North Pines Campground

This campsite was small. Not enough room for a tent but good for a motorhome or trailer. It is very close to two of the surrounding campsites.There is nice shade in the morning to noon. Shade in the late afternoon.

As usual our camping at North Pines was fantastic. Another year of great memories!

North Pines is by far one of the great campgrounds around and has incredible views of Half Dome and the Arches. Hard to get a spot but worth it!

Nice campsite near the river. Just a weird set up with the picnic table being behind the other campsite.

Our check-in was quick and easy. The campground was in good condition. Bathrooms were clean (as well as can be expected), and neighbors were relatively courteous of quiet hours. You just can't beat staying in the valley when visiting Yosemite. We also loved having the Merced River right next to us for quick dips, even though the water was still cold! We ended up leaving a day early and were surprised to see we were refunded for the extra day. Shout-out to the rangers and anyone who works in the park, we must continue to support them in the face of increasing hostility from those in power.

We parked a 30 ft RV in this spot. Was able to hang over the parking barrier a couple feet since our RV had enough clearance. Campsites are a little cramped next to each other but it was fine.

Charge card reader didn’t work. The ranger staff would not definitively say if the campground would open. Nobody knew were the backpacker’s campground was. It was at best a circus.

Lovely campground. Packed full of visitors but people respected the 10pm quiet hours on most of the days we were there (not Saturday). Bathrooms are multi-stall, non-private sinks/mirrors, flush toilets. Good size metal bear box - ours was in the sun, so everything meltable melted (e.g. sunblock sticks).

It’s a backpackers stopover ending or starting a trail. The pit toilet aromas change direction. It was crowded share your site and bear boxes. Basic cheap
