Camp 4

Camp 4’s distinctive charm lies in its unparalleled connection to Yosemite's rock climbing legacy, its communal atmosphere, and its prime location at the base of Yosemite Falls. This walk-in-only campground is favored by adventurers and climbers, offering simple amenities amidst Yosemite Valley’s iconic granite cliffs.

The campground features 57 tent-only shared sites, each equipped with fire rings, picnic tables, and bear-proof food lockers, alongside centrally located flush toilets and potable water. Its close proximity to the Yosemite Falls trailhead and the Valley shuttle stop makes it an ideal base for exploring nearby trails or tackling legendary climbing routes like the Columbia Boulder. However, campers should anticipate a vibrant, bustling environment due to the shared nature of the sites and the campground’s popularity.

Situated at 4,000 feet elevation, Camp 4 is just minutes from Yosemite Lodge and within walking distance of Lower Yosemite Falls and Leidig Meadow. This historic site is perfect for those seeking adventurous day trips, immersive climbing experiences, or weekend getaways in the heart of Yosemite National Park.
