Lower Pines Campground is a 75-site reservation campground in Yosemite Valley with paved roads, flush toilets, drinking water, and direct access to the Merced River for rafting and swimming.

Located at 4,000 feet elevation, it offers some sites with river views and is within walking distance of Curry Village; reservations are required and typically book five months in advance.

The campground provides a convenient base for paddling the Merced River during summer months when water levels are sufficient, with nearby trailheads and shuttle access to valley attractions.
