We stayed at site #5 which is all the way up the hill and very spacious. Plenty of space for two tents. The site has several tables in addition to the picnic table, perfect for setting up our cooking gear. The shade cover provided on the site was greatly appreciated because most of the site is fairly exposed. Great view over trees. The porta potties are very clean and convenient. The information we received from Cassidy before the trip was clear, we had no problem accessing the campsite. It's a bit of a drive to Yosemite valley, but doable and we enjoyed being away from the crowds to camp. Highly recommend!" }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jordan E." }, "datePublished": "June 9, 2024", "reviewBody": "The instructions were very well put together.
