The location can't be beat! We were at Lower Pines Campground for 4 nights. Originally booked for two nights at one campsite and two nights at a second site, after a cancellation, we were able to stay for 3 nights at the second site. The fiery orange view of Half-Dome at sunset, the Merced River with the spectacular reflections of the granite cliffs, and night climbers with their headlamps shining on the full moon mountainside were magical. It would be nice if there was soap in the restrooms, and we ran into multiple folks having to switch their campsite every night to stay 2, 3, or 4 nights. I don't think there is much to be done about that, but it's worth some thought. Definitely one of the most beautiful places in the world to sleep under the stars!

I was next to the camp hosts and they were very nice. I really liked the spot but, if you're planning to come and go by car, the parking space can get blocked for short periods with people entering the campground. Spacious site.

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

If you are going to camp in Yosemite Valley, then Lower Pines is a must. Everyone is so friendly and there is a sense of community when staying here.

Great time camping at site 1! Would definitely try and get this site again.

Great campsite. Way less crowded and with more campsite space than Upper Pines which is across the street. FYI Curry Village is right across the street with hot showers that are open 24/7 and also has some food options and a general store for those who need that which is super convenient. Vernal Falls hike is maybe a 10-minute walk from here. Definitely recommend

During the pandemic, it was nicely spaced and clean bathrooms. The campgrounds were spacious too.
