Upper Pines Campground

Yosemite National Park, CA. Every number below is quoted from the official page named beside it, retrieved 2026-10-16. "Not stated" means the page does not say.

The calculator link pre-fills the driveway at the facility maximum. A facility maximum is the longest unit the campground accepts somewhere, not the length of every site; the site page on Recreation.gov carries the site's own figure where one exists.

What the limit means for your rig

Upper Pines Campground publishes two numbers, and they are not interchangeable: 35 ft for an RV (a motorhome, measured alone) and 24 ft for a trailer (the towed unit, measured alone). The trailer figure is lower on purpose: Recreation.gov's own site pages say the maximum trailer length is always shorter than the maximum RV length because of maneuverability. Neither number is a combined length. How to read a trailer limit against your combined length.

Use the calculator with the driveway set to 35 ft to see your rig drawn to scale against this limit. A "fits" there means your rig is inside the facility maximum with the margin; it does not mean a particular site is available or that every site is that long.

Hookups at Upper Pines Campground

Official wording: "There are no electric, water or sewer hook-ups available at individual campsites." There is no electricity, water or sewer at the site, so plan on battery, generator rules as stated above, and the dump station named in the spec sheet.

Provenance

No campsite-level records (driveway length per site, per-site hookups, accessibility attributes) are published here yet: they come from the RIDB API, which needs a key this site does not have configured. See methodology.
