Shout out to the lovely Park Ranger who passed by and stopped to chat. She gave us helpful tips on what to do in case of a bear encounter and shared her favorite hiking trails for this time of year. Park rangers are so important to parks.

I <3 Yosemite.

Love this campground :)

@LinhND7F3D50E2 · Camped on Feb 19, 2025 at Campsite #C4

This is a nice place for camping all year. Lot of parking spaces, now that rangers are enforcing the rule of parking for campers only.

@KevinG8036592 · Camped on Feb 17, 2025 at Campsite #C4

Perfect for my needs.

@BillS4028348 · Camped on Feb 17, 2025 at Campsite #C4

There was so much to love about the park, and staying at Camp 4 was a great accommodation. The food lockers were plenty big enough for a cooler and several bags, the tent sites were big enough to fit 4, though there wasn't any site that needed all 4 available pads. The restrooms were clean. The dining halls, coffee stands, and shops were very accommodating and had reasonable hours. I wish I would have brought a wagon or something to help port my things to the tent site from the parking area, but being designated as a backpackers/ climbers camp the walk was more than reasonable. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

Very cold night but the camp was clean as were the facilities.

At one point there was a wheelbarrow to move equipment to one's campsite. It would be great if that was still available. Other than that everything was generally fine.

Love, love, love Camp 4! Will stay here every time we come to Yosemite. So convenient to stay for so cheap in the Valley.

Very beautiful camping spot

@KrystleS16038C · Camped on Nov 7, 2024 at Campsite #Scan and Pay 2

Had to scan a QR code to book a campsite, however it was not clear I had to schedule between a single person and a couple. I ended up paying double for myself.

@PaulC8096585 · Camped on Nov 7, 2024 at Campsite #Scan and Pay 4

Very cool experience, the showers are opened only between 8am and 4:30pm which makes it complicated to take a showers during an active day.

@TeresaD9B1888E · Camped on Nov 6, 2024 at Campsite #Scan and Pay 2

Spent one night (a Wednesday in early November); self check-in; it wasn't clear where we could set up our tent, as the campground was very crowded, but we squeezed into a spot adjacent to the bathroom building. Lots of fairly loud talking among much younger campers late into the night, which earplugs only partially mitigated. We seemed to be the only campers who were NOT there to climb; we spent the following 2 nights backcountry camping (glorious!) above Yosemite Falls, along the creek. A ranger who passed us on the way up gave us information on primitive campsites. Highly recommend the 8-mile round trip hike from there to North Dome!

Surreal experience, favorite place of all. Campsite was accessed easily. First come First serve and also self serve

@JuanAnto5474B3 · Camped on Nov 3, 2024 at Campsite #C4

The current self check in system is very difficult to manage. It is very difficult to ascertain what sites are full and what sites still have spaces available. The app itself does not give any indication.. and each site has so many tents and people about that it is pretty much impossible to tell. Looking at each tent and trying to read tags is very impractical.. especially after dusk when it's dark and people are retired to their tents. Additionally, it is an immense pain to walk the entire campsite in search and then have to return all the way to the kiosk. A simple ledger showing what is already full would go a long way if you cannot make the app work.

@AdrianP774B0E3 · Camped on Oct 31, 2024 at Campsite #Scan and Pay 2

Great that the showers are now part of Camp 4. The showers would cater climbers better if they could be used also on "climbing days", either earlier than 830 or later than 430. Now most are always out climbing during this time...In the night there is some kind of low rumbling noise of a generator of idling lorry near by, is this really f@'ing necessary in a national park?It keeps people awake at night...BR Adrian HELSINKI, FINLAND

@CalebL3751905 · Camped on Oct 27, 2024 at Campsite #C4

Camp 4 is in a beautiful location. Yosemite valley is awesome. However the rangers at camp four were rude and the washrooms were a filthy mess and sometimes not working. Yosemite is 5 stars but camp 4 is 1 star so I'm giving it 2 stars

@AaronM4160322 · Camped on Oct 27, 2024 at Campsite #C4

Camp 4 is what it is, but the reservation process is the most blockheaded, Byzantine, needlessly bureaucratic process. The fact that you need a fast internet connection in order to reserve a campsite that you are currently standing at, in a national park, is the kind of hopelessly disconnected and soulless idea that only Booz Allen Hamilton could come up with. You basically need to have a bot to get a reservation here ala Taylor swift tickets or a hyped sneaker drop but were talking about dropping your tent on a spot of dirt. Youre basically paying $10 a night to be near a bathroom (showers are best avoided), and that money is going to a consulting company. I hope whoever came up with the idea of skimming money off the top of every popular national park and forest is proud of the most cynical scheme Ive seen in a long time. Maybe next they can start charging a small fee for the right to marvel at the natural beauty of the country, maybe a lottery for who can feel a sense of wonder and anyone without a joy reservation can be fined

Toilet out of order and very dirty. For the rest very good.

@AciraM811FED07 · Camped on Oct 25, 2024 at Campsite #C4

Perfect location to get to all of the hikes we wanted to do. Love that you dont get to keep your car next to your campsite. The lockers make it super easy to have all of your stuff accessible to you. Everyone is so friendly and a shared fire pit allows you to make new friends!

@WolfgangFD4008 · Camped on Oct 23, 2024 at Campsite #C4

Er only States One Night and arrived after sunset and left before sunrise. We found our location at the Kiosk and enjoyed the stay very much. Thank you!

@RichardM509620 · Camped on Oct 23, 2024 at Campsite #C4

The Camp 4 at Yosemite was a great place and as expected. We were able to setup camp and had a fire both nights of of two night stay. Quiet at night and bathrooms close by.

@DanaW9470509 · Camped on Oct 23, 2024 at Campsite #C4

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
