The campsite is perfect, with everything you need. The best trails are close by.

Upper Pines is conveniently located close to Mirror Lake. The restrooms are heated . There was adequate space for two large vehicles. It got pitch dark at night, which I liked. We werent hassled at all by park staff.

It is the perfect location right in the middle of awesome hikes.

The campsite itself is well located, and the rangers were friendly and helpful. The site was quiet and the overall setting was enjoyable.One downside was the bathroom condition. The restrooms near my site were in fairly rough shape and, unlike other Yosemite bathrooms I used during this trip, did not have soap available, which was disappointing.A note for connectivity: at site 013, voice calls worked, but mobile data did not. This put the site in an odd gray zone where it wasnt possible to fully disconnect, but also not possible to reliably use data for maps or messaging. Worth knowing depending on your expectations.Overall, a nice campsite with great staff, but bathroom maintenance and clearer expectations around amenities and connectivity would improve the experience.

So beautiful! Kind rangers, clean restrooms

Campground was full, but quiet even with scouts camping adjacent to us. Weather was surprisingly good with no snow in the middle of December.

good overall as always.

We love Yosemite in Autumn! Yes, it was chilly, but the tradeoff is having the place to ourselves. Yosemite Valley inspires us and nurtures our souls. Upper Pines campground, hosted by Darren and Christine in the kiosk, felt like home. :)
@MateusN0FE4F62 · Camped on Dec 3, 2025 at Campsite #14
This is a beautiful campground with stunning views of El Capitan and Half Dome. On a clear night, the sky is absolutely breathtaking. On a full Moon it is surreal. This campground offers clean restrooms, drinking water fountain, and parking spots, and there are plenty of nearby trails that you can easily reach by shuttle.
@JohnH2789214 · Camped on Dec 2, 2025 at Campsite #12
Camp sites are to close to each other
@libardoB9766EC · Camped on Dec 2, 2025 at Campsite #76
One of the best places to go to in the winter, everything was very accessible, the park Rangers and the campground hosts were their friendly, professional and helpful. All the facilities were very clean as well. Definitely go back next year or sooner.

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.
