Pros: You are in the park, friendly park service staff, you are close to so much beauty and nature. You are 45 min from Yosemite Valley. We stayed in Site 52 and it had 2 tent spots that were mostly flat.
Cons: You camp very close to others (think: hear your neighbor snoring so bring ear plugs), it's dusty, parking is tight, you don't get a spot necessarily right next to your camp spot (think. parking areas not spots), no showers. You are about 45 min away from Yosemite Valley but it really doesn't matter that much because the drive is so dang beautiful! Some of the campsites were sloped.

Our site was not flat at all, so there wasn’t anywhere good to put our tent. The campground seemed a bit tight with the sites really close together.

Wir sind sehr enttäusch von diesem Platz!!!!!
Das Portal recreation.gov verkauft auf diesem Platz die Site 12 für Wohnmobile 25 ft. Diese Site ist so schräg, daß man den Höhenunterschied nicht ausgleichen kann. Man fällt förmlich aus dem RV und muss dann steil reinklettern. Die Länge des Platzes, um nicht die Durchfahrt zu blockieren, ist zu kurz, nicht für 25 ft geeignet. Wer hier nicht Autofahren kann, ist verloren und fährt mit dem Heck auf die großen Findlinge.
Platz für Unternehmungen: der Platz liegt gleich am Eingang des NPs, somit viele Fahrkilometer, wenn man sich den Park anschauen möchte. Die Shuttlebusse fahren nur im inneren Bereich.

Unlevel site (described as “Moderate slope” on RA) Ground was churned up so we moved to another (better) CG down the road.

Friendly staff. Nice little campground on the way to/from Yosemite North entrance. Overnighted here as I wanted to see Hetch Hetchy, which was right down the road. It's a great place to stay.

Campground sites were very close to each other with little foliage. Location was good for entry point to the park.

We ended up getting 3 nights in North Pines and canceled our reservation. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Please bring back Liqer and Upper River campgrounds. The number people that are trying to make camping reservations has grown exponentially. Surely there is some corporation in the recreation business that would fund the restoration.
These are the peoples' parks, not Yosemite Conservancy's private playground.
