The campsite is clean, the volunteers/rangers are super friendly and there are some amazing spots near the river. The ones in the middle can get cramped (our neighbor had 5 tents!!!) and the smoke at night from wood fires is unreal. We have a little girl with asthma who got sick from it and we had to leave.

North Pines is a very nice camping area. Lots of spaces for tents - we had 3. Clean restrooms and potable water at the front restrooms. Good location for hiking/walking to Mirror Lake area, Vernal and Nevada Falls. The shuttle buses stop is close by at Upper or Lower Pines. Bicycle rentals at Curry Village. We had two EVs and there are plenty of free charging stations at Curry Village and Yosemite Lodge (thank you Rivian!)

It's Yosemite. There's nowhere in the world like it. Driving is a bit of a challenge because of the crowds, but we usually walk everywhere and the campgrounds are more peaceful.

Our campsite - 402 was only partially under water during a significant thunderstorm. Our neighbors tent however ended up in a huge puddle and they decided to leave 2 days early due to wet sleeping bags.
Aside from that, had a great time

Wonderful site, beautiful campground! We especially loved the trail access from the campground to the Ahwahnee Hotel and Mirror Lake.

Although the site was at max capacity when I visited (late August), I was surprised by how quiet and not-busy it felt! Friendly park staff and a very spacious campsite. Would recommend selecting a site not near the bathrooms, as the lights stay on all night. There are free public showers available at Curry Village, 10 minute walk down the road. Overall a great experience.
