1st timer came from out of the country during the summer. Was able to snag a camp booking quite late. Came into the site with low expectations (even with the photos on the booking site). But was pleasantly surprised by the site.

Great campsite, decently well maintained, beautiful setting. Rangers seem to come around once a day, or twice a day to check on the campsites. The location was pretty tricky to get to.

Stunning campground. Some sites are very rocky so take note before booking if you are using a larger tent.
Big note, follow the directions to the access road from recreation.gov exact! Do not follow google maps. When you pass an unmarked road that looks like a service road you should not go down where recreation.gov says the campground entrance should be, thats the road. When we went there was only a small hand written sign in ballpoint pen on the opposite side of the road marking the campground. Totally missed it and went way past as GPS does NOT give proper direction.
Difficult to find, 20 minute drive down a dirt road to get to, but worth it.

Quiet secluded location to get away from the crowds once back at your campsite.

The campsite itself was amazing and very peaceful. There are black bears walking around but just yell or throw rocks near them, not at them and they will walk away peacefully. But the road to Yosemite Creek to get off the main road and drive down this dirt off-road uneven full of rocks was brutal even on my 4x4 lifted truck. I wish they would disclose that on the description of the site. It's about a 2 mi plus drive down to get to the creek. Definitely not for the faint camper. You definitely want to be in the middle of nowhere and it is a pain to get up and down. If you're planning on going to your site more than once a day. Just be aware of the road is brutal up and down to get to the sites.
