"Good spot if you can’t find anything closer to the Yosemite entrance. Better than Mariposa Lodge, IMO. Clean. Easy to get on the way to YNP. It’s still far from the park tho. Worth it to find something closer if you can afford a few extra bucks. The distance does take a toll for a 4 day trip. If 1 or 2 days, the distance is bearable for someone that is fit enough for the almost 1hr drive from YNP."

"The staff and property were great! So much fun stuff for the kids to do and it was beautiful! The tents were so clean and well kept! The only downside was the bathroom we shared. It got pretty messy and dirty with the amount of people using it. Maybe if it was cleaned more through the day! Also we wish there were more food choices but all in all a great vacation!"
