Consistently a great experience even with the holiday crowds and traffic.

The facilities are clean and heated! In November crowds are gone and of course the valley is beautiful.

Liked our campsite -- close to two bathrooms which were both kept clean. One bathroom had just one stall available during one day but the other had 3 stalls available. Very quiet after 10pm. Check-in was smooth and check-in person was very nice.

All in All a good week in Yosemite- it was pretty cold at night- so difficult for sitting outside to utilize the fire ring- or enjoy the night sky- yes it was December- so to be expected. Our neighbor camp site had 6 people- so very noisy- as they were tent campers- it seems like that could be separated a bit more- super nice- just loud. The trails away from the valley floor basically had no one on them- was very nice- a bobcat walked right past us- which was very cool- beautiful scenery as always - nice cold weather- good way to get out in December

Overall a nice stay, Im thankful for getting cheap accomodation in Yosemite Valley. The campground is a bit more cramped than other campgrounds Ive visited, but not too bad. Most sites are close to bathrooms. There you can also find water bottle refill stations. No soap at the bathrooms. The campsites with lower numbers are closer to the entrance/exit while the higher numbers are further away but closer to the Mist Trail trailhead. There is a place you can dip your feet in the river close to the entrance (no shower facilities). The check in had limited opening hours (10am-4pm) so if you arrive after 4pm, and want to start hiking early the next day, you might lose your campsite if you have booked for several days (as I understood it).

Cons: Cannot secure a campsite in person - has to be online. The campsites dont have any space in-between them, they are stacked with the neighbors. Neighboring tents or RVs are less than 10 feet away from your own tent and site. No privacy or sense of separation. When we arrived - our campsite was covered in snow (it didnt even look like a site). Couldnt even get it paved - all the other camp sites were paved and ours was under a couple feet of snow - but we had to have a online reservation so we couldnt scope out a paved spot ahead of time. It was very frustrating.Pros: It was a very very beautiful location - could hear the snow avalanching off the mountain in the distance at night. We had beautiful views of the mountain and nature scenery and it felt somewhat magical. The bathrooms were heated and clean. There was hot food and drink nearby at the little village next door (Curry village). The campground honored a 50% discount for military.

Beautiful area, well maintained campground! Wish I had planned to stay longer.

Large campground space, close to toilets. Not far from bus stop. Showers in Curry Village - not far.

Very good location. Little big and tight to next camper
@SiddhantS174 · Camped on Apr 18, 2021 at Campsite #41
Amazing campground with very well maintained amenities. The location is perfect as it is right next to the trailhead for Mist Trail and it is perfect for stargazing because of the low light pollution.

Of course Spectacular views and surroundings, Campground still had quite a bit of snow so not the most user friendly for maneuvering a trailer, but happy to have a fire and be in the park. Bathrooms kept clean and toasty warm, host are very nice and assigned rangers very knowledgeable and friendly. I thanked the ranger for taking the time to clean up a campsite that campers had left with trash and unattended kitchen and food, that was a shame to have to witness. People need to be more aware.....

Upper pines was great! Fantastic views of Monday Morning Slab from our campsite. Super close to curry village store if you need something.

The campsite itself is kind of terrible. It's cramped, there's no space between neighboring sites, there aren't trees. If you want to stargaze at night, you have to walk pretty far to get away from car traffic. But boy is it convenient. If you want to get to a trailhead early in the morning, there's no substitute for sleeping in the valley.
