Great campground! Nice location, space, close walking to everything in the valley. Only downside is no soap in the bathrooms.

The campground worked out well! A little chilly, but first time able to stay in the valley since 1990!

4 nights at the campsiteWe had site #009.And I think it was the most beautiful of all.Superb view of the North Dome.No rear neighbors.The toilets are neither too far nor too close :)The only negative point is: No shower. We have to go near Curry Village to find some.
@KatherineCD045 · Camped on May 25, 2023 at Campsite #9
Upper Pines was absolutely amazing! The shuttle stop and Curry village were within easy walking distance, so it was super easy to get around the park!! Completely loved it! Will be coming back!

Always a beautiful place to visit.

I think the days of having everyone bring their own firewood should be over. There were so many large fires plus generators that the air quality in camp was abysmal. I was camping with my infant and kept her inside because the air quality was so poor. There was a visible haze looming over the grounds. I'd advise that the campground have wood bundles provided and limit one bundle per site when the campground is full, or do some type of fire lottery . The air was terrible

Camping at Upper Pines, Yosemite National Park is a very good and memorable camping. So nice to be in nature and enjoyed a lot. The campground is in very convenient place accessible to bus stop and river. Thank you.

Bear boxes were clean, Park Rangers were super helpful, and the campsite is nice and quiet at night, despite it being packed!
@EmileeY736F3A2 · Camped on May 23, 2022 at Campsite #9
Great site. We arrived after hours and checking in at the kiosk was so easy the next day.

Great campsite, with big views of North Dome and Half Dome. The bathroom was clean and uncrowded. For the most part the campground was quiet, some music was too loud during the late afternoon.

Could have known about village store being closed and prepared better. One cafe is not enough for so many people visiting.

Very clean bathrooms-heated even in the winter. Spots are close together but doesn't feel crowded in the winter. Gets very little sun in the winter but great location in the valley!
@MontyM02619917 · Camped on Nov 11, 2019 at Campsite #9
We were so lucky to get a camping spot in November just 2 weeks before the weather turned bad.This was the best time to come as the busses were half full and the crowd was light.It was a little cool at night but very nice during day.The only thing we missed was not seeing a bear and no water for the water falls ,other than that we had a great time tent camping and would come back.
Good
