It was a great clean place, but payment system was internet base or cash. We got there late and didnt have cash. There was no reception to pay online. Even though it was written on a post that it was possible to pay offline, it was not. We camped there and expected to get help the day after by the camp host as it was the case for many other campgrounds in the area we stayed in before. Suprisingly in the morning while we were still sleeping in our tent we found ourselves in a situation that a park ranger was shouting at our tent asking we had to come out. I opened the tents zipper and faced a gun carrying police officer aiming his torch light to my face talking aggrecively asking for my ID and started asking questions from me and my partner. I explained the situation but still he was behaving like he was talking to criminals asking my partner if there was any restriction on her driving licence. She answered no but he could double check it. He said your face does not like those kind of people! I am not sure what was that answer, whatever it was it was not a professional police work. The whole conversation was odd and unfriendly and disturbing with unprofessional manner in a situation that was not necessary for him to even do police work. BTW I should mention that there was not any camp host or burning wood available to buy and for almost 200 campground there was just one toilet and drinking water faucet availabe far from many campgrounds. Anyway we enjoyed our stay and the campground and Yosemite was beautiful as always!

Great spot
@RagghavM646D7E · Camped on Oct 25, 2025 at Campsite #30
One of the best places to camp near Yosemite. Very well organised and maintained. Will surely recommend to go for a camping.
@mattH6F145B375 · Camped on Oct 24, 2025 at Campsite #20
Facilities are great, but the sites are pretty much on top of each other, so if you have loud neighbors it can be a little rough
@SiaraP09DE0340 · Camped on Oct 22, 2025 at Campsite #32
The rangers were friendly, the campsite (32) was in such a good spot, and having flushable toilets was so nice. Not a bad drive from everything in the rest of the park. Crane Flat gas station was only 8 miles away. Overall excellent time and will re-book in the future!
@JialuHFA2835D8 · Camped on Oct 22, 2025 at Campsite #20
Quite site and we can see so many stars in the night. Excellent experience
@DerekB3528004 · Camped on Oct 20, 2025 at Campsite #A
Campsite A was great it had everything from space, secluded from all other campsites, right next to the Amptheater, bathrooms near, 5 plus table , 5 Bear boxes, flat areas, 3 fire rings, sky view, great temperature for October. slightly far from the rest of Yosemite, near by waterfall 5 min car ride north, outside park. no cell phone service only once you get to some other campsites or on main road.
@SherwoodLFF60E · Camped on Oct 19, 2025 at Campsite #88
Campground is very near the west entrance to Yosemite but about 45 minutes from the valley. Sites are a little close to each other so privacy might be an issue for some. Quiet time is from 10pm to 7am but campground host came to us at around 6:30pm saying our dogs were barking excessively and also that it's getting late...at 6:30pm! We were camped right next to the restroom so naturally they would bark at people passing by but we're normally in bed by 8pm inside the camper so for him to say that is unreasonable.
@DavidD5028320 · Camped on Oct 19, 2025 at Campsite #94
Campground sites were very close to each other with little foliage. Location was good for entry point to the park.
@AmandeepSEF342 · Camped on Oct 18, 2025 at Campsite #A
Great exp. Active bear zone.Side lake..Side car parking
@simonc2711C127 · Camped on Oct 17, 2025 at Campsite #75
Unlevel site (described as Moderate slope on RA) Ground was churned up so we moved to another (better) CG down the road.
@JimD11B8E413C5 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025 at Campsite #90
We ended up getting 3 nights in North Pines and canceled our reservation. Wish we could have stayed longer.Please bring back Liqer and Upper River campgrounds. The number people that are trying to make camping reservations has grown exponentially. Surely there is some corporation in the recreation business that would fund the restoration. These are the peoples' parks, not Yosemite Conservancy's private playground.
@DanielF1136472 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025 at Campsite #65
Beautiful spot, lot of space and everythin was super well organized.
@MaxwellREFBD39 · Camped on Oct 11, 2025 at Campsite #53
Our site was not flat at all, so there wasnt anywhere good to put our tent. The campground seemed a bit tight with the sites really close together.
@MariaH8181867 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #52
Pros: You are in the park, friendly park service staff, you are close to so much beauty and nature. You are 45 min from Yosemite Valley. We stayed in Site 52 and it had 2 tent spots that were mostly flat. Cons: You camp very close to others (think: hear your neighbor snoring so bring ear plugs), it's dusty, parking is tight, you don't get a spot necessarily right next to your camp spot (think. parking areas not spots), no showers. You are about 45 min away from Yosemite Valley but it really doesn't matter that much because the drive is so dang beautiful! Some of the campsites were sloped.
@ANAAB344F8416C · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #76
Nice place, we had a great time over here, maps says it takes 45 min to get to curry village but it felt like 20 min ride because of the views thru the ridePeople were great
@AllisonT103086 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #10
First time in Yosemite and appreciated the peacefulness of this campground and the location amid the forest. Campsite 10 was nice and spacious and a bit flatter than some of the others; we set up two tents. Firepit and table were on a bit of a slope, but we managed. Can park car pretty close; not that big of a deal to unload and load. Bathrooms were clean and it was nice to have plenty of drinking water. Rangers were very helpful.
@alexandra2D151 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #75
Beautiful campground, good starting point for Tioga Road.
@DominikS0BB766 · Camped on Oct 9, 2025 at Campsite #62
Almost all sites are close to each other and on a significant incline that makes level sleeping impossible. In addition, the access paths to the bathrooms are difficult to find. There is also no dump station for RVs. Also note that this campground is not close to any of the major site with the exception of Hetch Hetchy.
@JessicaS159432 · Camped on Oct 8, 2025 at Campsite #52
This campground was the perfect place to stop for the night since we came into the park at night from SF. Even with the shutdown, the campground was extremely well managed. Bathrooms were impeccably clean, campsites were free of garbage and rangers were still there ensuring campers were putting their fires all the way out and food wasn't left out. Overall, I was very impressed with how well the campground was still being managed and we had a great first night in the park here.
@RichardL555896 · Camped on Oct 7, 2025 at Campsite #17
Camp Host off duty when arrived at 5pm. What is the us of having a camp host if he is off duty after the ranger leaves for the day. He was no help help on changing site. Number 17 sloped realy bad, the camp was very little use and many level sites were not used. Many sites need to be leveled . Will not ever stay here again.
@ShileenLC08630 · Camped on Oct 5, 2025 at Campsite #60
Great campground and very comfortable. Facilities were clean and the host was very informative and helpful. Quick drive to nearby lodge was a bonus!
@AprilB5759478 · Camped on Oct 5, 2025 at Campsite #59
We reserved site #59. The back-in site sloped completely downhill and was where the water drained downhill from above. Our van is 19 ft and barely fit even though it is listed as accommodating a 20 ft vehicle.
@JoeP4395388 · Camped on Oct 4, 2025 at Campsite #77
Beautiful location, clean facilities and friendly staff. Had a wonderful time.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
