• North Pines Campground in Yosemite Valley: Smaller and slightly more isolated than neighboring campgrounds, North Pines offers a true forest camping experience that makes it the most enjoyable of Yosemite Valley's car campgrounds.
  • Yosemite Creek Campground: Few venture down the 5-mile dirt road just outside Yosemite Valley on CA 120 to this great out-of-the-way spot. It lacks amenities but is far enough off the beaten path to offer solitude. If you tend to prefer roughing it, this may be your place.
