Great clean campground, nice host, wonderful location. Can take a shower at Curry village nearby for $5, water easily accessible. Closest campground to curry village.

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.

I felt terrible but somehow I booked an ADA accessible site. May be I did this on my phone and didn't see that, but I severely apologize. The site location was excellent and the volunteers were great. I loved seeing the climbers' lights at night from my campsite. Bathrooms were flushing and very clean, but no soap so bring your own.

Although the actual experience was great, the system seems to be messed up. The campground was sold out on recreation.gov, but seemed to be less than 50% occupied in person. Ive noticed that this is happening at most National park campgrounds that I have been to. Recreation.gov please find a fix for this. Maybe you need a human element of verification.

Will 100 percent be coming back next year! Staff are very nice and informative about area usage and hike trails nearby such as Mirror Lake, the Mist Trail, Nevada, and verbal falls trail. A beautiful river in next to campgrounds as well for relaxing with nature. Restrooms were up to date with Cleanliness as well. Only a 10 minute walk to Curry village and amenities.

The site I paid for (site 003) said that it had room for 2 vehicles max at 18ft. The site barely had room for a single SUV, but right next to us was a large parking spot big enough for 2 trucks that had a sign saying “maintenance vehicles only”. Further, this site is in a high-traffic area right at the entrance to the camping. If some sites are going to be closed off for COVID, why not close off the poor campsites like site 003, and open the nicer, larger sites? There is no way to communicate these things, since the camp host and people working the gate are siloed off from whoever is making the rules. Demand for these spots is so much higher than supply that the company running the campground just does whatever they want and their customers end up with a poor experience.

Clean campground with great amenities and friendly hosts. This spot was right next to the campground entrance which turned out to be much quieter than expected. The only issue was the bathroom light was quite bright and was on for most of the night. I would go back but I would try to get a spot towards the back and away from the bathrooms.
