Junction Campground

Junction Campground is a small, first-come-first-serve alpine campground at 9,600 feet near Lee Vining Creek and Mine Creek, offering 12-13 sites with basic amenities (picnic tables, fire rings, bear-proof lockers, vault toilets).

Sites 1-5 accommodate RVs up to 40 feet, while sites 6-13 are limited to vehicles under 18 feet; note that no potable water is available on-site, so bring your own water supply.

The campground operates seasonally from late May through mid-October and is located just 0. 3 miles from Lee Vining, making it a convenient base for fishing and hiking near Yosemite's eastern entrance.
