Northpines is spectacular! 529 is a well shaded spot and has great access to the river without being on the river. Best for a tent or a trailer/rv without pop outs.

When I arrived at my site there were so many low tree branches I could not enter the site with my RV. I had no choice but to cut some of the branches back as no help was available to do it for me. A hour later a ranger shows up and gives me a $250 ticket for cutting the branches- TRIM THE TREES IN YOUYR CAMPSITES.

Our yearly reset in the mountains. This much needed escape is what keeps me and my family grounded. It’s our happy place. Thank you Yosemite for allowing us into your space and sharing your beautiful energy with us.

You can’t beat camping in Yosemite Valley. Check in was easy, staff was friendly, the site was clean, the view was priceless.

The camp hosts were wonderful, we were greeted with a huge smile that just made our day. Bathrooms were clean. We had a wonderful corner site with neighbors reading books as they watched the sun set over the peaks. We will definitely be back! We went after schools were back in session so it was not crowded at all, and we even got to see people climbing El Cap. Truly a magnificent place!
