Good clean campgrounds, little crowded but to be expected. Bear box is pretty big, fit cooler and food tub and still had room leftover. Close to bathrooms and bathroom was clean. Walkable to shuttle stop, very convenient.

Campgrounds are dilapidated including bathrooms. Need a full rehabilitation of bathrooms and campsites.

My stay was only one night because of Campground closure the following day at noon. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Yosemite is a very special place that has become nearly impossible to access. I was grateful for the one night. As I departed through the north entrance, I accessed the Hodgdon Meadow Campground for three additional nights. I am very pleased to experience this campground for future experiences. The rangers were very accommodating. The staff in all experiences are doing the best they can under difficult circumstances.

Camping in Yosemite Valley is always a treat! Waking up to tall trees, towering rock formations, and beauty everywhere you look is a wonderful way to start the day. The campground spots are close together, and backing into my spot was a bit challenging, but after some maneuvering, I made it in just fine. Restrooms were clean and I was centrally located to several trails so I could easily explore the area. The free shuttle buses take you to all the must-see areas. Pack a lunch and a water bottle and explore the trails! The fall colors are especially nice, but I'd go again any time I can snag a rare open spot. Reservations are hard to come by! Grab one as soon as you see it, then plan your trip around that.

Fire pit in site number 213 is very dangerous, cut off and moves around. Hazard for kids and adults. Volunteer camp host was awesome. Some bathrooms are still with damaged plumbing and not ADA compliant. Its the Feds and they are not ADA compliant for decades with their campground bathrooms. They charge $36 bucks a night to camp in substandard campsites and old damaged bathrooms. Embarrassing really, been this way for decades, with plenty of excuses. Nice new bathrooms for the bus tourists in the village though, again inequality to campground management and maintenance and infrastructure.

Found a great space last minute.
@GrzegorzS38713 · Camped on Oct 28, 2025 at Campsite #520
Wonderful place, wonderful people. Easy process to check in, check out. The place itself is spectacular.If I can complain about anything - we didn't see a single bear during our stay ;)
@LorettaCC79D8B · Camped on Oct 25, 2025 at Campsite #212
We stayed in North Pines for a few days. We brought our bicycles and thoroughly enjoyed getting around the valley. The rangers were very helpful addressing any of our questions.
@JohnK6536193 · Camped on Oct 24, 2025 at Campsite #113
Everything was great, bathrooms clean and warm at night. Campground is awesome, had a great time.
@PaulT7740903 · Camped on Oct 21, 2025 at Campsite #522
loved the campground and in particular our site right on the Merced river. Very quite and beautiful scenery.The second spot we had was a little bit of a challenge to get into with our 26 foot Class C motorhome. The campsitehad cement curbs and even though we were right on the curb our slide would not open all the way because of a treethat had a curved trunk. However we could have pulled up to the street I think and opened it all the way.The first site was very large as were most of the sites. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Great experience safe, quiet, and convenient.

Excellent campground in the heart of the Yosemite Valley. Can't wait to go back already!

Wonderful sport with glorious views. Rangers and staff were very helpful

Amazing campground, loved it
@CarolM9915509 · Camped on Oct 15, 2025 at Campsite #136
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.
@JeffB8180041 · Camped on Oct 14, 2025 at Campsite #115
One of the nicest camping spots in California. Beautiful views and wonderful hiking trails.
@TiannaM7A24F59 · Camped on Oct 14, 2025 at Campsite #400
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.
@ChrisP7014555 · Camped on Oct 9, 2025 at Campsite #506
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.
@CharlesL794562 · Camped on Oct 7, 2025
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
@AudreyLE45F074 · Camped on Oct 6, 2025 at Campsite #217
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.

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.
