While it was pretty crowded, even in the middle of an October week, and people would cross our campsite to get to the bathroom, and we'd have to cross others' campsites to do the same, feeling alone is not the point of camping here. It is, in fact, more or less the most central Yosemite Valley location you'll find. At the end of the campground, you can cross a small brook and be on Happy Isles bridge, ready to start on the trails to Vernal Falls, Nevada Falls, Half dome, etc.
The occasional bear comes by to try to steal food. In our experience, not only we but all the other campers knew exactly what to do, and the hollering, stomping and banging scared the bear away quickly. Make sure to put your food (and also toothpaste, perfume, and anything that smells) into the complimentary bear canisters; otherwise, you may be caught by a bear, which might damage your property and eat your food, or by a ranger, who may cite you. Oh, and in the mornings, watch out for the squirrels! They're very bold, and entered our car to search for crumbs.

You really can't miss it.
