I have camped at all four campgrounds along the canyon here. Lee Vining is a nice campground, in a mix of high desert brush, and trees. Some sites are closer to the rivers than others.

If you're tent camping this can be a turnoff, and I'd suggest you head deeper down the canyon to Aspen or Big Bend campgrounds. They allow RV's as well, but are much more calm and secluded.

Read moreKevin the Campground host is incredible!!! Kevin kept me well informed and made us aware of bear activity and I appreciated that. I camped here 3 nights with my family!! We love the Lower Lee Vining campground. The sites are very spacious close to the creek. Fisherman were catching trout in the stream. It is a stunning location. The restrooms are clean. Drinking Water is closeby. We loved walking around camp after our long hikes. Kevin is the best host ever!!! We will definitely be back soon. This is my favorite campground.
