Big Bend Campground offers 17 first-come, first-served sites at 7,800 feet elevation directly along Lee Vining Creek, making it an excellent basecamp for fishing and creek access near Yosemite's eastern entrance.

Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, bear-proof food locker, and vault toilets, with potable water available; the campground operates late May through late October and enforces a 14-day stay limit. Located on a partially paved/dirt road (last 0.

6 miles is single-lane gravel), the campground is small and rustic, typically less crowded than nearby alternatives, and sits just 10 minutes from Yosemite's Tuolumne Meadows entrance and 6 miles from Lee Vining town for supplies.
