If you're dreaming of falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the Merced River and waking up to misty mountain views, this campsite delivers big time. Nestled right on the riverbank, the location is absolutely stunningperfect for fishing, skipping rocks, or just zoning out with a cup of campfire coffee.Pros:Location, location, location! Youre literally steps from the river.Scenery is unreal. Towering granite cliffs, whispering pines, and the occasional deer strolling by.Clean facilities and well-maintained grounds.Cons (or... adventures):The Rangers. Never. Sleep. I swear they have bear locker radar. Leave your granola bar out for 30 seconds and bama ranger materializes from the forest like a parkour-trained squirrel, clipboard in hand. Bear locker lectures are frequent and passionate. I now know more about bear behavior than I ever wanted to. (Did you know bears can smell toothpaste from a mile away? Because I do. Now.)Final Verdict: If you can handle a little ranger micromanagement and keep your snacks locked up tighter than Fort Knox, this riverside gem is a Yosemite must. Just dont forget to actually use the bear lockeror prepare for a surprise pop quiz on food storage regulations.

Our campsite was amazing, but most are pretty close together. The location of the campground has views of creek, river and half dome, and short bike ride to the villages and mirror/mist trails.. Tubing the Merced was really fun, and the bear bins are good size for cooler and food bins. The bathrooms were kept clean and park staff were very friendly and helpful.

Excellent location for valley hikes -- we walked to the Vernal Falls and the Mirror Lake hikes, and we also walked down to the village area most nights. Site 101 is one of the best sites in the CG. The site was fairly level and wide enough to fit our 27' Class C and Honda CRV toad. This site has none next to it, so your "front yard" is about the size of 3 regular campsites. In addition, the site is riverfront and near the bridge. Since it's right next to the gatehouse, people are actually driving 5 mph or less (unlike what tends to happen away from the eyes of rangers). The nearby bathroom had running cold water but no soap. If I could ever get this sit again, I'd definitely go for it. The sites next to us were much more closely packed.

This is a wonderful site. Has easy access to a large open area adjacent to the Merced River bridge. Site is relatively level. Next to main entrance but we kinda liked that. Shorter distance to shuttles and Curry Village.

We were at site 101, amazing site next to the river and what seems to be the largest site in North pines. Near bathrooms and drinking water
