Obviously an excellent location, river within walking distance, access to trails, amenities etc. The spots are very close to neighbors with no privacy, but I understand the demand on the location. The biggest issue is at night everyone has a fire so its very Smokey since you are in the valley and it all sits in camp. They do have burn limits I think between 5-10pm. But If you are sensitive to smoke be aware.

It is sad to see the lack of park rangers and sad that management needs to clean the bathrooms because they have no help. We need to treasure our Parks.

Upper Pines is the essential campground on the valley floor. Always hard to book but worth it! Restrooms are abundant and usually clean. RV dump and potable water are readily accessible. One area for improvement is check in which can be slow and backed up.

Had a great time. Amenities useful and in decent condition. Had to swap campsites due to the difficulty booking multiple nights and couldnt get a third night as had hoped. A shame as there were dozens of unused sites of no shows.

It is a special place and the staff do a good job managing the campground. They were very friendly and helpful whenever we had a question or needed to shuffle between campsites.
