The entire trip was awesome! The staff is friendly and helpful. The views from our campsite were breathtaking, and the vibe throughout the campgrounds was relaxed. I hope to be able to snag another reservation in the future!

It was our first time at this campground. In prime spot of everything. Our spot was more on the narrow side and there’s no way you can fit 2 cars.

Perfect campsite, close to everything. We got the one with a river view, the best campsite we have ever been to. However, on the day we went, it rained all day.

I had one of the best experiences of my life staying at North Pines Campground in Yosemite. Everything about this place is incredible — from the breathtaking natural surroundings to the peaceful atmosphere that makes you truly disconnect and enjoy the moment.
What made our stay even more special were the hosts, Steve and Debbie. They are genuinely wonderful people who clearly love what they do. They were incredibly kind, always willing to help, and made us feel welcome from the very first moment. No matter what question we had, they were there with a smile and great advice.
This campground is not just a place to stay — it’s an experience you’ll remember forever. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Camping in Yosemite Valley is one of the best experiences in the NPS. I have nothing but admiration for the Park Rangers and staff who keep our beautiful parks running. They deserve MORE funding, and it's devastating to see the constant attacks from those who seek to dismantle them for corporate gain.

Probably the best campsite in the entire park. Huge site right by the river, no need to step outside!
