Lower Pines Campground
The Lower Pines Campground in Yosemite Village offers sites for RV and tent campers. RV sites accommodate rigs to 40 feet in length.

Pets are allowed in the campground but must be leashed at all times and may not be left in parked vehicles or unattended. In addition to the fire rings and picnic tables, all sites have a food locker. All food must be stored in lockers to prevent bears from getting to it.

North Pines Campground accommodates RVs to 40 feet. Tent travelers are accommodated with flat and level sites. All sites have picnic tables, fire rings and food lockers for storing food. All food must be stored in the lockers for bear safety and prevention of the animals from getting human food. The adage "a fed bear is a dead bear" means bears that get human food often become nuisance bears and must be killed. Do your share to prevent this by following posted food storage rules. Showers and toilets, as well as fresh water taps are available. Hiking trails, and ranger-led nature walks are accessible from the campground; check for posted schedules.
