Quite site and we can see so many stars in the night. Excellent experience

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.

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.

Campground sites were very close to each other with little foliage. Location was good for entry point to the park.

Unlevel site (described as Moderate slope on RA) Ground was churned up so we moved to another (better) CG down the road.

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.

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.
@ElizabethB5852 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #8
bathroom is small, just a view stalls
@LauraB4922005 · Camped on Oct 1, 2025 at Campsite #4
Although it is far from the Yosemite valley (where there is a lot of things to see), I found the campground very pleasant, the 2 rangers were friendly and helpful.
@PaulC8096585 · Camped on Oct 1, 2025 at Campsite #85
Staff was nice but water for rv was next to impossible. I spicket in a outbuilding closet with blocked off access with road cones to get close???
@DouglasB187722 · Camped on Oct 1, 2025 at Campsite #71
The space was hard to find as it was the only one with no sign. The site was small and had almost no flat area for a tent. Neighbors were packed in and talked a lot all night but were not obnoxious. Nice restrooms and pretty. B-
@ValeriiE4354DC · Camped on Oct 1, 2025 at Campsite #60
Excellent campground. Polite staff, everything was clean and well organized. Everything was great - were very satisfied. Thank you!
@TheresaW977292 · Camped on Sep 30, 2025 at Campsite #3
Very nice campground, bathrooms need to be updated. Easy drive to Hetch Hetchy reservoir, Tuolumne Meadows or a day in the Yosemite Valley.

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
