We recently visited Yosemite and camped one night at Camp 4 , September 19-20th, 2023. We, however, missed the memo that the sites are shared if you do not have 6 people in your party. The site will be filled with as many parties as it takes to reach 6 individuals at each site (during busy season). This may or may not result in an unpleasant experience for you but the people we joined were less than impressed we were joining the site and didn’t make room for us. Awkward! No photos of the site due to the tense situation. 

**The rangers are very serious about bear/ wildlife safety in Yosemite. All scented items must be placed inside of the bear lockers at your site when not in use or there will be unwanted visitors.** 

As a semi mobile individual, I found that walk-in site 1 was close to the parking lot and near the restrooms. There is a wheelbarrow available to move your belongings from the car to your campsite, located at the check-in kiosk. The restrooms did have running water, flushing toilets, a potable water/ dish washing station. Note there is no soap in the restrooms (at least not during our visit there weren't even dispensers), so bring your own soap, sanitizer, or wipes. 

This site/campground is close to multiple hiking trails including a couple that were under 2 miles with minimal elevation gain, numerous rock-climbing sites and a bus stop to the rest of the park, which you can find by walking from the check-in kiosk, around the edge of the parking lot, out to the bench just off the road. 

Don’t miss sunrise from Tunnel View! It is a phenomenal view and experience. 

As of May 21, 2023. through Sept ember 30, 2023, campsites will be available only by reservation via Recreation.gov one week in advance of your arrival date. October 2023 through May 2024 sites are first come first served, unless posted otherwise.
