The campground was very clean. People were so nice. Camp hosts were awesome! We just had such a great experience with other campers. Our first evening we had issues with people walking right through our campsite but held our peace. But other campers were so considerate and friendly. We will be returning to this campground.

Upper Pines Campground never disappoints. The setting is absolutely beautiful—waking up surrounded by Yosemite’s scenery is hard to beat. The campground is well maintained, peaceful, and perfectly located for exploring the park. The hosts truly make the experience even better; they are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. It’s one of those places you look forward to returning to again and again.

This was at least the 15th time we’ve stayed in Upper Pines and it it’s amazing every time we stay there. Beautiful views, clean restrooms, and very friendly staff.
