We loved our stay in Upper Pines campground. The campground was full, and there were LARGE groups (6-8 and more) around us but we still had plenty of private space. I was able to walk to Yosemite Village, Yosemite Falls, Curry Village, and Vernal and Nevada Falls. Upper Pines is a great location and the Merced runs to the side of it. We went rafting this trip, last time I came we had inner tubes and floated the river. Good proximity to Curry Village if you need wi-fi or supplies from the store. Our campsite had a picnic table, bear container and fire pit and was well shaded during the day, which was an added bonus as not all sights have shade. We were in 14 in the first loop. Restrooms were close by, and the trash was just up the road a little bit.

Nice campground. Bear boxes were big, plenty of bathrooms, and the sites themselves had enough room. Good proximity to Glacier Point for some classic climbing objectives (The Grack) as well, the approach was only 20ish minutes.

Good campsites, the men's bathroom has no hand soap, but the women's restroom (according to my girlfriend) has soap dispensers on the wall.
The campsite next to us was empty for 3 days! and it wasn't re-listed on the reservation site. I noticed a number of other campsites going unused - what a shame, you need to fix your system so that people can use the campsites or offer them to walk up campers.
No cell service!

We camped here for three nights and had a wonderful time! This site sits along the Merced River with small runoffs, and some areas of stagnant water. While beautiful it did make for lots of mosquitoes—I wonder if other spots away from the water had less mosquitos. This site sits away from most of the crowd which is nice. We camped with our Coleman 17b trailer which runs about 21 feet long. On the website the description says nothing bigger than 19 feet, but when I entered our trailer size this was an option, so I went with it. It fit just fine but we had to park our truck (8 foot bed with cab) at an angle between the trees, not too bad since we had cameras but I can see this site being difficult for larger vehicles with no cams.

Great location, clean and well maintained. Spaces for rv's to back into are a little tight between the dividers.
Other than that its a great choice.

Very basic campground but right in the heart of everything. The free shuttles are brilliant and really help with getting around, especially if you have young children like we did! Upper pines is a great location for certain trails such as the mist trail and mirror lake trail.
