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.

Camp sites are to close to each other

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.

poor cell svc in Yosemite makes it difficult to access rec gov.

Rangers and camp hosts are great, but the fact that the camp hosts live in RVs means that they do not hear or notice people running their generators in the middle of the night. If you're tent camping in winter, you should expect to hear generator noise throughout the night. No soap in the bathroom is nasty- toilets shouldn't even exist without soap dispensers nearby. These things should be constructed together, with the expectation that the toilet will be used for activities which will result in the need for hand soap. Other than that, the bathrooms were pretty clean and were obviously being cleaned on a daily basis. These sites are tiny compared to other campgrounds in California but very spacious as compared to Oregon state parks. As compared to Camp 4 there are a lot less issues with people walking through your site or next to your tent, but way more babies crying and generator noise.

There is no place in Yosemite that isn't beautiful. You won't be disappointed by the park, the trails and the scenery. I can say when visiting at this time of year, layer up on the clothing and bedding. Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous!
@JonPaulHAC9768 · Camped on Nov 30, 2025 at Campsite #26
We love camping at Upper Pines! I would highly recommend staying here if youre in the area.
@GrahamH87AD71C · Camped on Nov 29, 2025 at Campsite #77
This campsite is the perfect location to walk to many of the Yosemite sights and trails. Nice shade and decent spacing. Bathrooms are ok, but could do with a bit of love.
@RachaelL834364 · Camped on Nov 27, 2025 at Campsite #67
I have stayed in Upper Pines twice now and both times have been great! Its a quick walk to Curry Village and the shuttle, very convenient.
@LourdesC7E3E7D · Camped on Nov 26, 2025 at Campsite #10
We love this place! We were a family of six and we really liked the location and the spaciousness of the campsites. The bathrooms were clean and heated. I also liked the proximity to hiking and climbing trails. We will definitely be back.
@Angyvette248DD · Camped on Nov 25, 2025 at Campsite #41
Beautiful Campsites and beautiful view
@MikeROB5C375B9 · Camped on Nov 24, 2025 at Campsite #34
Why can't you open the rest of Upper Pines for the Thanksgiving weekend? Also, if you're so determined to close off half the campground you should open the back half. Much better campsites and higher ground to keep from flooding.
@NickB3851959 · Camped on Nov 22, 2025 at Campsite #30
We love camping in Yosemite, and have always done Upper Pines campground. This site was tough to fit our 19 foot trailer and our tow vehicle, but we made it work. Bathrooms have heat and TP, but no soap. Campground was clean and not too crowded.
@DianeS9755786 · Camped on Nov 22, 2025 at Campsite #65
Upper Pines is a great campground with clean restrooms and friendly hosts.
@DanH6147433 · Camped on Nov 18, 2025 at Campsite #27
I don't understand why most of the loops are closed. It's not like you need that much extra staff since most if not all the campers do not need assistance. If it is a maintenance of the bathroom and trash pickup issue then close the bathrooms and remove the trashcans and post a note saying you are in a no amenities, packin/packout campground.
@BrittanyL90B62 · Camped on Nov 14, 2025 at Campsite #37
A great experience as always. Friendly staff.Great campsites. Clean bathrooms. Thank you.
@SarahG7471679 · Camped on Nov 14, 2025 at Campsite #56
Nice camp spot, clean bathrooms. Perfect location for exploring Yosemite Valley.
@GaryF7333860 · Camped on Nov 13, 2025 at Campsite #42
On-site managers were very helpful. Campground was closed in 4 of the 6 loops. I expect this was due to expected low use during this time of year. However, as it was VERY competitive online to get the available sites, I believe this practice should be reconsidered and more campsites made available so that others with RVs can come and enjoy Yosemite.We also noted that NPS Rangers were out getting visitors to move illegally parked cars from the dump station-a big help when RVers needed to come in and use site. Also Rangers were pulling over speeders. GREAT JOB!
@JonathanG61769 · Camped on Nov 13, 2025 at Campsite #9
even though it was raining, the site wasn't flooded, and we had a great time
@BethK9EC076EDA · Camped on Nov 12, 2025 at Campsite #3
The campground and campsite were well maintained. The weather was rainy, especially at night. The rain rewarded us with rapids on the Merced River and raging waterfalls!
@KenR7711474 · Camped on Nov 11, 2025 at Campsite #80
Arrived during the shutdown but staff was there to check me in. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the camp and park are in good condition. Rest rooms were clean. Comfortable campsite.
@SteveW7867249 · Camped on Nov 11, 2025 at Campsite #65
Clean campsite. Reservation system works, but clunky when trying to update reservations.
@AndrewW8618299 · Camped on Nov 11, 2025 at Campsite #70

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.
