Beautiful as always Valley was clean considering theres basically no one there (ranger)

We stayed at Upper Pines Campground in October, and it was an amazing experience! The fall colors were absolutely stunning - trees turning orange and red everywhere. It did get pretty cold at night, so we ended up sleeping in our Tesla Model Y instead of a tent, but it was totally worth it. A peaceful night under the stars before exploring Yosemite the next day - unforgettable!

Very well maintained, location is good, we had quiet night.

Camp hosts are very personable, kind and helpful. Womens bathroom was squeaky clean and warm. I heard mens bathroom was, well, disrespected by the users. Camp site was large with zero litter. Bear box is huge. Park shuttles nearby so you can leave your car here. Showers at Curry Village surpassed expectations. Grab some firewood at the bottom of hill. Curry store charged me $17 for a box.

The campground is great.
@WestADCC826993 · Camped on Oct 17, 2025 at Campsite #102
Great location for families and people wanting the convenience of being in the valley. Will probably stay outside the valley next camping trip but still had a great experience.
@Tiffannee498E7 · Camped on Oct 17, 2025 at Campsite #70
The campgrounds are very well maintain and come with an incredible view. Unfortunately, the campsites are so packed in on top of each other. Make sure to bring firewood with you because the cost of buying it there is outrageous.

Upper pines campground was amazing! Site 239 has plenty of space and could easily fit a few tents and pretty level. During the day you get equal amount sun and shade from the trees in the site. Not far from the bathrooms so in the middle of the night youre not hiking. Bathrooms are clean. Phone service was surprisingly good, had no problems with calls. We went during mid October and the site is along a small creek that had some water running through. The rangers were all very friendly and informative about bears that pass through often. Overall had a great time, will definitely be coming back soon!
@EmilyB3587069 · Camped on Oct 16, 2025 at Campsite #173
Always such an excellent time in the valley-difficult to get sites due to popularity-but always the best time. Me and my friends go every year and its so good to get together.
@ItaloA409E94D4 · Camped on Oct 16, 2025 at Campsite #95
Very affordable option to enjoy Yosemite.
@ErikaW49D750B6 · Camped on Oct 15, 2025 at Campsite #81
This campground is located right at the heart of so many hikes and points of interest. They made it all very easy. Plenty of bathroom facilities all located close to the campsites. The rangers were all so friendly and helpful!
@AlexN649C6C1CF · Camped on Oct 15, 2025 at Campsite #182
Centrally located, clean facilities, stellar experience.
@KevinS8513228 · Camped on Oct 15, 2025 at Campsite #160
I have camped here many time before and the campground has not changed. Most of Yosemite is so over crowded in Spring Summer and Fall that it is difficult to find any peace and quiet. Fortunately, for those who are hardy enough to camp out, there is peace and quiet in Upper Pines. I saw a maintenance worker at the rest rooms each morning and the facilities were clean and the plumbing worked well. Pretty close to the shuttle bus stop. Easy walk to Happy Isles, Mist Trail and Mirror Lake trail. On this trip in October there was no sun in campsites until after 9:30 am. Temperatures overnight near freezing - bundle up!
@KionBAA1A48C3F · Camped on Oct 15, 2025 at Campsite #58
Good spot. A bit of a packed campground, but that's too be expected in somewhere like Yosemite. Close to bathrooms but not too close.
@MaryM8380528 · Camped on Oct 14, 2025 at Campsite #32
Staying at Upper Pines is always the best place to stay! So close to everything.
@DaveVF57F626D0 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025 at Campsite #46
Didnt catch the name married couple hosts but they were great. Very friendly and informative. Campgrounds very clean. Maintenance team came by and repaired the latch on the bear box. They had to drill out the rivets and left all the metal shavings in the box and on the ground. We had to clean up behind him. Besides that it was all good.
@JessicaB869322 · Camped on Oct 12, 2025 at Campsite #171
Gate check in staff was wonderful, campground patrons followed quiet hours, overall wonderful experience! Winter storm hit on our second day and we left early. We received a refund for our second night which was unexpected!
@CarolineDF2262 · Camped on Oct 12, 2025 at Campsite #45
What an amazing experience down in Yosemite Valley! The campground sites are so spacious that we didn't feel on top of anyone else despite the large number of visitors. The bathrooms had running water and were regularly cleaned (although there was no soap or hand sanitizer provided in the one closest to us, so bring your own just in case.) And huge trees providing perfect hammock spots! If you're staying in a tent, I highly recommend earplugs + maybe an eyemask since we did have one neighbor leave early in the morning and the truck motor noise and headlights woke us up.
@SamsT37BEA8182 · Camped on Oct 12, 2025 at Campsite #76
It was perfect for me.
@ANAAB344F8416C · Camped on Oct 9, 2025 at Campsite #64
It was hard to find a spot for the dates of our permit for half dome, try to stay alert with the release of spots because it was pretty accesible the day we stay there, hope next time we can save more than one night. Pizza was soooo good and the people that help us were tooo nice
@mikel7503834 · Camped on Oct 9, 2025 at Campsite #162
Well run campsite and new water fill stations are great
@AndrewH3730305 · Camped on Oct 8, 2025 at Campsite #59
It was excellent...except for the campfire smoke. The smoke hangs in the valley and gets into everything, including your car ventilation. Yosemite national park needs to do something about the out of control campfire activity in their campgrounds. The air quality is a health risk.

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.
