Porcupine Flat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Porcupine Flat, located in northern area of Yosemite National Park along Tioga Road (HWY 120), is a first-come first-served campground outside of Yosemite Valley. This campground is very remote, very quiet, and very unpopulated relative to other campgrounds in Yosemite. The campground is directly off the road and thus does not require a rough drive to the campground like other Yosemite campgrounds outside of the Valley (Yosemite Creek & Tamarack Flat are examples 2-4 mile unpaved roads leading into the campground off the main road). Porcupine Flat is directly along a branch of Snow Creek and therefore many of the sites inside the campground are directly alongside a running creek. Those looking to stay away from crowds/noise would consider this campground. The sites are very green and shaded by the trees in the area. Unfortunately, it is not near any facilities or stores and its proximity to the Yosemite Valley is quite far (53 Min). Tuolumne Meadows and Tenaya Lake are close by.
