Review Summary

VerifiedAugust 15, 2024 • Stayed at: 308, Loop: North Pines
The camp site 308 should not be a campsite. There was no where to pitch a tent. There was no room for any thing. The parking space was substandard , no way 2 cars could have parked there and we needed to prune the berry bush to open our door. We are grateful our family could not join us, because there was no room for us to camp, let alone any one else. We slept in our van---due to the lack of space. It was packed in like sardines. We left early when our neighbors set up a port a potty tent right by our cooking table and played music constantly. It was too tight of a campsite.
This campsite should not be used as an individual campsite. We were extremely disappointed. Better spacing is much needed.

No surprises, clean campsite and campground, knowledgeable and friend NPS employee at the check-in shack. The lottery process was successful for us at this campground, we'll be back next year!

Riverfront! This site has its own private entrance. We were able to set up 2 larger tents (6 and 10 person tent) no problem. Has some rocky and slope areas.

We appreciate the position in the park ( curry village, merced river, shuttle), the quiet and the clean restrooms.

We had a great time. Our site was next to the river and it was very spacious. The bear lockers are large and able to accommodate all out junk. Not far from Curry Village if you need any other supplies (such as firewood).

513 was wonderful. River across the road however no access from across the road. River access is less than 5 minute walk away. Plenty of shade and a big area perfect for our family of 5. I would only want to come back to this campground next time we stay again in Yosemite village

Arrived early found a spot, and explored the floor for the day. More people showed up in the evening.

The registration app wasn't working for everyone, but it worked for me. Everyone got registered for a space, though, so it was no big deal. A bear came through the campground sometime after midnight and surprised some teenagers going to the latrine, but it was big fun for most everyone. No big deal. Overall, the campground was easy to get to and there was plenty of space for everyone. A great community vibe. (It's a little hot even at night this time of year, but that's to be expected.)
