Carrie the camp ground manager was extremely helpful and kind during our stay. Toilets were spotless. Would re visit if we came back to Yosemite NP. All the best Carrie, Hazel and Ryan (UK)

Dry Camping with no running water facilities but very private sites that were clean and well maintained. About a mile from Evergreen Lodge where you can enjoy dinner at the Tavern.

This campground is small and very basic. The sites are spaced out more than the sites at Yosemite. It was a great location to stay the day before entering Yosemite. It was very quiet and the star gazing at night was great.

What a nice campground! About 3.5 miles down a small side road. Sites are fairly private, lots of trees. There is a stream that runs at the back of the campground. The campground empties out during the day when most people head into Yosemite. Very easy access to the park. The new camp host Carrie is very nice and does a good jog of keeping things clean!

@JessEA455D6039 · Camped on Sep 12, 2024 at Campsite #9

Most of the campsites had privacy. Campground host were very helpful & pleasant. 10 was a great site. 19 was nice also.

@HeathGC161AF4F · Camped on Sep 11, 2024 at Campsite #24

This campground and this site is always great. But on this trip there was a new camp host I hadnt seen before and they were great. Kept the place nice and clean. The restrooms were clean and stocked. The host really was just great.

This is a lovely little campground handy to the Big Oak Flat entrance to Yosemite. Other than the daily precarious drive into Yosemite Valley, this is a much nicer camping option than being in the park itself. Quiet and away from the crowds. I never actually met the hosts, but they were present every day and did a great job of keeping the place looking good. These had to be the cleanest national forest toilets I've ever encountered.

Wonderful place

@CraigB4500034 · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #9

The Camp Hosts were great. Friendly, knowledgable, flexible, helpful, encouraging, safety-minded, and thorough. We did not have water in our part of the campground so that made things a bit challenging but, it could not be helped due to a leaking pipe requiring repair. We enjoyed ourselves a lot.

@ZacharyWFA2558 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #8

This is a lovely quiet campground not far from the big oak flats entrance! I loved the grills at each camp site and the space between sites. While the toilets are but toilets they are the nicest pit toilets I have ever used. You can tell the campground management really cares about it.

@GeoffroyP40A45 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #27

Camp site well organized1 space for the car, one for the tent (Best one during my road trip).1 space to eat.1 BBQ, but unfortunately, it's an old and partially broken.The box to protect bear works as we have see trace of bear the morning near us...Toilets are clean except at 8am, when they clean them and so we have an unsupportable odor when you expect to have your breakfast ! 1 star lose for that.

@AmandaABCD7E42 · Camped on Aug 15, 2024 at Campsite #18

Smaller campsites, especially around the campfire ring but loved the tent pads for set up. Not crowded and so peaceful. Bathrooms were just open toilets but they provided hand sanitizer. Sites had lots of trees but still during the day had sun. We had a pop up which was great to add some more shade.The new hosts have been there for about 6 weeks and were very nice and helpful. They came by each morning and brought us a pamphlet for Hetch Hetchy and recommended a hike near by that was perfect for my parents and I. Also, gave us some ideas for getting into Yosemite without a reservation.

@HollyC7934265 · Camped on Aug 8, 2024 at Campsite #28

An absolutely lovely, peaceful, clean campground. We always have a wonderful time here.

@KerriH9218976 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #19

What a lovely campground! We cant wait to come back! The host was friendly, the toilets were always clean and Yosemite was so close! It took about an hour to drive into the Valley and only 30 minutes to Tuolumne Grove!

@DustinG5D2DD15 · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #13

Beautiful, well maintained campsite. Camp host was very friendly and helpful. Great location. Would definitely go back.

@WILLIAMM503355 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #29

Dimond O is a good alternative in the summer when the valley floor is booked and too hot. Tuolumne Meadows is cooler than the valley floor and is easily accessible from Dimond O. This campground has the middle fork of the Tuolumne River next to it so it's a good place to be by a clean cool stream.

@SusanneKA42DE6 · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #5

Tolle Lage im Wald, schne Campsites. Es gibt leider kein Waschbecken, aber das ist aufgrund der Lage im National Forest zu verschmerzen.

@RobertG6814422 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #19

Host's were great and the restrooms were always clean. Love the trip!!

@Christoph82403 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #5

Good experience

@MelanieAFC61DC · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #26

This has been my go to campground when visiting Yosemite. Beautiful spot with access to the river. Just returned from our 7th trip there. Camp hosts were great. Bathrooms clean however they are pit toilets which is the only reason I didnt give 5 stars.

@KatrinBBFDB8B7 · Camped on Jun 5, 2024 at Campsite #6

The campground was great.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
