Great spot, clean, and easy access to the restrooms. Very scenic and walkable to popular hikes.

This particular site was a bit small, but it did the job. The restroom was clean and stocked with toilet paper.It's within walking distance of 2 tram stops, so it's very convenient. It's also within walking distance to Curry Village in case you need something from the store.

Site 031 Double wide drive slightly flooded when we arrived. Drained by the next day even though it was raining through the night. Under the tree canopy so partially shaded. Good site overall, fairly level with a slight slope toward the rear. large barrier prevents you from backing deeper into the site. Park was clean in spite of limited staffing. Camp Hosts friendly and welcoming.

January is cold but very uncrowded. Campground is near the bus stops and curry village. But the websites are wrong. The restaurants in curry (and most of the rest of the park) are only open fri-sun.

Upper Pines in snow and almost empty: How good can it get?

Close to restrooms but not where people will walk through your campsite.

We loved our experience at Upper Pines under Half-Dome. It was so beautiful and very convenient to get to key locations in the Valley via bikes, walking or shuttle buses. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the bathrooms clean, ample water refill stations. Highly recommend!

AMAZING setting. Camp sites were close together. The bathrooms were clean and the camp was in such a great location to catch a shuttle or to wake up at the base of half dome. Saw woodpeckers, deer, and a coyote all in our brief two-night stay.

Difícil describir con palabras un lugar tan mágico. El campground es bien simple, limpio y todo funciona bien.

Beautiful place!

Park staff very friendly, campgrounds were very neat and clean. Same with campsite. Easy to get around, and the creek was great to put your feet in and cool off. I would highly recommend staying in this campgrounds.

During our 5 nights at Yosemite, we stayed in the Upper Pines Campground 3 nights... in 3 different campsites. Due to the competition in the reservation process, we could not secure a campsite for the Friday and Saturday nights and ended up staying in the tents at Curry Village. The reservation process was very frustrating, as we have tried 3 different times over the course of two years to get "a" campsite at Yosemite. Fortunately, on this trip we were using a rented campervan, so moving to a different site each day wasn't a problem for us. I think it would be very frustrating for tent campers to have to pack up each day and move to a different site. It would be nice to know the "magic" necessary to secure a single campsite for an entire trip. The campground was clean and surprisingly quiet, although a cold spell probably has something to do with the minimal evening activity and noise, as it wasn't very comfortable to sit outside with temps in the 30's. The bathrooms were cleaned daily. From Upper Pines, we had good access to the John Muir Trail, Mist Trail, and Half-Dome Trail (all the same trailhead). There was also a nice leisurely hike around the campround (Happy Isles Trail). The Mirror Lake trail was also a short walk from the campground. The shops and food at Curry Village was a very short drive away, as was the evening (clear sky) sunset on Half-Dome. The shuttle service was not operating while we were there. North Pine and Lower PIne were also open and had similar campsites and amenities. There is a lot to see in Yosemite and we were excited to finally get there!

Yosemite was amazing and the campground was clean, staff friendly and it was great.
@MattS859 · Camped on May 9, 2021 at Campsite #31
Very flat usable area sites. Ground is dirt covered with dry pine needles. Ample trees throughout. Plenty of bathrooms that are clean. It was surprisingly quiet even before quiet hours 10pm. Bring bikes! Great time riding around the valley.
@StevenS889 · Camped on Apr 12, 2021 at Campsite #31
I love to hike and the Mist Trail was not crowded at all and it's do beautiful!
@DavidM205 · Camped on Mar 10, 2021 at Campsite #31
Had a good site. Very nice after the storm.
