Lower Pines Campground boasts a fantastic location with spacious sites, incredible views of granite cliffs, and proximity to amenities in Curry Village. The campground is well-maintained and offers a relaxing atmosphere for visitors, with enjoyable access to the river and hiking trails. However, some campers noted issues with shade, noise from nearby roads, and occasional bear activity, emphasizing the need for vigilance with food storage.

Lower Pines DBL3 was better than expected. Some people complain about the proximity to the road and curry village, but it didn't bother me at all. The pines themselves are tall and lovely and the vegetation is lush enough to which you feel really secluded. I loved Lower Pines and how easy the access was to the river. The campground was overall very respectful and quiet, with the occasional hiker or two cutting through the campsite simply to get back to the road. I like how DBL3 was well shaded, and allowed for sleeping in later before the sun would hit. The restrooms were close and had filtered water for drinking, the volunteers were super helpful and jovial, and the overall vibe is rad. Such a special place.

Nice wide open spot for multiple tents. Not much shade in early day. Definitely could fit a large family but recommend easy up. Next to water access. Next to amphitheater.

Absolutely beautiful. Clean bathroom. Wonderful campsite host. while you're close to others, with the trees it feels pretty private.

This is a stunning location with easy access to the main attractions in the park either via hiking or the shuttle. The sites are big enough to not feel on top of your neighbors and the hosts are very kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Don’t forget to bring hand soap and hand sanitizer, as the bathrooms do not have any.
