It’s decent. Bathrooms were worn but mostly clean, no dump station or water fill station but potable water in the bathroom. Very VERY dusty as all sites are dry dirt that causes a dust clouds even walking around. Forget clean. Dust will travel in open windows and get into everything!

It’s decent. Bathrooms were worn but mostly clean, no dump station or water fill station but potable water in the bathroom. Very VERY dusty as all sites are dry dirt that causes a dust clouds even walking around. Forget clean. Dust will travel in open windows and get into everything! It is camping but we’ve never experienced such dirt and dust. If there was gravel or wood chips or grass it would help, but it’s just dirt. Anyway, it’s well kept and pretty, just be prepared for dust and a long drive to every attraction. The only way we’d ever return would be snagging a reservation in the valley.

We moved here from Wawona when it shut for repairs. The campsite was in a good spot, it’s a shame it’s so far out of the valley but a good location for when we left via Tioga pass. Our spot was pretty flat and there were good toilets.

Yosemite has no boondocking, so you reserve in Yosemite Valley a year ahead of time, or you stay at Crane Flat or Hogdon Meadows. It's a 16 mile drive to Yosemite Valley from the campground.

Yosemite has no boondocking, so you reserve in Yosemite Valley a year ahead of time, or you stay at Crane Flat or Hogdon Meadows. It's a 16 mile drive to Yosemite Valley from the campground. But it's a pretty drive. The campground is very hilly. Bring leveling blocks. We used both sets of ours. The layout doesn't make a lot of sense and you would be hard pressed to get a larger 24'+ rig in here. It served our purpose. But it was hot, dusty and crowded. Not really our style. Oh, and hope you dont need to make a cell call. No service except in a few limited spots in Yosemite Valley.
Best part? Tom, the Forest Service entry kiosk worker who was just great. Really nice guy.
Note - our rate is $13 because we have a senior pass. Usual is $26.

En Roadtrip aux USA, il était inenvisageable de ne pas s’arrêter a Yosemite NP. N’ayant pu obtenir une place sur les campings de Yosemite valley nous nous sommes rabattus sur hogdon. Excellente expérience mais attention aux emplacements 10 à 23 en pente. La voiture ne peut pas être garée sur l’emplacement mais sur un parking en amont. Le centre du camping est plutôt familial et plus bruyant alors que les emplacements excentres sont beaucoup plus calmes mais moins accessibles. Cela ne nous a pas posé problème. Il existe de nombreux trails à proximité, loin de la foule de Yosemite valley. Nous recommandons ce camping mais pas à n’importe quel emplacement.

"n Roadtrip in the USA, it was unthinkable not to stop at Yosemite NP. Not being able to get a place on Yosemite Valley campsites we fell back on hogdon. Excellent experience but watch out for pitches 10 to 23 on a slope. The car can not be parked on the site but on a parking upstream. The center of the camp-site is rather family and noisier whereas the excentres sites are much quieter but less accessible. It was not a problem. There are many trails nearby, far from the crowds of Yosemite Valley. We recommend this campsite but not at any location."

We visited this site a few days before Thanksgiving. The campground was quiet and tucked just inside Yosemite national park. The proximity to the visitor center was great. There are no hookups and lots of shade so our solar did not do much for us. We have a 30 ft airstream and there were probably only 4 or 5 of the 90+ plus sites that ... more
We visited this site a few days before Thanksgiving. The campground was quiet and tucked just inside Yosemite national park. The proximity to the visitor center was great. There are no hookups and lots of shade so our solar did not do much for us. We have a 30 ft airstream and there were probably only 4 or 5 of the 90+ plus sites that could accommodate us. If you have a bigger rig it will be a roll of the dice if you can get one of those spots. There is no reception at the campground but you’ll be five minutes from the visitor center where we had two bars of 4g LTE Verizon. One other note, we came during off season. The layout of the campground is patchwork and I can’t imagine how much of a Charlie Foxtrot it is during the busy months. If I came to the area during busy months I’d find a more organized spot.
