Lower Pines Campground

Clean, quiet, and beautiful!

Ranger John who checked us in July 1st was great, as was the campground host Jack. We enjoyed some tasty cheeseburgers and fries at the Camp Curry Meadow Grill before we set up our tent at Lower Pines #17. Nice campsite with shade for the tent and close to the restrooms. Yosemite Falls had lots of water gushing down from the high cliff.

It was too bad the Visitor Center was closed and the buses were not running else our visit rating would have been 5 stars. We left the Valley on Friday and stopped at Tunnel View, then drove up to Glacier Point for the majestic views of Half Dome and the valley below. Vernal & Nevada Falls looked spectacular.

Then we stopped at the Wawona History Center and were entertained by Buckshot, the only stage coach driver park ranger in California.

The camp site was amazing, and the views were awesome as usual. However, we drove in at night, and the signs in the park were not helpful in directing us to lower pines. It took about 4 signs before there was any mention of the campsites and pines campgrounds. More clear signage would be helpful

Close to all attractions, easy access to trails and creek. Would like to come back next year.

Great site with magnificent views of the arches. There is a bathroom close to this the site with a light on at night. Strange piece of astroturf at this site. Was sad to find out no shuttle busses were running which extended our hikes by having to walk to the trailheads. Seems Yosemite is still over-reacting to COVID with closures of services like restaurants and strange set up at visitor center??

We had a great time; the valley was well set up to meet the concerns from people coming out of the pandemic
the trails were great we did several trails and they were well kept. would absolutely go again

Lower Pines Campsite 015 is a wonderful place but a little exposed - not much tree cover or very private. The beauty of the this location is breathtaking with a view of Yosemite sunset and the stars at night. The condition of Yosemite and the park rangers were outstanding. Highly recommend and I can’t wait to return.
