Of course if you could get a site in the valley you wouldn't be looking here. But that said as a back-up site it could be much worse. The bathrooms are very old and not cleaned much considering there are ONLY a total of 6 stalls for the women in the entire campground, don't wait until the last minute to... More

I am not the sort of person who writes these knit picky reviews – I honest want to help other travelers. With that being said Hodgdon Meadows would be my last choice to camp in Yosemite. I have camped all my life, all over the US, and Hodgdon Meadow is not only the poorest layout/design for a campground, it was... More

We felt that we lucked out with many different factors with this campground. We blindly chose a campsite from the website shortly after they opened the reservations for our time period. Which, I'm glad we did, because the campground was sold out by the time we were getting things ready for our trip. Our site was one of the tent... More

Just got back from Yosemite and there's so much to write about, I almost don't know where to start. But since this review is about Hodgdon Meadow in particular, I guess I'll start with our campsite. Campsite #17 - We felt VERY lucky to have gotten a campsite at all bc we booked it only 3 wks prior. The ranger... More

We had a 2 night reservation in June 2011, but arrived a day late and were glad we did. We'd booked a site for a 10x10 tent and could not find space for even a 2 person tent on the whole site. The site was not just unlevel but steeply pitched and seriously washed out. Eventually borrowed garden tools from... More

I see a lot of reviews on here about how much this places sucks because there are no showers or you are sleeping on a slope. What do you expect? You are camping! In the wilderness. If you need a shower every day, drive up the road 2 seconds to the public showers. If you don't like sleeping on a... More

We spent a week in Yosemite in a VW camper with our two boys. We had as much trouble as everyone booking a campsite through the reservation system when planning our trip so we felt lucky to get one at all. We entered through the upper park entrance and were happy to find our campsite so close - it was... More

I have been to Yosemite many times and to many campgrounds. This is probably my least favorite campground. I stayed for 2 nights at a walk-in site and didn't enjoy it much. The site (#22) was on a slope which made it difficult to load and unload our vehicle. The sites were very oddly placed in that there was no... More

Luckily we only stayed at hodgdon meadows for one night, we could not get out of there fast enough the next morning. The campground is poorly laid out and managed. Roads through the campground are very rough, bathrooms were dirty, no showers, and they do not sell firewood here (if we had known this before it wouldn't have been an... More
