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.

Long drive from the paved road and limited signage to get there.

After paying the gate fee of 35 dollars and showing the guard/ranger that I had a reservation, she told me go to the valley floor. After an hour of looking for the camp site I stumbled into a campground ranger office where a ranger told me it’s 11/2 hour to the camp site and the last 5 mi is a bumpy four wheel drive vehicle not my Tesla. She said a ranger might get us a site in the valley floor but it was too late. The reservation site should have stated the last 5 mi isn’t paved and needs a high clearance vehicle. We ended up staying at the Tenaya Lodge for some unreasonable cost.

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.

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.
