Camping at Camp 4 near Yosemite

Public campground · Yosemite · 1 campsite

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups.

About this campground

Camp 4 sits at about 4,000 feet in the heart of Yosemite Valley, threaded with a mixed forest of California black oak, ponderosa pine, incense-cedar and white fir; through the trees you'll glimpse the granite faces that define the valley and hear the Merced River nearby. The campground is tent-only and walk-in vehicles are not allowed inside the loop and you may not sleep in vehicles in the adjacent parking lot and the site plan totals 62 tent sites.

Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (913 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“Great location. Campground can be kind of loud and lots of people walking through your site, etc., but can't beat the location or the price or the ability to book just a week out from your trip.”

Abby M 3 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“We had amazing time. Facilities, service and environment was great.”

Aviv Z 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Camp 4 was great! I don’t know if I was just lucky, but I enjoyed having mixed groups of people on the site. Provides a chance to meet people and share experiences about the park. The sites were clean and pretty level. Looking forward to doing it again in the future.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (5,389 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
