Yellowpine

We love Yellowpine! It's quiet and remote with zero cellular service, so we're able to fully disconnect and enjoy the beautiful location. We enjoy hiking, kayaking, hanging out at Upper Stillwater, exploring the local area, lounging in our hammocks and riding bikes/scooters around the campground.

I appreciate there are flushing toilets and the campground hosts do a great job. The campground is well maintained, we've have many a wildlife visitor, made tons of great memories and look forward to our yearly trip to Yellowpine!! A family favorite for sure!

Was a great trip!

One of the best campgrounds I’ve been to in years. Very quiet and so many trees makes it a wonderful place.

beautiful campground, very well maintained. nice campsites.

Camp hosts were great and offered help for anything we needed. Campground was in great shape. Only complaint would be the herb of cows always bumbling through

A fantastic campground. Very well maintained, the trees are large and plentiful providing lots of shade. The river and surrounding area is like paradise.

We love this campground, it's shady, well kept and usually quiet.

I would actually rate our stay 4.5 stars if I could. Beautiful campground, would stay again!
POSITIVES:
-Nearby creek & nature trail were awesome. Lots of places for kids to explore, but not go too far.
-Camp spaces aren't too close together.
-Bathrooms were clean and well-maintained (other than not always having soap). Two thumbs up for flushing toilets!!
-Camp hosts were very attentive, but not intrusive.
-A LOT of wildlife in the campground: we saw several deer, lots of chipmunks & squirrels, a few mice (yes), lots of interesting birds, & beautiful butterflies. Not a lot of mosquitoes- my husband & kids are usually magnets for those suckers. They each came home with only 1 bite & I got none.
-Plenty of water taps; you don't have to go far for water.
-Pretty quiet (except for nature sounds- squirrels were a little chattery). There was one rowdy group at a double site up the road, but luckily we were far enough away that it was only an issue when we were up near the bathroom.
NEGATIVES:
-Although there are a lot of trees, most of the sites have very little shade during the middle of the day, especially where the picnic tables are. Our tent was shaded in the morning until about 10:00 AM, but the table started getting sun around 9:00, and it heated up fast. The sun didn't go behind the trees until about 6:30 or 7:00 PM. Fortunately we had a pop-up shade canopy that made a huge difference. I highly recommend bringing some kind of shade device with you. It was pretty hot during the day (mid-80s) and it was pretty chilly/cold during the night (upper-40s I would guess).
- There are 2 bathrooms for the entire campground; one at the bottom (near sites 1 and 2) & one at the top (near sites 11 & 12). A decent trek if you're in the middle.
- Only other negative was with the squirrels/chipmunks hunting for food. Make sure any food is well contained, because they will chew through boxes & plastic bags to get your grub. They gnawed on a banana, some grapes, & several cookies.

This is an amazing campground, especially the group sites were right by the creek. The only down side is people walk through your site ... and kids bike through your site ...

Booked the wrong camp. There is a "Yellow Pine" campground ~50 mi from from the "Yellowpine" campground. This should be noted on the reservations page.
