We didn’t make it to the campsite unfortunately. Host was great at contacting us beforehand though.

Camping here was great. The campsite is super close to the Big Oak Flat Yosemite entrance. The campsite is very close to a road, but was otherwise fairly private, with no other campers around. Desiree was very nice and helpful-- and gave us an awesome recommendation for a nearby restaurant.
