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.

It is the greatest feeling in the world to wake up in Yosemite. North Pines is a great campground. I fell asleep to the relaxing sounds of the Merced and woke up as the sun rose over Half Dome.

Great campsite, a little less hectic/busy than Upper Pines. Nice sites and the staff is so nice. We camped at site 500 with lots of room and easy parking for my 32’ trailer.

North Pines campgrounds has the best camping in Yosemite Valley. We got lucky with the lottery and the weather turned out to be perfect. There was a flood warning issued which had us worried since our campsite was right at the intersection of Tenaya Creek and the Merced River. However, the floods never materialized and we had a great stay. The waterfalls were pouring like crazy. The hikes to Lower Yosemite Falls and Mirror Lake were great with the dogs and the Ahwahnee Hotel was a great place to relax and enjoy the views. The Ahwahnee is under renovation so the main dining room was closed. Spring was late due to the extended winter storms so the the dogwood wasn't blooming but it was still beautiful!
