Yosemite Creek Campground

Yosemite Creek Campground is a smaller campground off of the Tioga Road. You will need to drive down a narrow windy road to reach the campground.

The park does not allow any trailers or RVs into the campground which makes sense when you traverse down the windy road.

The road is partly paved and then dirt towards the campground. You will want to be careful on the drive. We found people all over the place driving a bit crazy on the dirt road.

When choosing a site you will want to know the clearance under your vehicle. Some sites have large rocks as you drive into the sites.

You will want to make sure that you arrive during the daylight to traverse through the rocks and safely park in the campground.
