It was my first time visiting Yosemite. I had two sites for two nights. This was the first one and site 18 was a wonderful space for me. Close to the entrance and to the restroom. Open area, no shade but I enjoyed that. Maybe I wouldn't have if it was warmer. No, it wasn't very private but as I was a first time camper alone, I enjoyed having people around. Nice neighbors across from me. Would love to camp in this spot again. Don't forget to look up and around. Great views.

An excellent well maintained designated campground. Noise control is excellent after 10pm.

Our stay is great, even though campsites are close to each other, people are respectful and did not make noise. However, one cubicle in the female restroom next to campsite 18 is out of order, and there are only 2 cubicles. One morning, the flush in that cubicle is not working and someone left a poop, hence the only open cubicle cannot be used so I need to run all the way to the restroom near campsite 48, which has 3 working cubicles. But in the afternoon, the flush is already working.Overall, I still recommend camping in upper pines

Was promised bears if I put my food in the bear locker, but saw none unfortunately. Very disappointing.

Upper Pines was perfect for my Yosemite experience. I am not the type to be hanging in the camp. For me, it was early to rise and hike and bike. Upper Pines is perfectly located that I didn't need my car at all for my excursions (Vernal Falls, Yosemite Falls, Bridalveil Falls, Mirror Lake, Happy Isles). A bike is everything for getting around the Valley floor. A photo at every turn.

We loved Yosemite. We had a hard time creating an online account to register for an available campsite since you could only register online and the internet was not very good. It would have been nice to have a person to person option. The ranger was very helpful and he deserves 5 Stars as he stayed overtime until we got it straightened out. We are grateful for that.

The lady at the gate was excellent at welcoming us and provided all the information we needed.

Campground was full and rangers didn’t enforce when big party’s and crowds gathered in certain campsites. A party of around 50 people and nothing was done. Restrooms were ok and cleaned once a day. This campground needs to be updated with electricity and improved bathroom and added shower facilities. The location in the valley is hard to beat but that’s the only thing it has going for it.
