Campsite location was great and suited our needs. Very close to walkable/ bikeable paths, hiking trails, and a shuttle stop to take you anywhere you need to go! Our site said it could fit two cars but it was very cramped (two ford escapes) which made things kind of unexpectedly difficult for parking. One camp staff member was incredibly rude to us despite us following all of the check-in rules and doing nothing wrong. Besides that, everyone else who worked there was very friendly!

No showers and no electricity. But it is beautiful and wonderfully located. Bathrooms were clean.

Great location, close to hiking trails and the Happy Isle Nature Center which offers fun art classes.

it is a quite crowded campground but getting up in the morning already in the park is fabulous. It is not the type of campsite that encourages sitting around and enjoying the scenery. You are close to trailheads for Happy Isles and MIrror Lake. Use the shuttle and save your walking for the trails.

Upper pines is such a great spot. The spots that back up at the end of the loops are ideal but there isnt a bad spot in Yosemite Valley.

So special to be in majestic Yosemite Valley.

Great stay. My only suggestion is better signage for water fill locations

This is my second consecutive year camping at Upper Pines. I chose the 220's spots because of the proximity to the trail leading to Half Dome. It's really convenient! Especially if you cross the brook pass the tree line. ;) The camp sites themselves are pretty cool and spacious. I would definitely camp here again and recommend anyone to do so.
