What Guests Are Saying
Yosemite Creek Campground offers a beautiful and serene setting, with well-maintained sites and clean restrooms. Many campers appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, proximity to nature, and the opportunity to see wildlife. However, access can be challenging due to a rough and lengthy road, and some visitors noted issues with noise from nearby campers and site cleanliness upon arrival. Overall, it's a great spot for those seeking solitude and an immersive nature experience.

It is a problem that campgrounds are on reservation only, and that it is possible to reserve online only. We did not pay attention beforehand and it was very hard to reserve once on site for lack of connection inside the park (although the person at the entrance told us the opposite).
Once we had managed to reserve (we had to go all the way to the valley to be able to connect), we noticed that a sign at the entrance of the campsite said "Full", enevn though it was nearly empty.
Why not keep part of the campgrounds on a first come first served basis, or at least make reservations possible at the information office?

We loved our campsite and had a great time. The road in was in pretty bad shape but we saw this as a good thing as it kept the campground at a lower capacity giving us more privacy between us and other campers. We expected gravel, but not large ruts so that could be improved upon but we took it slow (from start to finish it took us between 18-20 minutes each day twice a day to navigate the road up to Tioga) and grew to enjoy the experience. We knew that each morning we would see deer grazing in the meadows and squirrels and chipmunks dart across in front of us. Saw grouse also! The campground was nicely laid out and bathrooms were cleaned daily. Overall it was an incredible experience and if I come back to Yosemite NP, I would definitely stay at Yosemite creek campground (at the same site (70) too!)

This is a beautiful campsite, serene, quiet, and away from others but WARNING-- it is very challenging to get to! Go in through the Yosemite Tioga Pass Entrance. Drive in about 36 miles and the campground road will be on the right. You'll see the Yosemite Creek Campground Sign. NOW THIS IS WHERE IT GETS DIFFICULT. You have to follow this very bumpy road 21 miles (about 45 minutes) until you get there. I was no expecting that road to take as long as it did. Conclusion-- terrible to drive to, but beautiful & quiet!!
