The Pines is a quiet campground. Close to lots of hiking and the river for swimming/fishing. The sites are large and many have great shade.

Pretty basic no frills campground. Bathrooms were quite aromatic in a not so desirable way. Our specific site had shin high thistle like weeds such that you had to watch where you walked at all times. The campground host was pleasant and the fellow campers were quiet. No issues as it was just a layover for us returning from Yosemite.

A clean, well maintained campground within proximity to Yosemite. Pavement road into the campground 1/3-mile off of Hwy 120 made for easy access. Other campers were quiet and respectful.
