Nice location, had to book 2 separate sites for consecutive nights due to availability. Would be nice if local managers could adjust bookings.

Very well-run facility. Campsites in all Yosemite Valley are close together, so do not expect privacy. Also, the wood burning for fires makes the air quality very, very smoky in the evnings.

Campground is next to beautiful trails around Mirror Lake and Yosemite Falls. It is quiet, except for the construction that I hope will be done before opening again in the spring. We were right next to the bathroom, but it wasn't noisy or bright, very convenient when you're in a campervan. All valley must sees are close by. Views are amazing. River was calm and enjoyable. I can't wait to go back. We did not try the showers in nearby camp.

A friend and I were lucky to have lovely campsites and perfect weather in North Pines campground. We spent the days hiking and enjoying all the sites in Yosemite Valley. There were a few issues with the campground, however. We carefully stored our foods in the bear-proof box and had no bear encounters, but a mouse got in my van twice in the middle of the night, evidently to shred up a piece of foil for nesting material. When we moved to our second campsite, the mouse didn't follow us! We did not enjoy using the terribly beat up bathrooms which have high water-use faucets and toilets and no soap or towel. There was also an annoying little dog in the adjacent campground that barked senselessly all day. Several people were there but nothing was done to quiet the dog. Otherwise we were happy campers!

Great place to be the first one on the trails. Downside is the showers are located 15 minutes away by foot, not ideal. Would come back anyway, but 10/10 location and very quiet.

Beautiful campground surrounded by mountains and surprisingly quiet for how busy the park is.
