Definitely we are coming back here

@NatalieM207990 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #84

Stayed here for two nights. Positives- great clean toilets and drinking water available. Close to the village and shuttles to get us everywhere we needed to go. Dump station and water was super close. Site 84 was very level and lots of space. Friendly staff on duty. Negatives- someone pulled into the campsite beside us at midnight, but parked in the wrong spot so were only a couple of feet from our camper. This isnt the fault of any of the camp staff however, probably just squatters.

Stayed 1 night in lot 37. Campground as a whole doesnt offer much privacy however the scenery makes it all worthwhile. Great location to explore the park. Stayed in September so no issues with partying. Would be nice if there were multiple lanes to get into the campground so you dont need to wait when others arriving are checking in. Some noise coming from new services being installed to cater to campers.

The sites were mostly nice but noisy. I was surprised how little etiquette many other campers showed. Late arrivals, generators at night, doors slamming, car alarms, loud talking etc all after quiet hours. NPS staff were nonexistent and made no effort to moderate bad behavior. I guess it was ok but after a few days of it I was ready to head out to the backcountry. To sum it up I thought the NPS prioritized revenue over respect for the resource.

Our site was right next to bathroom being reconstructed. Like right next to. Like the caution tape took up half our site.I get it, upgrades need to happen. But dont:1) keep sites open that are in the danger zone2) dont line up seven porta potties against that open siteThe park is spectacular. But the campground has so many rules and regulations that everyone is sort of shell shocked and so theres almost no camaraderie among camping neighbors. Its too bad really. Better off Boondocking outside the park Id say.

Great spot and the staff was incredible.

@AndrewH3730305 · Camped on Sep 5, 2024 at Campsite #176

Excellent location. Clean restrooms. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

@DianneM48BF3C8 · Camped on Sep 4, 2024 at Campsite #215

Beautiful spot. A bit disappointing as we were camping close to the washrooms and he lights from them are very very bright

@BrianA4348148 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #196

Very good

@JulieA1729459 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #219

Everything fab!

@MartinK4638996 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #54

Never a bad day in Yosemite. My cetero censeo: Ban generators from Yosemite campgrounds. Not needed and demand is sufficiently high that one doesn't cater to the generator crowd.

@SusanS9297654 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #100

Very nice campground. I wish the motion sensor lights in restrooms were working for several safety reasons at night!!

@BelenGA70A7E34 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #117

Nos quedamos dos noches en upper pines 117, el lugar idlico, baos cerca pero sin estar pegados, con un claro sin arboles para ver las estrellas a la noche. Las posibilidades de este parque son infinitas, ojal hubiramos podido quedarnos ms tiempo .Sitio tranquilo, que respeta los tiempos de silencios y baos siempre con papel y limpios, te tienes que llevar el jabn de manos tu, es la nica pega, pero me imagino q lo harn por los osos. Recomendable 100%

@Stephanie22978 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #191

This campground overall was great. 191 is furthest from the entrance of the campsite so its a longer walk to curry village. The front of the campsite has a water area that we swam and lounged in. No shade on This campground and its close to the bathroom.

@DavidC2858387 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #121

The restroom were really clean! Saw the guy working on them... what a hard worker!

@PatrickM390922 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #157

Amazing views from this campground.I wish they enforced the quiet time at night as people making loud noises throughout the night making sleep impossible and those bear dumpsters squeaking and slamming as well. UGH. also no showers and no electricity

@HeidiK3391BCE1 · Camped on Aug 28, 2024 at Campsite #108

Well organised but we were unfortunate to have a camper with a generator right next to us and we got the fumes and noise at every meal time. Why can they not be grouped together away from Those without generators?? The bathrooms were clean and the staff very helpful and friendly.

@JamieL7227610 · Camped on Aug 28, 2024 at Campsite #94

If you can get a reservation, its an amazing place to camp

@AaronH2375180 · Camped on Aug 28, 2024 at Campsite #132

It was packed. But great spot

@RichardS712869 · Camped on Aug 27, 2024 at Campsite #88

Nice spot and quiet for a change!

@RaulV6CD8273D8 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #59

Nos atendieron fenomenal en la oficina de reservas y pudimos hacer la nuestra en ese momento ya que haba habido una baja de ltima hora. La experiencia fue inolvidable para la familia, muy agracecidos.

@JenniferC92685 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #48

The bathrooms are very close to this site. It would be great if they would tint the bathroom windows dark, so that the bathrooms inside were bright, but it wouldnt bother the campers to have that bright light on all night. Maybe mark the corners with a red light thats less intrusive and put tint on the windows other than that, its always a great relaxing time.

@RamonAE3A916DB · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #69

Campground was great very spacious and close to the curry showers, but the campground needs to enforce quiet time We had noisy neighbors, and the restrooms were a little dirty the entire time.

@KellyS8987536 · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #164

Always a great time camping in Yosemite!

@PearlRB8170162 · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #197

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
