Hodgdon Meadow Campground

Spent 3 nights at this campground near the entrance of Yosemite National Park. It’s about a 45-minute drive to Yosemite Valley. We stayed at campsite #1, which was conveniently located near the entrance, but a bit far from the restrooms. There is no reception on this campground. There are no showers on-site, so we had to drive to Curry Village to take a shower. The campground only has flushing toilets, which is fine, but they weren’t very clean and there was no soap available. They also have potable water. Some campsites are also on a slope, which isn’t ideal for tent camping. During our visit, there was a lot of loose dirt, so our feet and legs were constantly dusty. Each site has a bear box, which is a plus for safety. Overall, it’s a decent location close to the park, but restroom ma

Great campsite above Yosemite Valley. It takes about 40-60min to drive down to Yosemite Valley is can be both good and bad: calmer and further away from crowds but requires more driving. My specific campsite was on an incline so it was hard to find a flat patch of ground to pitch my tent but other than that the campsite was great. Every campsite had its own table, fire pit, and bear locker and there’s toilets with running water nearby.

We enjoyed our stay at this campsite, however we had to cut our trip short since the terrain was on a slope. We had originally planned on having 2 tents set up. One on the ground and one on my pickup truck bed for the kids. Unfortunately the staff did not allow me to put up the tent on my pickup truck which was a real bummer and really made the camping more inconvenient. The plus side was the flushable restrooms and running water.

Perfect place to stay for a night with a RV. |Wonderful campground, with restrooms and good vibes. |It’s well located, at the entrance of the park, easy to reach even by night.

Stayed here for 3 nights with a friend a couple weeks ago. I've camped in a lot of different campgrounds, and this is by far my least favorite. We had a hike-in site (58 I believe). Would not recommend it at all. The hike-in sites were practically on top of each other, without clear delineation of where one ended and another started. This was made worse by the fact that multiple neighboring sites exceeded the 6 person/site limit, and there was no enforcement of that by the park host or rangers (not blaming them, they're super short staffed at the moment due to all the NPS cuts). Most of the sites were also VERY slopey with no flat spots to pitch a tent. There were only 2 bathrooms for the entire campground, for a total of only 5 toilets and 4 sinks for all the women/girls. Also paths to th
