Customer service was awesome! Accommodating, site was clean, had a storage container for food. Great place to camp.

Upper Pines by late April is so nice for camping. The snow has passed and the rain is not a big issue anymore. Upper Pines was busy but pleasant. Bathrooms are just okay but I wish there were showers. The current reservation system has kept the numbers of campers and visitors to more tolerable levels throughout the park. After the campground checkin booth closes at 4pm, it a real shame to see so many campsite no shows on the posted list. I counted 60 that day with some coming later but the majority of these never came. We all know how difficult it is to book a campsite here.

Have camped here many, many times and it is always such a pleasure.

Awesome Experience

Beautiful camping area with many facilities nearby such as the restroom. Furthermore, this campground was located close by the Mist trail (Vernal Fall and Nevada Fall) and Mirror Lake. For the other trails, we took the free shuttle bus. The bus stop was 5 min away.

Due to the snow, the parking space was incredibly small. We were informed before going they had been cleared, but it was only about half cleared. With that said, one of the rangers who was on duty, Daniel, was outstanding and incredibly helpful. We were able to clear enough space and the site worked fine. We haven't camped at Yosemite in the snow before, but definitely would again after this trip. It was absolutely beautiful.

Hosts/gate personnel very friendly and helpful, sites small, no one camping on either side of us so good but would have been cramped if those sites were occupied. Close to path to Curry Village and road to Happy Isles

This site is right in the beautiful Yosemite Valley. You'll need to reserve it as soon as it opens for the booking because it sells out within seconds.

Campsites are on top of each other did not like that

It was our first time Yosemite and it was amazing. Regarding the grounds themselves it was perfect. We have a 3 and 5 year old and Upper Pines was definitely a great location and starting point for some amazing trails and waking distance for some food options if you want to take a break from cooking. Park staff was all great. Upper pines is also conveniently located near fresh water and dumping area for those RV’s. Can’t wait to go back!

This space #072 was short for our 25 ft C-Class motorhome. In fact the front of the RV slightly stuck out into the road a bit. The terrain was very uneven and I had to use many blocks in addition to the leveling device to get level.
But the location was great and the bathroom clean.

Given I could only reserve for one night, didn’t spend a whole lot of time at the campsite. I had a difficult time opening the food locker in the morning, possibly due to it freezing. I’m hoping to return soon and spend more time as the park is lovely.
