I spent one night in site 303. It it been cleared of brush and is not as small, or as close to the restroom, as the photo would lead you to believe. I had a nice level spot for a small 7'x7' tent. Bonus was that a large RV in 301 blocked the noise and light from the restroom. The quiet hours were well observed during my stay, and the camp hosts were very friendly and helpful. This campground has easy access to the water and a nearby shuttle stop.

I spent one night at site 505 before having to transfer to another spot. RV is not required to book this spot, and there was enough space for a small tent. Easy access to the river, well observed quiet hours during my visit and really nice camp hosts.

Great location! Everyone was considerate of their noise level, and great spot to see the stars. We didnt realize that theres specific hours for the fire, so in the morning we had to put it out. The location is in between two bathrooms, but not too close that you hear people in and out at all hours.

This site will fit a 35 foot RV without having to back up over the curb. The curb is low and can be backed over. This is a very shaded site which makes it hard to get solar. It is also hard to get Starlink reception. But this is Yosemite Valley and it is where you want to be.It would be better if you could pull into the site because the table and fire ring are on the other side. When backing in the table is on the drivers side. There is no room to move the table to the passenger side. It would also be difficult to pull into the site because of the one way roads. I hope this helps RVers out.

Nice facilities. Helpful personnel. Good location. If you can get reservations....I would recommend this campground
@TimothyG16E344 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #312
Campsites are nice, but there is still noise from generators and barking dogs.
@KyleK5426318 · Camped on May 28, 2025 at Campsite #527
This was a perfect base camp to explore Yosemite. I highly recommend staying here! The facilities are clean and the camp sites are large.
@WiolettaWB18AB · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #321
Was clean and tidy, not very big campsite next to the river. A lot of toilet buildings around with drinking water. Easy access to free water and dump station for our campervan on upper pine campground. The entrance is wrong marked and the drivers accidentally turns into the parallel road just next to the campground. Unfortunately our site 321 was very close to the neighbours (approx 4m), so there was no privacy around.

Friendly staff and campers. Great environment.

Yosemite is a very special place, and has been for me for 62 years. I try to make at least one "pilgrimage" each year. This year's visit was a little more difficult as my wife has Alzheimers and is lacking in mobility. That and the crowds made it pretty impossible to shuttle around that valley to the spots we have in the past. It didn't help that the shuttle stop at the entrance to North Pines was blocked off. Unfortunately I picked the wrong dates to visit. I didn't carefully consult my calendar or I would not have chasen to arrive on a holiday weekend (my mistake). We have a lovely site on the river which was very relaxing. Our neighbors were very nice. I would hope to get up to Tuolumne Meadows later in the year

Site #502 at Notth Pines was amazing! We were right on the water where Tenaya Creek meets the Merced River. The views were beautiful! We couldnt have asked for anything more.
@StacieF7A4A431 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #219
Staff helpful, bathrooms clean, camping neighbors respectful. I like the change of fire regulations, no fires in the morning made it easier to breath!
@elizabeth19786 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #131
Amazing location for exploring the valley on foot or bike - didn't use the car our entire weekend. Campground was in great shape with clean restrooms. Would love to come back again!
@XuanK6DE42AA0D · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #214
Beautiful campsite, spacious sites and lots of shade, accessible trails
@HeatherS702716 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #210
North Pines is a beautiful campground. Campgrounds were well maintained and bathrooms clean.
@CRAIGK8077458E · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #207
Clean grounds and restrooms. Hosts were great.
@LaurenGE6ABB1D · Camped on May 21, 2025 at Campsite #214
The bathroom closest to site 214 didnt have a water filler!
@LauraC7322672 · Camped on May 21, 2025 at Campsite #217
Magical spot right in the valley. Site and bathrooms were clean despite it being a very busy Memorial Day weekend. We had a neighbor being very loud past quiet hours (12am) but other than that we had a great stay.
@CarmenP4595D01 · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #207
All good. Clean and campers were respectful. Campsites were a bit close, but that's what happens when everyone wants to camp in Yosemite Valley. I would be happy if campfires were eliminated. I get the appeal, but the smoke can be a bit much.
@KennethD790357 · Camped on May 18, 2025 at Campsite #123
Site 123 separated from next site by a curb. Too close for comfort.Disturbing newer trend, Someone gets a site for as long as possible then cycles all their friends to come visit for several days each. Spot next door at one time had three different camper vehicle occupants.
@FrancineL0F22E · Camped on May 18, 2025 at Campsite #208
Campground close to shuttle service, Curry Village, Mirror lake and a short walk to the Awhanee. Most campsites small, and close to neighbors. Campground quiet at night.
@ErikED54B00C72 · Camped on May 18, 2025 at Campsite #526
Shuttlebus to Glacier Point; there's also a new tram tour.
@CurtMCF709B2C9 · Camped on May 18, 2025 at Campsite #305

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
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.
