Site 3 - Old Yosemite Base Camp (4x4 ONLY)
Great experience!
This was such a beautiful site and felt so secluded and safe. It was only about 20 minutes from the south entrance of Yosemite and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Site 2 - Old Yosemite Base Camp (4x4 ONLY)
This was the perfect place for me to camp just outside of Yosemite. The instructions from the host are great and made for a wonderful overnight stay.

Site 1 - Old Yosemite Base Camp (4x4 ONLY)
Great spot!
This was a great spot to stay outside of Yosemite. About an hour and 20 mins to Yosemite valley and a half hour to the south entrance. 10-15 mins away there’s the town of Oakhurst with any store you might need anything from. We stayed at site #1 which is at the top of the hill. 4x4 is definitely needed and there are narrow and right turns to get up there. We have a Toyota Tacoma and had no issues at all getting to our site. Our site had a large picnic table, 2 other wood tables, a fire pit, and an awning for shade. The view was spectacular from our site especially the sunset. Felt very safe camping here.

Convenient. Needed a guaranteed place to sleep and didn't need to worry about contending with #vanlife overrun national forest sites.

Site 1 - Old Yosemite Base Camp (4x4 ONLY)
I had an issue with my booking and Cassidy was very accommodating. Site 1 was a nice spot to see the stars. I recommend bringing a canopy for this spot because there isn't much shade. Nice views and pretty surroundings.

Site 3 - Old Yosemite Base Camp (4x4 ONLY)
Site 3
We recently stayed at OYBC for Labor Day weekend for 2 nights. We booked Site 3 and were very pleased. The campground was easy to get to coming from Bay Area, very clean, and had lots of shade. The downside was we had some trouble finding a flat area to set up our tent and that our site was in the middle of the campground, so you have a little less privacy. Site 1, 2, and 4 were within view. Other than that, there was a bundle of wood waiting for us at the fire pit, two tables (1 with seats and 1 without), and only a 15 minute drive to Bass Lake and 1.5 hr drive to Yosemite valley floor. The bathrooms were clean but were a bit far (located at the front entrance) and you have to walk up and down the treacherous hill. Just bring a portable toilet with privacy tent and you should be good. Trash bin was also located at the front entrance. We didn’t really see wasps, but we did see mosquitoes, ants, and flies. There were not too many, but a screened canopy and traps definitely would help. No sightings of wildlife during our stay. They are not messing around when they say you absolutely need AWD or 4x4 to get in the campground. It’s a fairly steep climb, with lots of gravel, potholes, and uneven terrain. We only wish our site could fit more cars and people so we could bring our friends next time. Perfect camping getaway for singles, couples, or small families!
