Awesome, clean place. Great location. Stayed here with two buddies and we had no complaints.

We loved this campsite! The location was super convenient with the gas station across the street and a short drive to the gates of Yosemite. The road and Valero are barely visible from the site and we didn’t mind heating cars passing. The outdoor shower was a must after a long day of hiking and the highlight of the weekend. We didn’t realize the spigot was connected to a jug of water, but we just ran across the street and picked up more water for washing dishes. Highly recommend also getting a citronella candle for the bugs as they swarm when you start cooking. Will definitely being staying again in the future!!

Close to Yosemite Big Oak Flat entrance and right across the street from a gas station, but was still very private. Had a port a potty and a hot outdoor shower that was awesome after hiking all day. Bear box provided. Perfect spot to stay if you don’t want to deal with the reservation hassle or other people camping right on top of you. Will stay again. 5 stars!

LOVED this spot! So close to Yosemite’s gate you really can’t go wrong. Clean area, the lights around the campsite was an awesome touch. My dogs and I loved it!

Great Spot
Great little spot! Toilet, power AND a shower. Convenient, clean and only 10-ish minutes from Yosemite. Great communication and plenty of space. Cool string lights hanging and has a bear box with picnic table. Flat-ish, just bring some leveling blocks and you’re good. Will stay again when given the opportunity.

A Great Space for Connecting
We loved our time at Yosemite's Doorstep! This was my mom and sister's first time camping, so Jim's campsite was the perfect introduction. When we arrived, Jim had everything set up for us (we rented a tent and cots). The Bear Locker is the perfect size for a few days worth of food, which was my biggest concern. The area is fairly quiet even though there is a road and gas station just a slingshot from the campsite (very convenient when you're running out of ice). I think the only downside was all of the flying insects (bees, nats, flies, mosquitos, etc.) - they got pretty intense when we were cooking. I might also recommend bringing a portable canopy if you have one because there's not much shade in the campsite during the day. This is fine if you plan on exploring Yosemite, but if you want a day to just chill, you'll want that extra shade during the summer months. Yosemite was super easy to get to and always a wonder. Highly recommend this spot for your next Yosemite adventure!
