Simply an outstanding experience. The Wilderness Permit Backpack Camping area and parking area were extremely useful.
The lady who was in charge of the camping area was not only diligent in her responsibilities but very friendly and helpful.
The experience wants me to put in for another Wilderness Permit.
Thanks for everything

Site is a little weird looks like your sharing you fire pit with neighbors, but that wasn’t the case. Beautiful place nonetheless. Just a cross the street behind the other sites a little creek tenaya’s creek just awesome!
Close to the bathrooms!

Stay at least three days incase of inclement weather. Don’t waste a sunny day. Ride, hike, shuttle to El Capitan and drive to Glacier Point.

H is extremely close to neighbor on patio side. No room to put out chairs or awning. Also difficult to back into with a motorhome. Picnic table is in back of site which is not handy. It's a very tight site with close neighbors on both sides when outside. Plus is that it's close to restroom.

We were fortunate to have won the lottery this year and booked a site we had camped in before. Our grown children joined us and our grandson had his first camping trip. We had a wonderful week. We love this campground!

Beautiful campground but unfortunately they allow generators which makes the experience on the campground a bit less pleasant. Waking up next to a generator makes you feel like your camping on a construction side rather then in nature.

It was a wonderful experience! The rangers were very kind and the bathrooms were clean. We hope to come back the same time next year! North Pines is such a great location- close to everything!
