The signage was a joke. The clerk at check‑in rushed through the details, mumbling so fast the important info was lost. By then it was late, I was beat, and my only goal was to get the camp set up. We ended up at a tent site (jupe tent) that was dusty, damp, and downright foul—only to realize it was the wrong one. Between the darkness and the useless signs, finding our actual spot was hopeless.

Between the darkness and the useless signs, finding our actual spot was hopeless. We finally relocated, got everything pitched, and then discovered our new neighbors: an RV with a deafening generator. Two nights of that racket wasn’t an option. We toughed out one sleepless night and pulled out at dawn. If I'd known the full extent of the hassle that night, we would've just slept in the truck. Never go back

This RV park is extremely convenient for visiting Yosemite and the WiFi is excellent however; the spots are tighter than any RV park we’ve ever visited. We have a compact truck camper yet we still had to remove the picnic table and coordinate entrances/exits with two of our neighbors which is completely unacceptable. The bathrooms/showers were filthy and the electricity that we paid for required... This RV park is extremely convenient for visiting Yosemite and the WiFi is excellent however; the spots are tighter than any RV park we’ve ever visited. We have a compact truck camper yet we still had to remove the picnic table and coordinate entrances/exits with two of our neighbors which is completely unacceptable. The bathrooms/showers were filthy and the electricity that we paid for required an extension cord to a completely different site. Beware, some sites have no sewer hook-up and there’s not a dump station.

It is only 30 minutes from Yosemite Valley, and located in a beautiful area. Loved the beach access to the river and the tent cabins were really cute. Rvs were loud but expected, I feel like the people were quiet and respectful though! Wish there were more options for bear boxes, but I loved the front staff. So sweet!

This is undoubtedly the worst tent camping site I've ever stayed at. The sites are -literally- 6 feet apart from one another. There is absolutely no privacy at all. I booked two nights and didn't bother staying for the second night, even when I knew I wasn't going to get the money back. I was next to a loud drunk group and a family that showed up late and started cooking dinner after 10pm. Quiet h... This is undoubtedly the worst tent camping site I've ever stayed at.

I was next to a loud drunk group and a family that showed up late and started cooking dinner after 10pm. Quiet hours are NOT enforced by host at all. People were up and making noise well into the night, all within feet of me trying to sleep in my tent. Do not stay here!

We arrived for the night with the RV and discovered that there was also the option of using the services that the hotel offers, such as a games room with a snooker and ping-pong table and a heated indoor pool with a jacuzzi. We enjoyed it so much that we stayed for another night. High quality Wi-Fi.
