Nice location, bathroom was clean. Rangers were very respectful and courteous; they checked on us about bear watch and they made us feel safe especially it was close to the hibernation season.

I love North Pines Campground! Right at the Merced River confluence with Tenaya Creek, walking distance from both Curry Village and the Ahwahnee (via the bike trail), and Mirror Lake if you are up for a longer walk. Set in the best spot in the valley!

Camped right by the Merced river and the view I had was of Half Dome. What else could you ask for. The campground is nothing special, place to park, fireplace and access to a clean bathroom. But let’s be honest, anywhere in the valley is natures wonderland. I appreciated have a place to camp.

Check in could have been better. I had back-to-back reservations at the same site but was told I had to check in again for the second reservation.
Then the check in guy messed up on the card I was suppose to display. He put my check in date not my check out date.
I wasn't asked for my senior pass the first check in but it was requested my second check in.

Nothing to say but just another short trip to the Yosemite. Waiting for the severe flooding that is coming....

We loved the site! Expected it to be more crowded but for a cold April it was perfect. Not too many people running generators at all hours or taking over the paths, though I'm sure this may be different as family camping season comes around. The bathrooms were stocked with toilet paper consistently and the proximity to the visitors center etc was really great. Everyone was super nice too.
