Lower Pines Campground

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.

Great campground with beautiful views and easy access to river, trails, and much more. We will definitely be back!

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.

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.

experience was good! restrooms were clean and staff was helpful

The description for site 70 in Lower Pines Yosemite says that it has shade, but in June it only had shade early in the morning. Ended up leaving 2 days early, because without shade the heat was too uncomfortable. Otherwise, site 70 is in a good location close to the restrooms and trash cans with little traffic. Lower Pines is reasonably quiet and beautiful. Smoke from campfires used for cooking and entertainment were bad at times, but what's a camping experience without a campfire. Flowers were in bloom and the waterfalls were spectacular. According to the park staff, there was some bear activity in the campsite during the night, but we never did see any bears.

Site 31 was excellent! Close to restroom, but not too close. On the end of the row, with two picnic tables and two trees perfect for a hammock. The campground was quiet, yet close to a tram stop, so we were able to get to Curry Village quickly for showers and take the tram to the Ahwahnee for dinner. Very nice when you are tired from hiking and enjoying Yosemite's scenery! Bears did come through, but the rangers were on it and gently herded them along with sound and lights. We will definitely try for this spot again!

Stayed at site 55 with a 2 person and and 3 person tent. I had been planning to set up on the parking pad because the description said there was no room for a tent at the site, but that was not the case. There were clearly used spots away from the firepit to set up tents. Being right next to the garbage cans means that people walk through your parking pad to get to them, but it was not really a big deal as it mostly stopped overnight. A lot of the sites nearby had grass growing right up to the firepit that seemed like a pretty big fire hazard. I clipped a bunch away from ours, but I'm sure it'll grow back. Seems like a bit of landscape maintenance on the firepits would be welcome.

Camping in the Lower Pines Campground was amazing! Gorgeous views of Half Dome and right next to the Village where they have plenty of hot food to grab. It will be a dream to be back!
