This was my first trip to Yosemite and it was wonderful! I haven't camped since I was a kid and this place was just perfect. The campsites are close together but we weren't bothered by our neighbors once. They were all very friendly. There are bathrooms with flush toilets but you better bring your own soap and towel. No showers,... More

We have been to Yosemite many times but this was the first time camping in the valley floor. LOVED IT!! We booked on-line 5 months ahead of time on www.recreation.gov and got a great site along the river. Of course all the spots along the river are the most popular, but most all of them are fine. The negative we... More

We enjoyed our stay at North Pines campground in October. We were lucky with warm sunny days, but it got pretty cold once the sun went down. Our site was close to the river which was lovely and the site was flat with tall pine trees. It had a good mix of shade and sunny spots. The camp was pretty... More

Arrived in the dark and was a little hard to find, though it was probably more due to it being off-peak season and the only campground open. Had been raining so lots of water lying around in very large puddles (glad we were in a campervan) so was slightly hard to tell the road from the camp site. Bear boxes... More

I was able to get a last minute site at the end of my Sequoia trip! I've camped many years in Yosemite Valley but never in N. Pines. I was impressed w/ the flatness of the sites compared to some of the other campgrounds. It was very hot when I pulled in with just a little bit of shade to... More

Overall, this is a pretty standard campsite (at least for a tent camper like me) as far as the national parks system goes. On the plus side, the bathrooms have flush toilets, running water and lights (no soap or paper towels/air dryer though). There aren't showers, but you can pay $5 for a shower and a towel at Housekeeping Camp... More

My first time driving an RV (31ft), pretty hairy drive getting to Yosemite. We took the 120, it had guard rails & walls but you are still driving on the edge off cliffs - SERIOUSLY. We drove out on the 41 to Fresno which was a little worse. There is also the 140, maybe it is an easier drive. This... More

We camped here during Memorial Day Wknd and found it to be a great location. Our campsite faced the Merced River and it was extra full this year. The campsites are spaced out well, separating you by parking spots or the road. Each site had a firepit and bear box. The rangers regularly made their rounds to enforce the quiet... More

We stayed two nights end of October 29-30. Awesome. Moved out of Upper Pines to site 511 with a river view. Big coyote ran through the middle of campground just before noon. Pretty exciting especially for our coonhound.
