We had a great stay here. Arrived to find clear instructions posted on how to choose and register for a site. Lots 1 & 2 are the grassy area right at the front, Lot 3 is just up the hill and is small, fenced in and paved. We never did see a Lot 4, but Lot 5 is at the top of the hill near the dump station. It is large gravel and probably the most level of the options. We chose the grass for our dog and he loved it.
There is a bit of road noise in this grassy area but it was warm so we slept with AC on and hardly noticed it. The town of Mariposa has a great supermarket, gas station and a quaint downtown. You are ~an hour to the Yosemite gate and about 80 minutes to Yosemite Village. The drive into the park is along the Merced River which was gorgeous when we visited.
We didn't need to use campground facilities but they are a short walk away. We appreciated that they watered the grass to keep it green and soft, was very pleasant for sitting out in the evenings. A great stay would highly recommend!
I love the fairgrounds and all the festivities hosted there! The county fair is small but pleasant, really set up well and the people who work there are very nice and friendly! I give it 4/5 stars because the fairgrounds are situated on a hillside. It's not an extreme incline, but an incline nonetheless. Bear this in mind if you have mobility issues; it isn't the easiest place to get around. I still enjoy going and will keep going back, especially for the Butterfly Festival and Mariposa County Fair! Oh, and check out the Mineral Museum while you're at it!
Mariposa County fair it's small but fun and the dog races are so cute lots to see picture, food, to look at and get free stuff at the booths.
I love that this small western town has large events & a fairground. It's like "stepping back into time" as some baby boomer friends of mine recently stated.
