Camper reviews for Upper Pines Campground at Yosemite National Park
WOW
Stumbled across Campnab while researching places to boondock in Yosemite National Park during Thanksgiving (busy holiday). Campnab found me and absolute ABUNDANCE of openings in real time. We had a great holiday :) Thank You.
Campsite snag
Your service saved us, and the easy use of your website made the whole experience a pleasure. I will definitely be using Campnap again when needed.
Wonderful
Upper Pines is surrounded by beauty and is proximal to many truly excellent day hikes (mirror lake photo). A moonlight walk up and down the access road is just gorgeous with the river gurgling by and the huge monoliths contrasted against sky. Our campsite 233 was situated in an area of campground which when viewed from map is right in the middle of a group. But sites are well laid out and we did not feel too close to our neighbors.
Amazing
Camping in the Valley is an amazing experience, there is nothing like it. We usually park our car and bike to the trail heads and other attractions the entire time we are there. THis is definitely a bucket list adventure.
The Standard
I will always grab Upper Pines sites over North and Lower as the bathrooms (specifically the waterfill stations) have consistently functioned. That being said, all 3 campgrounds are standard and a great way to stay in the Valley.
North Pines river side sites are the most scenic though
Nabbed a spot!
Easy to use and we were able to get a campsite in Yosemite during peak season. Will definitely use again!
Amazing Location but Crowded
This campground has an amazing valley location and some views of half dome. Don't come here expecting privacy or peace - but who is sitting in their campsite all day. Sites are close together but I was too tired after days of exploring to notice.
Worked perfect!
I love the service from Campnab. I was able to get 5 nights in a coveted camp site in Yosemite Valley after the reservations sold out in 3 mins. Absolutely love their services.

About a half mile from the trailhead for Nevada Falls and Half Dome, this campground is is a great spot to make your alpine start a little easier. It can get smoky when everyone has a campfire, but otherwise the ground is soft and bathrooms are clean.
Amazing!
We decided about 1 month out that we wanted to take a trip to Yosemite and shoot out engagement session. As you know, Yosemite fills up fast! Someone told me about Campnab and I signed up right away. I kept getting the texts and missing the available spots because I wasn’t getting to them fast enough. About 2 weeks in I finally snagged on in our desired location. Campnab saved our butts.
Campnab Comes Thru!
I needed a one-night campsite to bridge a cabin stay and a backcountry permit in the insanely popular Yosemite National Park - during the week of July 4th no less! Campnab came through and it notified me of a cancellation and I was able to snag a spot in the Upper Pines Campground.
The app is super easy to use and the Campnab team is very friendly and helpful to work with if you have any questions. If you need a campsite and everything is booked up, this is the solution you're looking for!
Go To for Yosemite Valley
We love this campground. It’s about what you’d expect from a national park campground. Not a lot of privacy, but a beautiful location with easy access to all of the main attractions in the park. This is the easiest campground to get reservations at because it has the most sites. Avoid the sites along the trail as people often walk through your campsite to get to the bathrooms, etc.
Yosemite’s best campground
Upper Pines is the most enjoyable campground in Yosemite Valley. Close to trails, trams, dining and rental conveniences. My 1st trip to Yosemite was in 1967 - the trials of getting a campsite sure has changes thru the years. Due to my discovery of CampNab, I was able to “nab” a great spot 2 weeks before my scheduled trip this past July!
