Lower Lee Vining Campground

Lower Lee Vining Campground is a first-come, first-served campground at 7,300 feet elevation with 51 sites along Lee Vining Creek, offering bear lockers, picnic tables, and fire pits ideal for a base camp near Yosemite's eastern entrance.

The campground has vault toilets but no running water, so visitors must bring adequate water supplies; sites accommodate vehicles up to 30 feet with a 14-day stay limit and $28 nightly fee.

Located on Highway 120 about two miles west of Highway 395, it provides convenient access to high-country hiking, fishing in nearby lakes and creeks, and the scenic Mono Basin area.
