Yosemite/Upper Pines

Upper Pines campsite was outstanding!
The location is breathtaking, with easy access to mountain streams, rivers, and stunning views. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the bathroom was well enough kept. If you can burn there is a fairly short window of time to burn; 5pm to 10pm available for campfires, and the Village store was well-stocked, for necessities, a decent walk away, drive if your getting supplies. There are numerous biking and hiking trails accessible from the site. Curry village is also close by full of essentials and novelties. Even with all the neighboring camps full, everyone was friendly and approachable. The night sky through the trees was easy to take in and enjoy its beauty! The ranger made his rounds, ensuring everything was safe without being intrusive. Plus, it was super convenient to catch the shuttle within walking distance to explore the rest of the park. Highly recommend this campsite for an amazing outdoor experience!

I absolutely loved my stay at Upper Pines Campground! The park ranger who checked us in was incredibly kind and welcoming, which set the tone for a wonderful experience.

The campground itself has everything you need, and the sites are very flat—perfect for setting up a tent with no hassle. Even though the campground was full, I never had issues with the bathrooms. There are always two or three nearby, and they were usually empty when I went.

The location is unbeatable. Being so close to the Mist Trail and right in Yosemite Valley makes it a truly magical experience. Waking up surrounded by the beauty of Yosemite is something I’ll never forget.

Highly recommend Upper Pines if you want to experience the heart of Yosemite!

Great campground with lots of space for each site, most are shaded. Bathrooms are plenty and kept very clean. A few annoying RVs with generators (to be turned off after 10pm), but otherwise mostly tent camping, and thus more quiet and social. The whole campground is quiet as there's not much traffic allowed close by.
Not much cell phone signal. Firewood and ice is expensive.

Yosemite valley is my favorite place on our trip and possibly on planet earth.
The campsite has stunning views, nice personal/rangers and acceptable restrooms, but no showers!
Rangers make sure it's silent at night.
We all loved it.

The campground offers a stunning view of the cliff and a shortcut through the woods to the Mist Trail and John Muir Trailhead, as well as shuttle stops #15 and #16. It's the cleanest campground I've ever visited—no ants, no bugs, and no tiny flying insects in the evening either. There are many well-maintained, clean bathrooms throughout the campground. While there are no showers, I soaked in the nearby river instead.

Absolutely fantastic place to go camping. Reservations are very difficult to get, but we managed to get one over the Fourth of July weekend. We will definitely be coming again. The river was ice cold but so much fun. The restrooms were as expected and no showers, so bring a shower/water bag. Overall we had an excellent experience although super busy.

Amazing campground in Yosemite National Park

Positive
Super nice atmosphere
Enough restrooms
Food lockers against bears
In total 3 generator time slots a day and dumping station available
Nice fire place

Negative
Really nothing you just have to wash your dishes at your place for bear safety

My friends and I stayed here and it was awesome! One of the most beautiful camp sites I’ve stayed at. Since we camped in December it was super cold but it was worth it. Smaller crowds and great views of the valley in the winter.

We came here late but we were able to get to our reserved spot. Toilet areas were clean but basic. Water is only cold. The water bottle refill station didn't work (it was winter time, maybe due to that).

The location was great. You can walk a few trails from here.

One of the best camp site. The fire place is amazing with the adjustable grill. Toilet is clean. Stores and diner is walking distance with everything you need for your camping. Campground is spacious for both your tent and your car. Great spot for star gazing as well

Beautiful campsite! The bathrooms are very clean. It has bear lockers for food storage, which are pretty good in size and fire pits are also there. Park rangers were super helpful. The campground has easy accessibility to some amazing hikes- vernal falls, mirror lake.  People are mindful of the quiet hours.
