out all winter) missing boards, warped to the point of rendering unusable. Yosemite np has their name on this site. They have the labor resources and financial resources to do better. The main issue is you can only get one of these inferior sites sight unseen from rec.gov. Only when you arrive do you find you've been swindled.
