• "Big Sandy and Little Sandy are about a mile before the entrance to Yosemite. It is about a 5 mile dirt road with only a couple places to let cars pass if you're scared of hairpin cliffs. I suggest you not take this road unless you're an experienced driver or in a truck with good clearance!"
• "This place is a great hidden gem next to Yosemite, the best campsite I have been to (with bathroom)."
