Campsite 44 - I really enjoyed Upper Pines Campground. Site 44 was good but the paved pad was a little rough and not flat, so I needed to use my levelers. The restrooms were clean, although no handsoap is provided so used my own. I liked being so close to Curry Village for supplies, many hiking trails and sites to see. I'd like to say how grateful I am to the Rangers working the check in booth at Upper Pines Campground, a female and a male. They were both so nice and full of information. The female was extremely helpful and explained how to handle my food in my camper van. I had read so much about the Bears and she really put me at ease with all the information she passed on to me. I was so appreciative of her. She went above and beyond for sure. They both were very helpful and just made my whole experience that much better. Thank you Park Rangers.
