My 3 days camping at North Pines was a wonderful experience. April weather can be unpredictable but luckily it was sunny every day and above freezing at night. I hiked over 10 mi every day. There is always something new to see in Yosemite!

North Pines is a great campsite. Close to Camp Curry, Mirror Lake, and the Mist trail. Lots of shuttle stops close by as well. Yosemite Valley is amazing and full of amazing hikes, walking paths, and bike paths. Can't wait to go back.

I needed to run my generator more then the quiet hours would allow for as I needed to charge a battery to power my cpap machine. Each night the battery would run out between 3AM-5AM- the inverter would then start beeping waking up my neighbors- not optimal. It was pretty Smokey too- but it’s Yosemite and staying in the Valley is so special that it trumps all the BS
