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.

Excellent location with beautiful views. Walking distance to Curry Village and several trailheads and not far from Yosemite Village (especially by bike) My campsite (#55) was small but fine for me. It is next to the trash and recycle bins, but people were respectful about using them. Also, this site has no shade. Camp host was very helpful and welcoming. Minor inconveniences were worth it for being in the park!

Campsite was nice, as we were walking distance to mirror lake, Happy Isles, and Camp Curry. My only complaint is that in the evening, all of the campfire smoke from other campers just sits in the air and makes the whole campground smokey.

The location of this campground could not be more ideal. The views surrounding the valley are incredible. My criticism is that the campground itself is pretty poorly maintained. Upon our arrival we noted that the burnt coals in the fire ring were about 60% to the top of the ring. The first night, a Forestry Ranger making his rounds commented that the grassy weeds were all the way up to the outside of the ring and we should be careful with our fire. If the ranger noted a potential hazard, shouldn't he be reporting this to the grounds crew to cut back the weeds? We pointed out that the debris in the fire pit was quite full upon our arrival. His comment was that they rely on the Scout volunteers to clean them out. Apparently that wasn't happening. The men's bathroom was pretty dirty. Since we are self-contained, we elected to use our own toilet facilities. We love Yosemite and would go back again, but hope better care is given to this national treasure.

Concerned we were delayed arriving for a day and called to say so. Got immediate call back and they were extremely helpful and reassuring. Our stay on site couldnt have been better.

Amazing scenery and location. The Adjacent river and meadow make the location really special. The crowding with families and kids made for a boisterous Vibe in the evenings in the campground and the afternoons on the river, rather than a peaceful nature experience, but that is to be expected in Yosemite valley. Definitely had a great stay.

I just happened to check at the right time and was able to book a last-minute reservation because of the cancellation! My husband and I celebrated our seven year anniversary and had a wonderful time at the lower Pines camp! It is a great location with clean bathrooms and drinking water.
