Lower Pines Campground

My husband and I had a magical time in Yosemite to celebrate our 5th Anniversary! We felt like we were camping in Disney world. Amazing accommodations, from showers (with towels!) to water filling stations and clean bathrooms on site. The views were breathtaking and fellow campers were so kind. We hope to be back one day!

Place was very nice and peaceful, loved going to the river and swimming in the cool water!

Yosemite is beautiful, campsite are nice. Bathrooms are clean, grocery stores, food and other services are close by

The lower pines campsites are some of the finest in Yosemite. The sites are in the lower valley close to curry village where the cafeteria and showers are. The bathrooms are a bit rundown and lack hand soap. Reservation are difficult to get since the sights sell out within seconds for summer nights. Multiple days are impossible to get forcing you to pack up and move each day. During the Summer months Yosemite is very crowded taking away from the spaciousness and tranquility of the park. Entrance to the park can take multiple hours during peak times.

Im Sommer mit dem Wohnmobil nur schwer erträglich. Der Stellplatz ist in einer Schneise und bietet somit keinen Schatten.

Schöner Stellplatz nah an der Einfahrt und mit genügend Schatten. Am Campingplatz entlang führt der Merced River, gut zum Abkühlen im Sommer.

Road construction in the park and outside of the park made everything more stressful. The shuttle stops at the campgrounds were closed, meaning everything took longer. In two years when I’m not there it will be great. Just not this year

Fun and surreal to snag a site in Lower Pines. Close to the river with Half Dome on the right and North Dome and company on the left. Some sites are better than others in terms of distance from each other, shade, etc. Ours was delightful and peaceful (except for the sprinter in the site next to us that had a somewhat loud generator that ran after hours needlessly since the temperatures were perfect). Construction nearby was obnoxious during part of the day but that didn’t matter much since we were in other parts of the valley and it’s actually good that they’re updating sites and roads and such. Would definitely try again for Lower Pines over the other valley campsite options though all of them are obviously in high demand.

The construction in Curry Village made transportation a bit of a struggle and we received conflicting information regarding park shuttles. A clear, definitive message via email regarding the construction and the shuttle changes would've been nice.

Well worth the trouble of reserving. Can't beat the location or the views
