Individual campsites in the Yosemite Valley. If you'd like to see photos of individual campsites in the valley, click here.
Because of the difficulties in finding camping sites and inexpensive accommodations, we have reserved a group campsite, #A, at Hodgdon Meadow, just inside the north (Highway 120) entrance to the park. You will be making a left turn into the campground. The site is reserved for the nights of May 8 and 9 and costs $40 per night. We will divide this cost according to the number of people and can take up to 15 people in this site. A sign up sheet will be passed around the class to determine interest. The campground is an approximately 45-minute drive from Yosemite Valley.
