What Guests Are Saying

Upper Pines Campground offers a fantastic location in Yosemite Valley, providing easy access to popular trails and attractions, with clean facilities and friendly staff. Many visitors appreciate the spacious and private sites, as well as the beautiful natural surroundings. However, the campground can become overcrowded during peak season, leading to noise and close quarters, and some facilities, like bathrooms, may require better maintenance.

I think the location in Yosemite Valley is great and convenient, and I liked actually having running water at a campground. However, there were some things I definitely didn't enjoy. The sites are packed pretty closely together. This was okay on weeknights but on the weekends it was very noisy with neighbors not respecting quiet hours (both early and late). The air gets very smoky when campfires are allowed (between 5-10pm), with many people also not following this rule and extinguishing their campfires at 10pm. I struggled with air quality here in a way that I haven't struggled at other campgrounds. Overall, I would consider camping here again on a weeknight, but it was too noisy, busy, and smoky on the weekend.

The current reservation system creates a frustrating and inefficient camping experience. Because reservations open so far in advance, people feel pressured to grab any site they can—even dates they can’t actually use—just to have something. This leads to wasted campsites, as many are willing to eat the low $36/night fee if plans change, while others who genuinely want to visit get shut out.

For my recent 5-day trip to Yosemite, I was forced to book a different campsite every night, scrambling to stitch together whatever was available. Each morning, I had to tear down camp, pack everything up, wait for the next site to open, and set it all up again—while trying to care for my family in the middle of this exhausting shuffle. This isn’t a vacation—it’s a logistical grind. It also adds more work for campground hosts and causes confusion and unnecessary conflict between campers due to the constant turnover.

This system encourages hoarding, not fairness. To improve it, please consider shortening the booking window to 2–3 months and slightly increasing reservation fees. These changes would help limit speculative “just in case” bookings and ensure more sites go to people who actually intend to use them.

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.

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.

The Vernal and Nevada falls absolutely must-see. Take a spare t-shirt ;)
