Meinungen CAMP 4 Yosemite National Park

Amazing views and location!

Good campgrounds with decent prices, bring your own tent and just follow the instructions on the reservations. There's a ranger at certain hours, otherwise you'll have to check-in yourself after hours.

Bear lockers are available and I could see if you could close with a lock. It has the mechanism against bears ofc, but not against humans. Definitely an honor system so be good Samaritans!

Bathrooms were super clean so very nice. And very easy to stay and access a good number of hikes.

Camping was clean, and reservation cheap. But since I lost my sunglasses there, I hate this place, as much as I hate the Yosemite Park for the same reason. Don't go there unless you want to lose your stuff

Is crowded and filled with smoke. 10 out of 10

October 8th- 3:30pm.
Even though the sign said it was full, there was some vacancy left. It is hard to look for, but basically the rule is one camping party per bear box. Parking is sometimes a nightmare.
- There’s no privacy from others, it’s all pretty much just one big site.
- it feels like you’re backcountry camping because there are no electrical outlets on sites (bring a portable charger) AND the bathrooms only had cold water.
- there is a place to wash dishes and shower, but they are the most unkept facilities I’ve ever seen. In the shower stall I used, the shower head was on the ground only replaced by a tied on ziploc bag. The air vent was caked in mold.
Sorry Yosemite Valley, this campground ain’t it. The only upsides are the views and location.

Good location and you can reserve 1 week in advance

Located in beautiful Yosemite valley.
Reservation are required, with eight (8) persons assigned to each campsite.

Well you're in Yosemite, but staying in camp 4 is not worth it.

The location of this place gets 4/5. The high number of stars is mainly because because of beutiful surroundings and fact that its in Yosemite. I took a rating off because this campground is located next to a very busy road and it takes away from the expereince. Site quality gets 3/5 mainly because the place lacks grass and is very dusty with ditry tables and dirty bear lockers. The bear lockers are made of metal that literally boils your food inside. I woudl imagine that over the years NPS would come up with ideas on how to solve this problem. The facilities are 1/5. The bathrooms are dirty and unacceptable with only one facility per the campground on east end. The sink was not washed for at least a month with blood on it and soot. The showers had malfunctioning shower heads and dirty floors with barely hanging curtains. Don't even look for soap. No water available anywhere near the campgrounds. Customer service 4/5. It was an easy check in with flexible staff and very nice. The rangers at the site were helpfull and guiding but they are undersupported and underpaid. I will highlight that reservartion process is one of the most ridiculous I have ever seen. Don't count on making your plans unttil a week before as you won't be able to reserve a spot.
At the end I don't want this to sound negative but more stimulating for our Deprtment of Parks and National Forest Service to do a better job. Yosemite is a beutiful place to come and stay in and enjoy but we shoudl be ashamed as a country to offer such suboptimal renaissance age conditions for its guests to stay in. I wish someone from these departments would go and visit international national parks and learn how to provide superb expereince. That said Yosemite remains one of the most beutiful places in the world and I encourage everyone to visit and stay there but I hope the service and facilities will at some point complement its beauty.

Location is cool. Many broken showers. Chlorine toxic pools. Location, though!!!

Amazing place to meet amazing people.

You get a place to sleep, and a place to park, at the core of one of the most popular national parks, what can be better?

Fantastic location, can easily access the shuttle to get anywhere in the valley. Only "annoying" thing is the walking path to the falls was right behind our campsite

camping here for twice already. absolutely easy but beautiful. camp site has trees and shaded. the water fall is less water than 2 months ago though.

Cool campground!

If you can get a reservation here you won’t be disappointed. Great facilities and spacious camp spots. You might be sharing a fire pit and picnic benches if you are a small group but that added to the fun for us!
Lots of large fire wood can be foraged if you walk 5/10 mins towards the 4 mile trail. Lots of small kindling near by camp.

Trop de monde

Loved being able to hear/see Yosemite falls from here, amazing location.

When we called to find out about availability lady on the phone was very rude!
People like her should not work in hospitality!

Gran lugar para acampar en Yosemite Valley puedes hacer uso de los baños y regaderas, ademas de que están las áreas para acampar y guardar tus alimentos. Buena convivencia con todos los que están en el área. Cuenta con buena ubicacion ya qué queda cerca para comenzar a caminar en dirección a lower yosemite fall y también para iniciar la ruta hacia yosemite point. Y como dato extra también hay una parada del bus cercana.

This is trailhead of Upper Fall

Some sites are closer to Yosemite falls and nice restroom. Since it’s walk in, it’s difficult to find parking lot when crowded (people don’t care if parking lot is reserved for camp 4 only and ranger doesnt have capacity to enforce)

Camp 4 is a great option if you can't get a reservation 5 months ahead. We showed up around 8am and had no problem getting a spot (we couldn't showed up at 8pm, there were plenty of spots in late May). The registration process was a bit confusing and unintuitive - don't forget to grab a slip out of the box after you pay with the QR code. Other than that, location is perfect, right next to Upper Falls trailhead and others too. All our neighbors were cool, almost felt like a mini Woodstock/Coachella. Definitely coming back here again!

Great location and low price. We used the first-come-first-served camping option in May. There were still a couple open spots available during the week, but many of them were more a wetland than a camping spot. The information how to claim and how to pay a camping spot is very confusing at the kiosk, especially because there were several contradicting posters hanging around. You need a phone and data to pay for the site and you need to use the national parks app.
