Upper Pines in the late winter/early spring is delightful. It's much less crowded -- like the park as a whole -- than in the summer. So it's quieter. Our site (# 5) is an excellent one. Any site on the outer side of a loop is better than the opposite, because there's no one behind you, and no one walking through your site.

Why do they not clean out the fire pits?? Why do they not clean the needles and leaves out of the parking space for each campsite??

#5 Site is near the entrance. You might think that would be a problem, but it is not. The site is spacious. Two or three tents, no problem. Two cars fit easily. Easy access to Mirror and Mist trails.

This site was big enough for a few tents and car. Close by to the ranger post and restroom. Restroom is clean, heated and always has tissue and hand soap . T mobile up to 3G.I will be back again sometime. Peaceful place.

Fantastic location, as always. Enjoyed visiting in mid-November when the crowds are gone. Sure, it was colder and rained a bit, but the hikes are still great and uncrowded.

Camping at Upper Pines was wonderful. The rangers and staff were very helpful. The campsites were clean.

Upper Pines is a great place to camp in order to spend an amazing time in Yosemite Valley. The sites are clean and well maintained. Bring bikes to get you around Yosemite Valley without having to rely on the shuttle.

Love camping in the valley and climbing! Feel so lucky to have gotten the spots. Only detraction was the massive RV camped right next to us running their generator. Thanks

Way to much campfire smoke.

Great spot with unreal views and low hassle check-in and check-out.

Site 5 was spacious with a fantastic view. Our family loves Yosemite and hopefully will be back next year.
