About North Pines Campground

For the 2026 season, North Pines campground will utilize a one-time Early Access Lottery which allows successful applicants to make a reservation within the entire 2026 season. Additional information may be found on Yosemite’s website.  Any remaining availability will be released during normal on-sale dates beginning with the February 15 on-sale.When not on a lottery, campsites at North Pines are available up to five months in advance on the 15th of each month at 7:00 a.m. (PT). For example, on February 15, arrival dates for the time period June 15 to July 14 become available to reserve, and therefore, the full arrival date window would be from season opening to July 14. North Pines Campground is located in breathtaking Yosemite National Park in Central California's rugged Sierra Nevada Mountain Range at an elevation of 4000 feet. The site is situated in the heart of Yosemite Valley, an awe-inspiring landscape containing many of the famous features for which Yosemite National Park is known. Within Yosemite, visitors can gaze upon waterfalls, sheer granite cliffs, deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, vast wilderness areas and so much more.Reservation tips! Campsites in Yosemite are extremely popular and typically sell out in minutes on the regular on-sale dates. Login to your account or create a new account before the 7:00 a.m. (PST) release time. You may only add reservations to your cart and proceed with your reservation if you are logged into your account.

We had a fabulous stay with our RV pitch right next to the beautiful Merced river. Plenty of facilities in easy reach and friendly and helpful rangers when you have questions. Highly recommend.

Wonderful campground. Great staff.
Some campgrounds are not released til spring due to flooding, ie: 136, but notification for these are very spotty at best.

Yosemite never disappoints. North Pine campground is awesome. Had a nice relaxing time. Clean sites, not a lot of noise, close to the river.

Solid campsite and on the edge of the campground by the river. Flat ground, bathroom with flushable toilets. Potable water at the campground. Check-in was easy and shuttle system is great. Super convenient to everything in Yosemite. The campsites are right next to each other but people were respectful and quiet at quiet hours.

Site 209 was spacious enough for a group of 5 adults with 3 tents. We were there over Labor Day weekend, so it was a bit hot during the day. Luckily our site had some shade, and a lot of sites had trees that allowed for hammocks. Restrooms were close by and clean, and there was a place to dump cooking waste and dishwater. Fairly easy walk to Curry Village and Happy Isles for the Mist/JMT trailhead. The only downside wass the persistent squirrels invading our area, especially during the day when most sites are empty. A ranger came by to remind us to keep food within arm’s reach or lock it up in the bear locker, and you seriously need to because these squirrels have no fear. Please don’t feed the wildlife! Otherwise, it’s a beautiful campsite despite the crowds, and we’d definitely recommend if you’re lucky to get it!

We stayed in North Pines for a few days. We brought our bicycles and thoroughly enjoyed getting around the valley. The rangers were very helpful addressing any of our questions.

Camping in Yosemite Valley is always a treat! Waking up to tall trees, towering rock formations, and beauty everywhere you look is a wonderful way to start the day. The campground spots are close together, and backing into my spot was a bit challenging, but after some maneuvering, I made it in just fine. Restrooms were clean and I was centrally located to several trails so I could easily explore the area. The free shuttle buses take you to all the must-see areas. Pack a lunch and a water bottle and explore the trails! The fall colors are especially nice, but I'd go again any time I can snag a rare open spot. Reservations are hard to come by! Grab one as soon as you see it, then plan your trip around that.
