While the outdoors are for everyone I always try to be respectful when camping around others. This includes not walking straight through other people camp to get to the bathroom. I understand camping near the restroom causes this more and while I usually dont say anything to people when they do this, I wish other campers were a little more courteous or the campground explained campground etiquette a little more. Maybe this review will help spread the word.

It's hard to complain when you've scored a camping spot in Yosemite Valley. It is always a 5-star nature experience. However, site 38 in Upper Pines (the only spot we were able to book in the frantic reservation clicking) is right by the bathroom, with power-flush toilets and motion-activated lights, that make it difficult to sleep (earplugs + putting ones sleepingbag over one's head helped). There was a late-season rain/snowstorm May 4th-5th, and we got wet and chilled in our tents. In the morning freezing temperatures we were not allowed to have a campfire (because it was after May 1st), so it was difficult to warm up until a few hours later when the sun came out. Would be better if the cutoff date for morning campfires was based on temperature/weather and not just calendar.The shuttles are agonizingly slow (they sit at stops). For shorter distances it makes sense to walk, or in early May it wasn't a problem to drive and park.

Site 38 is pretty good if you don't mind the lights from the restroom.

Small campsites but perfect for an RV. Clean bathrooms.

The Campground sites are very close- with no buffer between- the bathroom which we were right on top of was not heated (the other bathrooms were). I understand that the Park is understaffed at this time- but there was no one at the Kiosk, no camp host so no over site of any camp rules- regarding generators, washing dinner dishes in the bathroom sinks and then leaving who knows what to sit in the sinks- it was really gross.
