Staying at this campground is no joke but looking back, I'm so happy we did. The drive down is very treacherous and laden with potholes. Couple this with how remote it increasingly becomes the further you get away from the main road and cell service, it's quite scary if you don't have an alternative way to communicate in case of an emergency. I would definitely bring this if I stay here again, but despite all the above, it was a beautiful and secluded campsite and probably one of my favorite nights spent in the park. Most campgrounds in the valley are packed full of people and you don't get as much connection with nature. I loved feeling truly alone out here and highly recommend the treacherous drive down to Yosemite Creek if you are up for the challenge!

This is a great isolated campground. Very quiet, and not busy like the Valley.

The only site that can be reserved just a few days ahead. With that, the remote location and bumpy access road are acceptable trade offs. SUV is preferable but I did see some sedans. The site itself is beautiful. Totally enjoyed my time there.

First of all Yosemite Creek Campground it's beautiful!!! I was lucky to stayed on a great campsite :)
Be ready for the 5 mi drive from the Tioga Rd to the campground and part of that road (Old Tioga Rd) it's a dirt road.
Thanks to everyone who takes care of that beautiful place!!!
