This is a decent but very crowded campground. Very few sites have any real privacy, with sites often spilling on top of each other. Bear lockers that appear to be on other people's sites but are actually yours. Often no path to the restroom that doesn't involve walking through at least one other person's site. So don't come expecting an idllyic scene, these are functional sites that give you the great advantage of staying right in the heart of Yosemite Valley. This particularly campground is essentialy at the base of Half Dome, and the extra bonus is you're EASY walking distance to the Mist / Muir Trail(s). These are very popular and other folks park as much as half a mile away from the trailhead, but you just have to negotiate some fallen trees (put there on purpose to deter...something....people from sneaking out of campground or sneaking in?).We had a nice time here and with very careful use of battery, spent three nights in midl/late May. In case it isn't clear to you, there is no water, no electric and the sewer is a nearby dump station. There are lots of bathrooms with flush toilets and cold running water, but understand that A LOT of people use these and they can become quite terrifying!!

This reservation period was in May 2023, during the melt of a historic snow pack and threatened flooding of the valley. We were allowed to camp with the understanding that we could count on 2 days and that every day, our stay would depend on the monitoring and water levels of the Merced River that runs through the valley. So the valley had a very small population of campers, and our enjoyment of the park (we know it well) was amplified by the pure joy of having most of our trails little used, very quite nites, no traffic jams. This was the BEST spring trip to Yosemite valley I have every had! The rangers and staff were excellent, the care of tey bathrooms was fabulous, the hosts were relaxed, becuase there were so few of us camping there. I think we were really lucky to be there at that time. BUT, if you ever get a chance to camp in the valley for at least two nights, you should do it. This is an amazing park. That said, many of the facilities are run down, and there was the highest level of micro-trash in the campsites I have ever seen. I know that staff is very over worked, but I do not know why the fire rings were filled with ashes and trash was every where. I spend at least 4 hours of this trip using a grabber to pick up trash in the campsites, filling 2 15 gallon kitchen trash bags.

We loved the location of the Upper Pines Campground in Yosemite NP. It is so close to the village and to the many sites and activities within the park. It seemed to us that no matter where you are in the campground just look up there is an amazing view. We were able to get a last minute day of reservation thanks to someone’s cancellation.

Perfect location. Easy access to trails and the Merced River.
