Staff in the kiosk were super friendly and helpful. I was expecting mayhem with the shutdown but seemed like everyone was respectful and keeping the park clean. The bathrooms were clean, didnt see hardly any trash around, so very grateful that people were being respectful. Thank you for all the hard work the staff and volunteers were doing, much appreciated. North Pines is my favorite campground so thankful I was able to experience our beautiful Yosemite once again.

North Pines is definitely the nicest if you want to be further away from the road and want to be close to the river. Site 400 is great if you have a taller rig with solar panels as there is no overhang. Shade available if you have tents back in the trees. Close to the bathroom. And clear view of Half Dome right from the site.

North Pines is definitely the nicest if you want to be further away from the road and want to be close to the river. Site 401 is great if you have a taller rig with solar panels as there is no overhang. Also good for colder months as it gets more sun. Close to the bathroom. And clear view of Half Dome right from the site.

Camp ranger was excellent in making sure we were comfortable with neighbors and how to ask for help. He checked on us a few times and went out of his way in communication. The campground was clean and we will definitely be back.

Absolutely my favorite campgrounds in the Yosemite Valley. Thank you so much for the staff and volunteers working through the shutdown. The stay was incredible. Some not great people tried to steal a campsite from our campsite neighbors and then blamed it on the shutdown but rangers dealt with the situation and kicked them out of the park. Thank you.

Simply an outstanding experience. The Wilderness Permit Backpack Camping area and parking area were extremely useful.The lady who was in charge of the camping area was not only diligent in her responsibilities but very friendly and helpful.The experience wants me to put in for another Wilderness Permit.Thanks for everything

Le camping est super bien plac dans la valle avec plusieurs dpart de randos la sortie du camping. Cest un camping taille humaine. LEmplacement est tout fait convenable, pas trop proche des sanitaires ni trop loign. Cependant, les plus jolis emplacements du camping sont ceux le long de la rivire. Il y a des douches gratuites au Curry Village.

Too bad the visitor center was closed.
@MariusSEF6C475 · Camped on Oct 1, 2025
Beautiful campground but unfortunately they allow generators which makes the experience on the campground a bit less pleasant. Waking up next to a generator makes you feel like your camping on a construction side rather then in nature.
@Rickp8849110 · Camped on Sep 30, 2025 at Campsite #135
Site is a little weird looks like your sharing you fire pit with neighbors, but that wasnt the case. Beautiful place nonetheless. Just a cross the street behind the other sites a little creek tenayas creek just awesome!Close to the bathrooms!
@Nathaniel79287 · Camped on Sep 30, 2025 at Campsite #203
We love it! What a beautiful place by the river.
@RolfeA6BACD81C · Camped on Sep 29, 2025 at Campsite #111
Stay at least three days incase of inclement weather. Dont waste a sunny day. Ride, hike, shuttle to El Capitan and drive to Glacier Point.
@JuliaV9DBC8F4F · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #218
We were fortunate to have won the lottery this year and booked a site we had camped in before. Our grown children joined us and our grandson had his first camping trip. We had a wonderful week. We love this campground!

H is extremely close to neighbor on patio side. No room to put out chairs or awning. Also difficult to back into with a motorhome. Picnic table is in back of site which is not handy. It's a very tight site with close neighbors on both sides when outside. Plus is that it's close to restroom.
@VivekR7B23FF1A · Camped on Sep 27, 2025
It was good stay, clean restrooms, accessible parking.
@StephenC406899 · Camped on Sep 26, 2025 at Campsite #210
It was a wonderful experience! The rangers were very kind and the bathrooms were clean. We hope to come back the same time next year! North Pines is such a great location- close to everything!
@KenS7241932 · Camped on Sep 25, 2025 at Campsite #500
Quiet spot in the busy valley.
@Stephanie43603 · Camped on Sep 25, 2025 at Campsite #526
super nice staff, clean sites and bathrooms! can't wait to stay again!
@DenisP0A575A12 · Camped on Sep 24, 2025 at Campsite #519
The campsite next to our site had two large families (many children) with two very large tents & trucks. They played kick ball and games late in the night and the children woke up early :(.My recommendation when booking your reservation, you would be able to see the site next to the one you selected to see how many people / tents are at the site next to yours.
@CateD419D8CEDC · Camped on Sep 21, 2025 at Campsite #201
very crowded with two other sites. no privacy and almost no room for tents. happy to be in Yosemite however!
@chadn5434049 · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #520
An absolute gem in one of the most beautiful places on the planet. We loved our stay at North Pines.
@Jacqualin8829A · Camped on Sep 17, 2025 at Campsite #401
Had the most wonderful time - hope to get there once a year
@DannyP90610482 · Camped on Sep 16, 2025 at Campsite #527
Loved staying right in the heart of the Valley. Not far from the Villages via Shuttle Bus or your own vehicle. Super close to the Mist Trailhead. Bathrooms were close by too, the view is amazing from here.

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!!!
