North Pines Campground

My family, friends and I Usually spend time in Yosemite a couple times or more each year. That said, we usually stay in Upper Pines campground as is typically easier to get a reservation. So, staying in North Pines was a welcome treat. Very clean facilities. No load, late night parties. Mostly larger than average, Yosemite valley size camp sites. It was a very pleasant stay, looking to spend more nights at North Pines!🤙

Beautiful campground, great for families. Clean bathrooms but bring your own hand soap, no showers available but you can use pay showers at Curry Village. Dog friendly but even on Labor Day weekend people were good about keeping their dogs under control. Fire pits are available but can only be used from 5pm-10pm. The river was low and slow, great for small kids playing safely, but still had plenty of deep spots if you wanted to get fully submerged on a hot day. Quiet hours were better observed at North Pines than across the river at Lower Pines where they were having a raucous time and big fires even at midnight. Despite the very large crowds for the holiday, it was still an enjoyable stay.

Always an absolute joy and amazing experience. Every year we try to get reservations for at least a few days of camping in Yosemite Valley but as soon as they release the campsites we try to grab them but they are taken within minutes of the release. This year we were blessed with a week stay in North Pines Campground in July, which is a total miracle. We always have a great time sharing our camping experiences with my wife’s family. This year was so great having our campsite for those with tents and my Sister in law had an RV at their site. We had the Grill and Upright Stove which worked best for some of the meals and the RV accommodated the other venues. We enjoyed swimming in the Merced River for refreshment. The Trams were running from Curry Village to Yosemite Village and the rest of the normal Valley Destinations. They were still working on construction for the Campground destinations. Curry Village and Yosemite Village always have any grocery items that you would want if you forgot them or just simply ran out. There are plenty of hiking trails for all levels of hiking that you and your family and friends can enjoy. I recommend having All Trails App and the preloaded trails to assist you in navigating your hiking along with bringing plenty of water please. Already missing Yosemite and looking forward to our next trip.

I've been going to Yosemite for years and this was my favorite campsite. Great views all the way around, we were right on the Merced and the camp host was very good at keeping things quiet.

Nicely located in the Valley. There is water and toilets near each loop, but 20 min walk to get to the showers (Curry village). We were able to see a lot using our bikes from this campground. Nice views (half dome) and access to Merced River. The sites are close one to each other.
