This was a perfect base camp to explore Yosemite. I highly recommend staying here! The facilities are clean and the camp sites are large.

Campsites are nice, but there is still noise from generators and barking dogs.

Was clean and tidy, not very big campsite next to the river. A lot of toilet buildings around with drinking water. Easy access to free water and dump station for our campervan on upper pine campground. The entrance is wrong marked and the drivers accidentally turns into the parallel road just next to the campground. Unfortunately our site 321 was very close to the neighbours (approx 4m), so there was no privacy around.

Staff helpful, bathrooms clean, camping neighbors respectful. I like the change of fire regulations, no fires in the morning made it easier to breath!

Amazing location for exploring the valley on foot or bike - didn't use the car our entire weekend. Campground was in great shape with clean restrooms. Would love to come back again!

Site #502 at Notth Pines was amazing! We were right on the water where Tenaya Creek meets the Merced River. The views were beautiful! We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Magical spot right in the valley. Site and bathrooms were clean despite it being a very busy Memorial Day weekend. We had a neighbor being very loud past quiet hours (12am) but other than that we had a great stay.
