Its Spring time with melting snows and the occasional snow shower. The campground has snow and water pools in spots so you should be prepared to drive and walk in this environment. The campsite was riddled with aluminum foil bits and other plastic litter but in better shape than expected due to the current political environment. I just pitched in and cleaned up the campsite. Wonderful location near the trail to Happy Isles and Mirror Lake. This is the best National Park!

The campground is in rough shape. Needs some work Its poorly laid out. All worth it to stay in Yosemite. Our neighbors who were 10 feet away left their trash out overnight and the crows tore it to shreds, they were lucky a bear didnt come by or the ranger. They did keep us up till 2am and this was in winter time. So, to sum it up, love the park, campground is not good.

Fall colors and no crowds

Wonderful campground. The restrooms could be cleaner and more modern.Shuttle Service is great!Not the fault of the campground or nps, but it's noisy because of the many vehicles and security systems of the cars

Experience was fine. No issues nor problems. In general, Maps need to be updated. We followed map (of valley) with trail that was shown (on map) to go from lower pines over to Ahwahnee along the river. No such trail exists. We were also curious as to why the campground sign showed "Full" when campground was probably less than 20% occupied. Just general questions.

Clean site and bathrooms. It was quiet by 9:00 pm.

We've camped at Upper Pines several times before but this time was the most cramped. We were at site #66 and the neighboring sites felt way too close. All four neighbors hand campfires/tables or tents within 20 feet of ours. We were so close we could have just put all our tables together and blended 5 families!

The bathrooms were also typically dirty - people are gross and don't keep things clean. I wouldn't want to be the park staff that have to clean the bathrooms.

But Upper Pines is in a fantastic location as you're within a mile or so walk to Mirror Lake, Happy Isles, The Mist Trail, and you're right next to the amenities at Curry Village.

Absolutely love camping here!

The campsites are very close together but should be expected since Yosemite is the Crown Jewel of National Parks and the compactness allows for more campers to stay in the valley. Upper Pines is ideally situated in the heart of Yosemite and very close to all the major attractions and hiking trails. The Restrooms were well maintained. Can’t wait to go back!

We stayed in March 2021 and it was great. Clean bathrooms, fire ring and picnic table. The campground was very quiet and close to trails.

Easy location to enjoy the valley floor, and walking paths in all directions.

Due to the pandemic the campground was operated with 50% or less capacity, we had no immediate neighbors that made the experience even more enjoyable. The restroom was clean and maintained nicely, and the best part was the Firefall!
