Nearby Activities & Attractions

Yosemite Lower Pines Campground is a great place for families. You’ll find lots to do close by.

• Bridalveil Fall
  See one of the most famous waterfalls within Yosemite. Bridalveil Fall is the second highest fall in the park and spills its cascade the whole year through. It tumbles 620 feet and is breathtaking in its beauty. It’s not far from Lower Pines Campground.
• El Capitan
  Opposite Bridalveil Fall lies El Capitan. This 3,000-foot rock formation is best seen from Tunnel View in Yosemite Valley, not far from your camping site.
• Dewey Point
  Hike to Dewey Point and marvel at the incredible views. This is a great way to see abundant wildflowers in July. The overlook of Yosemite Valley and El Capitan is worth the trek.
• Inspiration Point
  This easy 2.5-mile hike takes anywhere from one to three hours. Again, you will get fantastic views of Yosemite Valley and avoid the crowds as well. Due to the switchbacks, the elevation gain of 1,000 feet is virtually unnoticeable.
