Thoroughly enjoyed my brief stay here. Park ranger was extremely friendly and helpful. Stayed in spot 62. Beautiful. The biggest advantage of Hodgdon is also its biggest disadvantage. Its located immediately adjacent to the 120 park entry kiosk. That means its a great place settle in after arriving at the park, or to stage your departure, but its quite far from the valley and Village.

Beautiful location. Sites could be more level but tough terrain for that. Well located to a lovely section of the park, including the drive to stunning Olmstead Point.

Bathrooms were rather limited and dirty and the water is only cold. There are no showers on the campground

@CurtisA6919896 · Camped on Oct 24, 2024 at Campsite #75

The campground is fine, but it is quite far from most of the Yosemite highlights and there is no/low cell service.

We were VERY glad to snag a site at all, so were grateful to have had the opportunity to visit Yosemite. That said, we were not clear from our website reservation experience whether we were actually legal in our site which said tents only while we were in a 20 self-contained van. But the guy at the entrance booth said we were ok to go in. Honestly though, the campsites were REALLY close to each other. People were well-behaved and quiet enough as the evening progressed but there were just too many. I never used the restroom facilities.

The park rangers were excellent but the campground was shockingly primitive and very poorly designed. Few of the campsites were level, the toilet and washroom and other facilities were wholly inadequate. There were few if any picnic tables. We came from Portland Oregon and our experience in the national parks at Mt. Rainier and Crater Lake as well as in state and county campgrounds and in Canadian national and provincial park campgrounds was without exception far superior. It was an embarrassment that all the visitors who travelled across the country or from Europe or Asia had to endure such poor conditions. Yosemite is so significant both physically and historically for the American West, indeed the whole nation, that it is really sad that visitors experience is spoiled by a stay at Hodgdon campground.

We spent 2 nights at #51 in October 2024 and had a very nice stay! The parking is extremely close, the bathroom is also nearby but not too close that we noticed the lights or foot traffic at all and the bathroom was also fine and clean. Also it was not as cold as the Valley, which we appreciated in October! It's surrounded by trees within and outside the campsite, and just inside the park entrance, which we enjoyed and made the drive in worth it.

@IanP4661435782 · Camped on Oct 22, 2024 at Campsite #13

Secluded and with more privacy than other camp grounds we saw. 40 mins from the valley. If your going in not peak time then this is not a problem at all.

@Stephanie70236 · Camped on Oct 20, 2024 at Campsite #21

Very quiet

@SuzanneF371372 · Camped on Oct 17, 2024 at Campsite #68

sites vere very close, need alittle more space. all of the fires burning made it tough to breath. the site was well maintained,

@AnthonyD543568 · Camped on Oct 14, 2024 at Campsite #5

The terrain is quite steep and there are few flat spots for a camper or tent. There are no water spigots close to the road - so it's difficult to put water in an RV tank. There is no cell coverage there. Most of the tent sites involve a steep hike from your car

@JohnjB2107FA78 · Camped on Oct 13, 2024 at Campsite #91

A very quiet campground in deep forest.

@DennisB9968665 · Camped on Oct 13, 2024 at Campsite #102

Good location, sites are close together, area is very dusty, restrooms were marginally clean.

@Mengcheng0A35A · Camped on Sep 24, 2024 at Campsite #49

Hodgdon meadow is a very well-managed campground. We recommend camping here.

@RichardK748784 · Camped on Sep 22, 2024 at Campsite #64

Many campsites way off level. Difficult for RV, even with blocks. Need to regrade driveways. Outer ring best for privacy. Inner ring crowded and no clear boundary between some campsites. People were frequently walking thru our campsite to get there bathroom.

@TodBDB19AE88D1 · Camped on Sep 19, 2024 at Campsite #84

Great campsite. Loved being able to forage for wood for a campfire. Our site, #35, was very uneven. We had to lift the back and one side of our trailer a lot and then had to put the front end down to the ground to get it close to level. All in all, great experience. Loved Yosemite

@SamanthaE34144 · Camped on Sep 17, 2024 at Campsite #104

The sites were not level at all and washed out from previous rains. Luckily we were only there for one night but wouldnt stay here again.

@AlexC6737302 · Camped on Sep 16, 2024 at Campsite #27

The bathroom was nearby and very clean, but our campsite 27 has too much of a slope. Everything just rolls down the hill. Other than that, everything was great

@TiloMEB7B8D753 · Camped on Sep 15, 2024 at Campsite #15

The campground is located in the wood near to the N.P. Entrance big oak flat to highway 120. It is a good location for starting activities in this part of N.P. ( see the sequoia trees at crane flat) Or the visit the Toulumne Valley at Tioga road. It is a 30 min drive away from Yosemite valley and the activities there.

@RalfS1786B0823 · Camped on Sep 15, 2024 at Campsite #61

Slot 62 is very uneven, Not suitable for an RV. Restrooms have been dirty.

@PierreT7E7AE74 · Camped on Sep 14, 2024 at Campsite #53

Super moment pass dans ce campground. Nous recommandons ce campground qui est trs propre avec de grands emplacements. Juste un point ngatif sur le manque de bac vaisselle pour les campeurs

@NkemE669E0CE57 · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #13

Lovely campsite, very quite since its not as popular which I loved!

@LewisJ43ED6BC0 · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #4

Awesome Rangers, nice campground. Very remote, though. Valley rats wont dig it.

@KarlaB1C8DBD1A · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #35

We loved exploring a new national park. Manzanita Lake is beautiful. We explored several hiking trails and got in some kayaking too. We cant wait to return for another camping trip.

@NicolasD840202 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #64

I had a very good experience at Hodgdon Meadow Campground and can only recommend it.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@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!!!
