We greatly enjoyed our stay at North Pines in Yosemite. We called the campground office to let them know we were backpacking into the valley and not positive on our arrival date and they made sure to hold onto our reservation and not cancel it for a no show, when we arrived over a day late. Site 303 worked for us and was right beside the restrooms. We enjoyed watching the backpackers leaving from the backpackers campground, as they mostly walked right past the site. Tenaya Creek was right across the road and the kids enjoyed playing there. The only thing that was unpleasant was the fact that through the hottest part of the day, there was no shade. So it was definitely not the place to be from 10-4.

Our campsite was amazing, but most are pretty close together. The location of the campground has views of creek, river and half dome, and short bike ride to the villages and mirror/mist trails.. Tubing the Merced was really fun, and the bear bins are good size for cooler and food bins. The bathrooms were kept clean and park staff were very friendly and helpful.

Absolutely the most spacious and secluded spot to stay at. I wouldn't stay at any other spot in the valley

Pleasant, clean, accommodating.
Can be a bit chaotic, but that isn’t necessarily a reflection of NPS and their endeavor to keep an open first come first served safe spot for back country hikers. Overall, very appreciated.
