Upper Pines is always a great place to camp if you are lucky enough to get a spot! Nice pathways and shuttles to access the valley. Spot 39 is a great flat spot with trees at the back.

Great campground with beautiful views and walkable access to shuttles, trails and Curry Village.
Major Issues
@KarenS4720852 · Camped on May 6, 2024 at Campsite #39
Currently there is lots of construction. Plan for considerable extra walking as the shuttle is not going to the campground. The signage and maps have also not been updated, so there was a fair amount of frustration. CAMPERS: please know (1) there is no trash can at your site or in the bathrooms. Bag and carry all trash (including feminine hygiene products) to bear proof dumpsters at end of your loop. (2) REALLY!!! Do NOT feed ANY animals. We had an aggressive squirrel who clearly knew what a picnic table was and was determined to get around us for our food. When you feed them it may seem cute, but youre training them to be awful! (3) There are no showers in campground. Go to the pool area at City Village to shower.

Very difficult to back a 20’ trailer in when the spot directly across is occupied.

We had the perfect visit to Yosemite! You can't go wrong picking a campsite here, the views are amazing. We were able to stay warm and cozy in our truck camper while the temperature outside was in the 20-30's. We were fortunate enough to see a bear while we waited for sunset and fire fall, which we witnessed both nights!! I'm sold on Yosemite winter camping.

The maintenance crew for the campsites clearly dont care. The could not give one iota if they do a good hop on pliing. They dont shovel off the picnic branch and they dont shovel the walkways to the toilets, even the handicap toilets. We arrived to a single pile up against the table that resulted in a table invaded in ice. We shoveler the parking area to give us some space. There was no way to get to the fire ring and the table was buried. I guess they. Were to go back to the shop and smoke and bad mouth their employer. Only 2 loops are open so there is no excuse. Just flat out lazy.

Loved it because there weren't any generators being used that were close to us. Please stop people from running their generators! It ruins the whole outdoor experience.

Yosemite Valley any time is magical. But campers need to realize that in the Winter the shadows of the walls keep it dark a lot of the day. Real warmth and light starts about 9 am and can seem dim by 4 in the afternoon. If your in a tent trying to stay warm it can make nights long. In an RV without hookups you may find your batteries are going weak by morning. It's still a magic place but it is important to know that winter in the Valley is far different from summer. You will be in your tent or RV longer. No TV, internet or hookups. So bring a good book or something to do.

Worth the wait! And don't over pack on food and smell-ables! Everything has got to fit in that bear box, so your space is limited. Pack smart on the food and drinks!

Loud people, screaming kids, not managing kids, and them running through campsites. No real oversight in campground. People not respecting quiet hours! Too many fires. Everything is smokey in evenings. Should separate RV section from tenters. RVers are oftentimes not as loud as tenters. Some parks have RV only sections with no tents allowed. Not as many RVers have fires like tenters do.
Majority of sites are not level.

The places was in excellent condition, bring your wood andl clean around your place, the restroom was very clean and make you sure to keep the food inside the special containers to avoid the bears
