About North Pines Campground

For the 2026 season, North Pines campground will utilize a one-time Early Access Lottery which allows successful applicants to make a reservation within the entire 2026 season. Additional information may be found on Yosemite’s website.  Any remaining availability will be released during normal on-sale dates beginning with the February 15 on-sale.When not on a lottery, campsites at North Pines are available up to five months in advance on the 15th of each month at 7:00 a.m. (PT). For example, on February 15, arrival dates for the time period June 15 to July 14 become available to reserve, and therefore, the full arrival date window would be from season opening to July 14. North Pines Campground is located in breathtaking Yosemite National Park in Central California's rugged Sierra Nevada Mountain Range at an elevation of 4000 feet. The site is situated in the heart of Yosemite Valley, an awe-inspiring landscape containing many of the famous features for which Yosemite National Park is known. Within Yosemite, visitors can gaze upon waterfalls, sheer granite cliffs, deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, vast wilderness areas and so much more.Reservation tips! Campsites in Yosemite are extremely popular and typically sell out in minutes on the regular on-sale dates. Login to your account or create a new account before the 7:00 a.m. (PST) release time. You may only add reservations to your cart and proceed with your reservation if you are logged into your account. The recreation.gov call center does NOT have access to additional sites or additional information beyond what is published on recreation.gov. Yosemite National Park Campground Reservation Dates

The location is beautiful- close to Mirror Lake and Happy Isle and Curry Village. It's great to watch the alpenglow on Half Dome each night. Bring hand soap for the bathrooms. Don't expect privacy and bring earplugs if you are tenting.

Site had room for two camper vehicles. Clean. AT&T service didn’t work at the campsite but was fine in Yosemite Village. Site 312.

It is unfortunate that the entrance/front desk rangers have no way of helping people get a site. There is really no data phone signal in Yosemite Valley, so using recreation.gov is nearly impossible - so many sites sit unused. We had to leave outside of the park and camp for 1 night, when every night we did stay in North Pines and Upper Pines, there were probably 10+ sites unused. We travel out of state to other parks and in the Tetons, Zion etc, the Rangers are always so helpful and tell us to get in line the next morning at 4 or 5 am to see if a site opens up. And that always worked for us. The Rangers in Yosemite just say, "Everything is full, you have to use rec.gov". So people sneak in, use the empty sites, and leave early in the morning - wish I had thought of this to save us gas and mileage on our RV.
