North Pines lottery system is great for us because we have always gotten at least one site (there are 6 of us who enter the lottery). We are also happy with the limited evening hours for campfires and having no fires in the morning. Check in and check out times are reasonable. Bathrooms are always clean, as are campsites. One improvement would be to have sites arranged in a Progressive Tranquility format.

LOVE Yosemite and this campground is well situated and not as crowded as Upper Pines.

We stayed on site 402 and it had a wonderful view of Half Dome. Great tree shade and close to the river. The water level in Sept was perfect for slow rafting on tubes in the chilly water. Gorgeous weather, challenging hikes, friendly camping neighbors, all made our trip one to remember.

Campsite was directly across from the river so we enjoyed the sounds the entire time. Got to see a mama bear and cub across the river this time. Weather was in the 90s so having shade was a must. One of our best trips ever to Yosemite!

Site 511 was great. We were able to fit a 6 and 8 person tent for the 5 of us. Being in the last loop of the campground, there was very little traffic. Also a short walk to some nice swimming spots. I would stay here again.

Bathrooms could be nicer/newer bot its a one of a kind site.

We had the best campsite across from the Merced river and close to the confluence of Tenaya and Merced

I love North Pines Campground! Right at the Merced River confluence with Tenaya Creek, walking distance from both Curry Village and the Ahwahnee (via the bike trail), and Mirror Lake if you are up for a longer walk. Set in the best spot in the valley!

Beautiful Campground—friendly and polite rangers/host…!! Site is a corner, awkward layout, small tents only. We were lucky as the neighbor was site was empty. Bear paws marking on the bearbox next morning.
