Gostei do camping, fomos de motor home, de 22 ps, vaga no era grande, mas era plana. As outras vagas eram muito prximas. Os banheiro eram bons, limpos, mas no contam com chuveiros.

Easy check-in, friendly staff and clean bathroom. Appreciate the camp crew for maintaining the bathroom clean.

These campsites are so difficult to acquire and for good reason. Waking up to these beautiful views everyday is just incredible. It is remarkable how well kept these sites are with the thousands of visitors that come through. Upper Pines is amazing.

@GinaM9031345 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #120

Love camping in Yosemite Curry Valley. Its convenient, beautiful, and easy access to showers/restrooms.

@BuffeeB041F3D1 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #199

Lots of space for tents, deep and also a spot for a hammock. The view from the site is beautiful since there is a break in the trees.

@JordanR7876926 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #93

Location is unbeatable. If youre lucky enough to get a spot here, youre right at the base of the Mist and John Muir Trail. Also walking distance to the creek and Curry Village. Bathrooms were clean and it was an added bonus that they flush.

@CourtneyN49801 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #200

Heads up that Site 200 had no shade whatsoever. It was pretty brutal until temperatures cooled around 5PM. Close proximity to bathrooms, garbage, and wash area. But well worth it, had a great experience.

@BorysPA7B83DD5 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #219

Great surroundings. Easy access

The week I spent solo traveling to Yosemite was among the best in my life. I spent three nights at upper pines and then three nights backpacking a route that hit snow creek - mt Watkins - Tenaya lake - mid sunrise lake - clouds rest - little Yosemite valley - half dome - mist trail. Upper pines specifically was an awesome campground. Everyone is respectful and quiet when needed. Beautiful location, not far from the crystal clear Merced. My site was 70 and I found it to be a great location.

@Annabelle22568 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #218

I understand that Yosemite is a very popular National Park with thousands of visitors every year but this campground was crammed to the brim. Every campground was squeezed next to another making the entire campground feel crowded and disconnected from nature. While Yosemite is amazing, and the location of this campground is perfect, the actual campground didnt hold the same magic as the rest of the park.

@ZerinT30768B4F · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #73

Id never leave if given the option. Thank you to Yosemite NPS for everything! And the Park Rangers who care. A campsite next to us was consistent on leaving food outside of bear boxes and they would come each night to make sure it was safe for all campers.

@GarettJ1D40CC6 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #114

Excellent to be in the park. Shouldnt do it any other way.We accidentally setup our tent out of bounds of the campground and got a warning from the ranger. But overall great experience.

@ErikP1279569 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #12

Great campground. Close to everything. Well patrolled by rangers.

@KenK5951313 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #167

Great location. Can be crowded and noisy.

@CraigR8509397 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #94

Very small spaces, high noise level, small well-used bathrooms, but beautiful park.

@MelissaW474369 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #6

Nice campsite (06) with some spotty TMobile service. Close to the shuttle, many trailheads and curry village. Relatively level spot. Campground is very crowded and gets smokey when the campfires start at 5pm. Close to the river with lots of swimming and tubing opportunities.

@ParamjotD87B07 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #152

We absolutely loved our time camping in upper pines. We travelled from Canada to see Yosemite and it didnt disappoint. Its so beautiful. We will visit again for sure.

@LaetitiaFD155F · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #112

Huge campground. Very noisy.Site was nice and flat. Big enough for 2 tents.

@TomaszS6C49DC9 · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #108

Beautiful, very large place

@SandhyaGD19959 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #87

The campground was clean and had access to flush toilets! Although it was a bit crowded I really enjoyed the proximity to trails and simply being able to stay in your tent at Yosemite!

@KristyS4429075 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #6

Upper Pines was a great location! Walking distance to Curry Village, river right across the way, relatively quiet campsite.

@FrankZ9425657 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #218

Crowded, loud. Spot is near a nice creek on the edge. But overall the spots are just too tight together to really enjoy the campsite

@DougF2575819 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #163

Upper Pines Campground is great. We had a wonderful time in athe meadow and by the river. I made a 8 mile bicycle loop in the valley including Happy Isles, Mirror Lake, Awhanee, Yosemite Falls and Camp Curry. Awesome!!!

@MarkL5886645 · Camped on Jul 9, 2025 at Campsite #203

A very crowded site but event was respectful of space, noise, and parking! Amazing spot to be right in the valley!

@KrishnaMA974DA · Camped on Jul 9, 2025 at Campsite #90

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.

@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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
