        Camping at the fair.

        Full hookups on level gravel pads. We stayed in lot 5 at the back of the fair grounds, and it was quiet at night. The showers were clean, and the wifi was the best campground internet we have experienced. It is 2 miles from town, but there are plenty of restaurants and a market in Mariposa to make the trip worthwhile Make sure you go to the Mine and Mineral museum on the the grounds.

        North Pines Campground — Yosemite National Park

        All That...AND a View of Half Dome in Your Backyard!

        How do you snag a reservation in one of the most popular campgrounds in the entire NPS with just a few days notice?  Easy!  Set up a Dyrt Alert with your Dyrt PRO subscription. We did this and turned 1 night in the valley into 10.  Here's to shoulder season camping!  But come prepared as you might need your kayaking gear and your snowshoes on the same trip.

        This is a great campground in valley, with many sites right by the Merced River, a view of Half Dome in the background, and a little forestry action means that you even get some sunshine down through those big pines and can recharge with solar in a few key sites. We were also able to run our Starlink to get some work done. You can walk to many trails, bike to others, and even stroll over to Curry Village for a meal, shower, or an ice cream. 

        What you have in these campsites is very similar throughout this park, paved spot with not a lot of room for big rigs, small area for tents, a spot for your car, picnic table, fire ring, and a food/ cooler/ cooking equipment storage locker.  Seriously y’all, they will ticket your butt for not storing food properly– they do not mess around here in this park with feeding wildlife, either on accident or on purpose. And you will quickly learn why because the ground squirrels do not give a#$%^ about you except that you are a quick source of Cheetos-- and they’ll even climb up your leg to get some.  Don’t even get me started about the Ravens, they are smart and they have a taste for potato chips! Bears make regular visits to these campgrounds, too.  

        The “Comfort Stations” as the NPS calls them means a couple of toilets that flush, a sink with cold running water, and a hand dryer. Bring your own soap.  They can stay on top of cleaning them, but do your part too.  Showers can be purchased at the Yosemite Curry Village area and they are just fine, but there is a high demand for them so plan ahead. 

        Unlike most parks, Yosemite has its own grocery store, gas station, bike rentals, restaurants, visitor’s center, park film theater, gift shop– and if you come at the right time of year, you can see “Shakespeare in the Park’s” live theater. 

        You can bike, hike, paddle, float, climb, sightsee, stargaze, climber stalk, waterfall gawk and walk. But parking is a bitch. So just leave everything at the campsite and hop on the bus to get around the park and the different hiking areas. The buses also have bike racks so you can bike as much as you want, then hop on the bus if you’re not feeling it anymore. 

        There are so many beautiful hikes, but please don’t go to the popular ones in the middle of the day, or maybe do, that way I can enjoy the less popular ones on my own time at my leisure. Understand that the valley is one of the most “touristed” destinations outside of Disney World, and get your head around it, settle in and make nice-nice with all the other folks who have been dying to come. But please don’t feed those squirrels, ravens, or bears! 

        Depending on which way you come into the park, the closest town with reasonable grocery store prices can be up to an hour away. So, it’s worth the price of admission to stock up on your way into the park.

        Awesome place!

        I don’t if I want to leave a review. This place was great. It was my first time camping in a campground. My wife and I had so much fun and cannot wait to go again. Additionally, it was so easy to book online and we did it less than a week before our stay. That’s why I don’t want to hype this place up too much. I don’t want to have to worry about fighting others for last minute spots. So if you read this far, this place is awesome, but leave some spots open for us last-minute planners.

        Cozy and Quiet

        Awesome campground, the manager on-site was very curious and friendly. We booked a 30amp and needed 50 and he asked us to pick a spot and he would move us. This site has bikes to rent, a library with dad's to borrow and a lake with little boats. Site are good size and have a privacy . is nice for a little separation. Close to Sequoia and Kings Canyon NP and a neat bar and grill in Pinehurst about 10 minutes up the curvy road.

        Curry Village — Yosemite National Park

        Location, Location, Location! But Pricey!

        Overall, the proximity to being in The Valley outweighed the negatives of our stay. 

        While pricey for what it is, it IS at the far east end of Yosemite Valley with easy access to the Mist Trail. The tent-cabins are close to each other (3-8 feet), and we were woken by our neighbors our first morning (they were checking out early, and while quiet hours were 'officially' over, it was still 0730...and since it was during the heat wave, we hadn't gotten to sleep til well after midnight).

        That said...we were expecting foam rubber mattresses on wooden plywood shelves for beds, but the bed frame, mattresses, pillows and Rumpl blankets were a nice surprise (the website stated there would be wool blankets). The towels and sheets were in need of some fabric softener though.

         It was HOT. Having camped in tent-cabins before (not Curry Village), we brought fans with us that helped cool things down in the evenings, but having fans [battery operated/ rechargeable (we had Ryobi rechargeable fans)] helped us out.

        We couldn't figure out how to make the tent-cabin canvas window 'shades' to stay open- which was necessary because we needed the ventilation - we had brought along some binder clips that we were able to jury-rig to keep the canvas flaps over the screens open,  though. 

        Showers and restrooms were adequately clean, and showers were hot…but nothing to write home about. 

        We were surprised by the trash on the grounds near the cabins (where our nearest showerhouse was)-  in fact, a zip-lock baggie sat on the ground in the same spot for the three days we were there, before I picked it up on our way out. Additionally, on the grounds of the tent-cabins, we found several nails and other hardware on the ground.

         We were also surprised by the size of Curry Village, which isn't really discussed on the website. We were in tent-cabin 749 on the far east end, which was great until we had to walk to Camp Curry and/or the parking lot. We brought a wagon to carry our gear from the car to the tent-cabin, but once again, we've done this before, and we felt really bad for the folks lugging all their stuff without the benefit of a cart. Next time we'd bring bikes to help with the longish walk (400 meters? Maybe longer?) 

        The food options were great! The pizza is fantastic, and it was nice having the ability to grab pizza/tacos/burgers as an option at the end of the day (cooking is not allowed in the camp, but we 'tailgated' with backpacking stoves and meals a couple of the days).

        Cool spot - 1 Hour From Yosemite

        Underrated for sure - we stayed 2 nights while exploring Yosemite because we could not find a campground closer with spots. Big grassy area close to Mineral Museum, water and electric hookups. We basically had the fairgrounds to ourselves. They have additional spots in more of a parking lot setting, well marked.

        $55 per night Wifi worked great

        Crystal Springs NOT cabins

        This location is for the Crystal Springs campground across from Azalea.

        $32 p night, no hookups but a beautiful place.

        Well worth a stay either here or Azalea. About 45-60 minutes to Lodgepole where you can take the shuttle for free to several park stops.

        No cell service, easy to find. We have a 28 foot class c and there were lots of spots we could fit.

        A Place to Sleep

        Passing through this was a fine place to sleep for the night, but for the price of $70 for just water and electric (when we typically stay at very nice holiday KOAs for the same rate) - we felt disappointed with our stay. The bathrooms were clean-ish, but there were still cobwebs and very DIY. In the men’s room, you would step on loose tile that would squish water up through it. For the price point, we expected professionally renovated bathrooms. Sites are on gravel and pretty close together with no privacy. Within the park there was noise late into the night that sounded like an ice cream truck and we could hear the nearby train throughout the night. In summary, for the experience we should’ve stayed at the Love’s down the road rather than spend the money here.

        Beauty of Yosemite

        We stayed 1 night at RV #70 by tent. There is only a small area next to the paved parkway that is flat for our 6-person tent. But this is a Yosemite campground, we would take whatever campsite available. Restroom is clean. Drinking water outside of restroom. No shower. Campground has access to the beautiful Merced River. We enjoy our stay and will be back next Summer!

        nice camp but spots are too close to each other

        Nice camp, clean toilets and restrooms. They rent a small spot and therefore there is little privacy between each RV

        Beautiful river front spot

        We stayed at North Pines for 4 nights after winning the new lottery they did this year. It was so amazing! The site was actually really large. We didn't set up tents but it would've fit several. The site had its own small beach right on the river. Unfortunately the water was too swift to swim while we were there but I think most times it would probably be good. It says it fits a 24 ft trailer. We have about a 25 foot trailer, more like 28 with the hitch, and my husband's F250 hooked up still pretty much fit in the spot. That does include a few feet of overhang over the back curve. We also had my sons CRV and when we unhooked we were able to fit both cars on the pad no problem. We have verizon and cell service pretty much sucked but it's yosemite so you get over it. We could get some calls/texts, def no internet except at Yosemite Village. There are enough trees for a hammock and we had one up. Bathrooms were flushable but the nearest shower is in Curry Village. My parents stayed in site 303. It's small and right next to the bathroom. Their 29 ft RV fit perfectly though. Plus their site obviously floods in the winter/spring cause there was mud everywhere.

        For the glamper

        If you have an RV or prefer car camping/glamp set up this is a very nice spot. Lots of RV spots, but I chose to tent camp. Two types of tent sites, platform and ground neither of which has AC/Water. I had a platform site that was next to a little stream. There is a village store on site, showers, toilets, and water. Close to Wishon Reservoir which is great for trout fishing. Courtright is a little farther but wasn't accessible at the time I went due to fallen trees blocking the road. Attended a village church service on Sunday which was the topping on the cake for me. Lots of people around the campsites but partying is prohibited. That being said if you want a little more serene camping experience there is plenty of dispersed camping in this part of the woods.

        Yosemite Valley Campground

        We were there in the busy season and were very lucky to get a last minute reservation for one night. Once you get in the Park, cell service is nearly nonexistent due to the amount of traffic there. So, although I may have been able to snag another night, I could never complete the reservation! Since they go so quickly, it’s no use use trying make a reservation  at the registration desk. It is absolutely stunningly gorgeous, which makes up for the lack of cleanliness in the bathrooms. Rangers are constantly patrolling and we were given a written warning for leaving our dinner plates out while we went for a quick walk. So, beware the bears!

        Campsite 001

        Campsite felt larger than some of the other ones in upper pines, we could fit 3 vehicles if needed. Plenty of spots for tents and hammocks. We knew the storms were in the forecast and we found out it does make a lake towards the center of the campsite with the fireplace is where the center of the lake kinda is. If you call here during rain season place your stuff up high, lake also had the bear box at the shores.
