Bathrooms were disgusting with half the plumbing fixtures broken. The streets are ridiculously potholed to the point of safety hazard while trying to navigate over ice. Unfortunately, this campground keeps getting worse and worse.

The campsite was nice, needed better support from understaffed Yosemite resources.

Great spot and near to the bathroom and camp host and a minute from the river and entrance kiosk. Parking is spacious enough to fit 2 super duty f150s and the camping area is nice and flat and plenty of shade.

WE HAD 2 NIGHTS RESERVED AHEAD OF TIME AND WANTED TO STAY LONGER. WE WERE ABLE TO GET 1 MORE NIGHT ALTHOUGH WE HAD TO MOVE THE RV. THE CAMPGROUND WAS CLEARLY NOT FULL, MANY SITES APPEARED TO BE VACANT, YET WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GET MORE NIGHTS THROUGH RECREATION.GOV. THEY SEEM TO BE LOSING ALOT OF MONEY NOT FILLING CAMPGROUND TO ITS CAPACITY. IT IS ALWAYS A JOY TO CAMP IN YOSEMITE AND THIS TIME WAS NO DIFFERENT, THE CAMPGROUND HOSTS WERE NICE BUT I THINK THEY ARE NOT CATCHING THE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE IN AFTER THE KIOSK CLOSES AND LEAVE BEFORE THE HOSTS GO AROUND TO CHECK THOSE PEOPLE IN..AGAIN LOSING MONEY , NOT SURE HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO AVOID THIS...

My family and I visit Yosemite every year. Upper Pines is a great campsite. It’s close to trailheads and much more.

4 stars because some sites stay wet and muddy and the bathrooms didn't have soap. But honestly, it's Yosemite Valley and that alone is amazing.

We went during the winter season and roughed it, but was worth being in Yosemite.

My favorite campground. The staff and the Park Ranger are all awesome.

Campsite was great, clean, well spaced out and very quiet. We had an amazing time biking straight from the campground to hikes around the valley with our kids! It was frustrating that even as people didnt show up for sites they werent released on rec.gov. We had to change sites twice in 4 nights and our original site never had anyone come to it, so we could have stayed the whole time there. The cancellation policy and re-releasing of sites needs to be much better for a campground thats so high in demand!
