The campground is quite nice, plenty of room in most spots for a small to medium rig, some spots have room for larger rigs. The maneuvering can be a little tight for large rigs but people do it. I think a large class A or a large 5th wheel would struggle and i didn’t see any in the whole park for a week. The whole park is much more suited for small to medium rigs, and especially campervans.
The bathrooms were decent but as usual with National Parks, there is no hot water or soap and no showers in the campground. There is plenty of potable water throughout the entire park, and an RV fill/dump station.

Great location! Across the road from the bathrooms, close but not too close. Staff were very helpful and gave us a map at check-in!

The campsight at the Upper Pines was amazing!! The view was spectacular. This review asks about cellular service. We didn’t have any but did not expect to and were happy to disconnect.

It would be nice if the campground didn’t assign campsites and when visitors arrived, they could chose a site and possibly stay in one site for multiple days. We stayed in 4 sites during our 4 days. Upper Pines is great for exploring the Yosemite valley.
