Tuolumne Meadows Campground

One of the largest high-elevation meadows in the Sierra Nevada, Tuolumne Meadows at 8,600 feet is a popular area that offers scenic views, hiking opportunities, ranger programs, the Tuolumne Meadows Visitor and Wilderness Centers, the Tuolumne Meadows Lodge, a store, post office and campground.



Within Tuolumne Meadows, visitors see the Tuolumne River meandering quietly through its meadow channel and cascading over the granite river bottom against a backdrop of rugged mountain peaks and glacially carved domes. The river, declared by Congress a Wild and Scenic River in 1984, originates in the high country near the east side of the park.

I can rate only views because I have not been camping there. Those meadows are nice change to mountains everywhere. Nice sunset.

Tuolumne has the prettiest sights in Yosemite in my opinion. I highly recommend taking the drive out here. You won't regret it.

This is one of my favorite places to camp in Yosemite. The longer drive and the higher altitude may deter some, but Tuolumne offers some amazing views of the park. One major benefit of coming this far into the park is that you will likely avoid the large crowds that you regularly encounter down in the valley.
