I love this campsite! Beautiful sites, close to the river and shuttle pickups, running water and bathrooms. Wonderful spot

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in July, and while we enjoyed our stay overall, it was not the greatest campground experience. The location was great, allowing us to just walk to the hikes we wanted to rather than battling with vehicle traffic. However, we had other people walking directly through our site the whole time we were there to get to the restrooms. If you are just camping here as a convenient place to sleep in between hikes/site seeing during the day, I can recommend this campground, but if you plan to relax and hang out at your site, you may want to look elsewhere.

I think the location in Yosemite Valley is great, but I otherwise didn't love the campground. The facilities are okay but nothing special. The sites are packed pretty closely together. This was okay on weeknights but on the weekends it was very noisy with neighbors not respecting quiet hours (both early and late) so there was only a small window for sleep. The air gets very smoky when campfires are allowed (between 5-10pm), with many people not following the rules and extinguishing their campfires at 10pm. I struggled with air quality here in a way that I haven't struggled at other campgrounds. Overall, I would consider camping here again on a weeknight, but I thought it was too noisy, busy, and smoky on weekends.

The campground had many gas powered generators from the campers and motorhomes that fired up at 7:00 AM every morning. I don't like to hear the noise that early! This campground doesn't get any sun this time of year, makes for a very cold day.

Restrooms could be updated, but always wonderful to be in Yosemite.

Stayed two nights at sites 78 & 46 in 2/2024 to see the fire falls @ the excellent Upper Pines Campground. Both sites are great and near the well maintained bathrooms. The camp host and the lady at the checkin post were very helpful and welcoming. Would certainly return to Upper Pines again! One suggestion to the NPS though: too many potholes on the loop roads, hope the problem be fixed soon.

It was a great campsite! Being next to the bathrooms was nice, theres no hand soap so make sure to take soap/hand sanitizer! Potable water is accessible and theres a place to dump your water as well. About a 10 minute drive to Yosemite Lodge. It had snowed the week before so we went snow-shoeing in Badger Pass to Dewey Point, which was so beautiful.

No complaints really. Except the heater in the women's bathroom by our campsite was not working. In the mens side the lights were not working art night

Enjoyed the space. Friendly neighbours.

Good camping site in the eastern part of the Yosemite Valley close to the trails and to the shuttle stop. The only minor disadvantage was that there are no showers available in the vicinity. As always in Yosemite NP you should reserve within the first 10 seconds after the opening to secure a place.
