About
Lower Lee Vining Campground is a 51-site primitive campground located in Lee Vining Canyon within the Inyo National Forest, sitting at 7,300 feet elevation. The campground serves as a popular basecamp for visitors exploring Mono Lake, the Eastern Sierra, and accessing Yosemite National Park via Tioga Pass (Highway 120). Sites are available first-come, first-served with no advance reservations. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table and a bear locker for food storage. Bear boxes are mandatory in this active bear area, with typical dimensions of 48" x 30" x 36". Vault toilets are provided throughout the campground. No potable water is available, so campers must bring their own supply. The campground has a 14-day stay limit, allows a maximum of 6 people and 2 vehicles per site, and enforces quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The campground experiences heavy use during the summer season due to its proximity to Yosemite and the scenic Lee Vining Creek corridor. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on leash at all times.
