Stayed on the "Camp Friday and get Saturday free" weekend. It was crowded. OK. Should have expected that. What I didn't expect was the close campsites and really poor internet reception. I complained that the internet was slow to nothing, and the response was "let me reset it". That happened twice. Since everyone else in the campground was kicked off the internet, that seemed extreme. While internet access was a prime consideration for staying at the park and was disappointing, the location by Yosemite was great and the second night (the free night) was actually quite pleasant. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Acceptable park on the way to Yosemite. Check in staff not very friendly. Large attractive store. Electric, water, cable and WiFi all worked well (WiFi is free for the first hour, then $6 per day after that). Beautiful location amongst the trees, but the sites are so close together that it feels more like a parking lot than a forested campground. Pool is kept clean. Noisy septic system runs 24/7. Of note, there is a city bus to Yosemite Park for $12. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place to stay when heading to Yosemite. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There is even a shuttle that will take you to the park from the campground and back, which was great considering gas was almost $3.50 a gallon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Owner did not honor space reservation as they said they would and gave our spot to someone else before we arrived. Then they argued with me that there's no promise to save a spot for anyone. Then I asked for another spot that looked promising and were told that all of the other spaces were sold out. Over the course of our 4 day stay I found that the park was not sold out and the space we asked for on arrival sat empty for the duration. Restrooms are not cleaned daily or even every other day. The park is on a septic system. The large septic pump hums 24/7. In the middle of a forest, that's the only sound you can hear at night. Staff are less than friendly and not helpful. We asked for a space with a clear view of the south for satellite coverage. While they said that some spots had a clear view, we were not given one. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Friendly staff. Very accomodating. As others have said, sites may not be exactly level. Crowded but large trees help break up the CG. Narrow roads in and out, but doable. Grandkids loved the pond and the playground. We go here at least once a year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground was very quiet and is about 20 minutes from Yosemite. We enjoyed our stay here. The site was clean and surprisingly quiet even though it was close to the highway. The sites were a little to small but worth the price we paid. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
There are 50 RV sites, 28 with full hookups. Recommend pull thru sites 19-23, 26, 29, 36-40
for large rigs. Not all sites are level and most will require blocks under levelers. Entry roads are asphalt and sites are packed gravel. We stayed in site 39 and it was nice enough but could have been wider to provide room for our toad. Mature trees but still decent SW exposure for satelite reception. 40 minute drive to Yosemite's Hwy 140 Arch Entrance. Cannot have any chemicals in holding tanks per mgmt ! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Not a bad park, but not as level as I'd like it. Tight getting in and out. Can't dump at your site unless you use the same tank chemicals they do. The dump station by the entrance is sloped downhill and away from the dump. The pool was nice and the staff was friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground. Typical KOA layout. Sites were a little crowded but park was clean and
well managed. Friendly staff. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
