Very pleasant stay there. Very clean and well located in the parc! Loved it!

Our campsite in the third loop of Upper Pines Campground was quiet and an easy walk or bike ride to Curry and Yosemite Villages. There are plenty of clean restrooms nearby. There were lots of birds and no bears in our campsite. Well choose this site again next year.

Site #70 small-,hardly can fit tent. Very close to other neighbors. But still amazing to be in Yosemite.
@ElanaLA9C944A9 · Camped on Apr 19, 2025 at Campsite #240
We loved this site! Site 240 has so much space and only one campsite to your right. To the left you have open space and its wonderful! Very busy campsite. In the center of the everything.

Great spot, with well maintained facilities. The check in representative was very helpful, very kind and just awesome! Thank you!
@MichelleP94407 · Camped on Apr 15, 2025 at Campsite #120
Great spot plenty of space for our tent. Had our own bear locker, fire pit, and camping table just like everyone else. Close to the bathroom, but not too close. No complaints!
@RachelG3412840 · Camped on Apr 15, 2025 at Campsite #186
Site 186 was a very open site. Not much direct shade, but an easy walk to the rest rooms. Parking was limited, there was not space for 2 vehicles here. Easily walked to any shuttle stop nearby. There were 2 trees spaced just right for a child's hammock to be stretched between them. Lots of small wildlife present.
@judsonm811062B · Camped on Apr 15, 2025 at Campsite #161
It is sad to see the lack of park rangers and sad that management needs to clean the bathrooms because they have no help. We need to treasure our Parks.
@AaronA6106490 · Camped on Apr 15, 2025 at Campsite #125
Excellent and clean facilities! Lovely time here :)

Clean and beauty Campground, wish we could stay longer!!
@CynthiaG850500 · Camped on Apr 14, 2025 at Campsite #31
This particular site was a bit small, but it did the job. The restroom was clean and stocked with toilet paper.It's within walking distance of 2 tram stops, so it's very convenient. It's also within walking distance to Curry Village in case you need something from the store.
@RachelG3412840 · Camped on Apr 14, 2025 at Campsite #93
Site 093 was wide enough to park two trucks next to each other. The grassy area wasn't perfectly level, but there were enough level spots to support tents if needed. It had a lot of shade cover. Very close to restrooms.
@RachelG3412840 · Camped on Apr 13, 2025 at Campsite #28
028 was an amazing site. Wide and tucked on a loop. Great access to the local trails and the shuttle loop.
@NayoungK6BBE64 · Camped on Apr 12, 2025 at Campsite #44
Upper pines was simply the best. We stayed three nights in our RV. Dump station is right next to the campground and there are two shuttle bus stops nearby, which makes it easy to get around. It was fully booked but still so peaceful after 10pm. The pizza deck at Curry village is super popular, so order yours early.
@ToriM9A8627E85 · Camped on Apr 10, 2025 at Campsite #93
Had an amazing 3 night stay! Campground was impeccably clean. Restrooms well stocked and clean as well. Was happy to have a dump station and potable water nearby too.
@DavidF8210922 · Camped on Apr 9, 2025 at Campsite #75
DO NOT remove the log under the table. It keeps the whole table level and balanced, it makes cooking and everything easier if you move it I will get you I swear.
@BrettW2960972 · Camped on Apr 7, 2025 at Campsite #75
Got lucky and got day-of booking for two nights! Great spot, not too close to neighbors, all of whom were friendly!
@LeonaJF4B9CD23 · Camped on Mar 27, 2025 at Campsite #3
We stayed in site 3 with a 21 foot towable and full-size truck from Thursday, March 27 to Saturday, March 29. The site was level and close to the shuttle bus stop with an amazing view of half dome. It was an easy hike to Mirror Lake and all the waterfalls were running at full force. The camp hosts were very friendly. The park was not very busy and we even had our pick of seats in the main hall at the Awhanee Hotel. Great site, can't wait to stay there again next year.
@EmilyS1613279 · Camped on Mar 24, 2025 at Campsite #49
Can't wait to go back! Great spot near bathroom and hosts in a clearing so great stargazing too!
@DavidS3927304 · Camped on Mar 23, 2025 at Campsite #56
Pros: Facilities and staff are greatCons: Noise and light from other campers. Trash on the ground around the campsites
@AlbertoR6235C1 · Camped on Mar 19, 2025 at Campsite #65
The bathrooms were not clean, and there was no toilet paper or hand soap available. The potable water dispensers for drinking were out of service, which was inconvenient for visitors.The camper vans were parked next to the tents, creating a lot of noise due to their power generators. In my case, they even turned on a home theater system, which caused additional disturbances. It would be ideal to separate the areas designated for campers from those for tent campers to avoid these types of issues.The ground in the camping area is rustic, and after rain or snow, it remains completely wet, making it difficult to rest comfortably. By comparison, in Zion N.P., they use fine gravel, which not only helps level the ground under the tent but also provides a more pleasant camping experience.Additionally, the website stated that the campground was fully booked when I tried to reserve three months in advance. However, upon arrival, the actual occupancy was only 60%.

Lugar incrvel! Check in super rapido pessoas muito atenciosas... fizemos um churrasco no camping e fizemos as trilhas mist mirror lake... na neve o local bonito demais... aconselho pegar no final do inverno pois as estradas sao de melhor acesso e nao tao frio... voltarei com certeza
@PamelaK2026168 · Camped on Mar 18, 2025 at Campsite #5
Upper Pines in the late winter/early spring is delightful. It's much less crowded -- like the park as a whole -- than in the summer. So it's quieter. Our site (# 5) is an excellent one. Any site on the outer side of a loop is better than the opposite, because there's no one behind you, and no one walking through your site.

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.
