What campers say

Summerdale Campground sits just minutes from Yosemite’s entrance and is frequently praised for its soothing creek, shaded, well-spaced sites, and friendly, attentive hosts who sell firewood. Vault/pit toilets are regularly described as clean and there are potable water spigots around the loop, though not at every campsite. There are no showers or on-site bear storage boxes, so visitors should plan to securely store food (many keep coolers in vehicles). Most guests find the park quiet and pleasant, but there are occasional reports of noisy neighbors and variable site size/cleanliness, so expectations should be tempered.
