Volunteer staff was a joy to interact with and very responsive to comments / observations we made. The NP Campground was everything we have come to expect from NP campgrounds BUT this time it was sooooo much more (probably because of what the Yosemite park has to offer in the way of magnificent scenery & experiences). Recommendation is to not let the desire & excitement of planning, obtaining and actually being in a Yosemite NP campground cause you to forget miss sitting in a chair and looking around … especially UP!

Great camping experience for our group of 5 at North Pines. plenty of room for tents and gear and room in bear box food storage. Campgrounds were well kept and generally quiet when they should be. We love Springtime in Yosemite and couldn't have planned a better stay or site to visit.

Host was very hospitable and had a good sense of humor. We had bicycles and had a wonderful time exploring the park.

While I'm in favor of responsibly watching and storing your food while at your campsite, the new policy the Rangers told me was a little extreme. I was told even during food preparation time that a ice chest should not be outside of the bear box unless your hand is in it, even if it was within Arms Reach.
Other than that it was normally beautiful and crowded.

Campsites were kind of close together but the neighbors were nice and quiet. Nice to be close to the Merced River. Views of Half Dome and Yosemite Falls as you walk around.
