GuideWe stayed here for 2 nights before our camp booking inside the park and for one night after. We managed to find a spot each time, but I would recommend arriving sliiiiightly earlier as it does fill up. Nice and quiet, good amount of privacy and each site has a fire ring. And it’s only a few minutes away from the south entrance to the park.
TravelerLove the site we had, close to water and surrounded by trees. Close to amenities and a local store for supplies. Prepare for a 45-60 min drive to the Yosemite Park and the valley.
ScoutGreat spot a little farther up Hardin Flat Rd. I am parked across from a private drive so I can turn around with my RV if needed.
GuideCampsite was great. Hosts are amazing! 2 miles from all the Tahoe action in the city and the lake is right across the street.
GuideIf you’re ok with the most close quarters camping you’ll probably ever have, this site is great! People respect quiet hours, bathrooms cleaned every morning, bear boxes are easy and super friendly staff!
GuideUpper Pines is a mostly tent and some small RVs camp. It’s a different atmosphere because we are all under big tall pines. Sites are pretty next to each other but everyone was respectful. I liked the quiet atmosphere even though the camp was almost full. I enjoyed all the different smells of the pines, campfires, BBQs, burning different types of firewoods. The camp is near many hiking trails, and there is a free bus that takes you around the valley. I would go back !
ScoutAll amenities are super clean, check in was a breeze and you get access to the pool!
ScoutComplete and utter bliss at this Hipcamp gem. Nowhere else in Sierra Nevada can you get access like this. # stunning waterfalls come crashing right through your camp. Amazing sunsets, and the host were the most hospitable and personable I've experienced this trip. Definitely recommend!
ScoutNowhere else in Sierra Nevada can you get this. Just minutes from shaver lake and less than an hour away from so many iconic trailheads and wilderness areas. 45 mins from Snow at China Peak, 38 mins from the world's largest trees, dinky creek wilderness area. But the property at music creek was so stunning I didn't leave the property boundary the whole time I stayed. Enhanced buy all the gushing water. And the hosts made me feel so welcomed and relied on, I'd definitely recommend.
