It is very nice much easier than I thought and if theres extra room at the campsite people at you squeeze in

We came in on a holiday weekend, unaware of the reservation system in place. Ruben was working at the Kiosk and was super helpful in helping us find a campsite elsewhere until we could get into Camp 4. He called around to check other campsites for us, which in my opinion, is going above and beyond. Thank you Ruben. When we did get checked in Cantiago (sp?) was also friendly and helpful. Both he and Ruben stopped by our site in different days and chatted with us. We felt very welcomed by them. On the day it switched from reservations to first come, first served Ron was working and despite the fact that it was cold and raining he stood outside and answered all my questions and helped me navigate the app to get our site reserved. Thanks to all of them. 5 Stars!

Ive stayed at this campground at least a dozen times. Its always been first come first servebut not this time. This time I drove my family 6 hours to find out that it has been changed to reservation only and that it was fully booked because half of the campground was closed for no reason whatsoever. Super lame.

Camp site was organized and well maintained even during the govt shutdown. Staff was friendly and helpful. The location is great in the middle of the valley under some trees with outstanding views a short walk away in every direction. If you want to book a fun last minute getaway camping trip in Yosemite, this is the place to do it!
@MartinG7975461 · Camped on Nov 4, 2025
Please be aware that this is not for everyone. You have to carry your tent and everything in to the campground. Then you have to share your site with other people. Our site was as far away from the parking lot as you can get so we had to make a lot of trips carrying ice chests and everything. Still, we were happy to be there.
@MarcoP55DC8C35 · Camped on Nov 4, 2025
Convenient location for Yosemite Falls hike.
@TrinidadF0390D · Camped on Nov 3, 2025
Awesome experience!!!
@HughHD7D5D8523 · Camped on Nov 2, 2025
Ranger Ron and his coworkers are major chillers! They all deserve raises.
@SarahL7105976 · Camped on Nov 2, 2025
So many inconsiderate people ruining the experience by being loud or careless with trash. I met some wonderful folks as well, but still, I wouldnt come back. The campground is set in the lowest, dampest, coldest part of the valley. The rangers seem to be trying to do their best but honestly just no.
@CynthiaH772154 · Camped on Oct 27, 2025
Mecca for cliff climbers.
@BruceJosB76457 · Camped on Oct 26, 2025
Lovely location, chilly nights but came prepared. Would happily return.
@JordanD9748476 · Camped on Oct 26, 2025
No check in needed, as we arrived after, and left before, the kiosk was staffed. But my name was printed there on the sheet. And it was simple enough to find the spot.

Toilets are not very hygienic (Male)
@YexinZ6C65EABA · Camped on Oct 23, 2025
Always meet amazing ppl there
@MollyF8412FFD0 · Camped on Oct 22, 2025
Great spot in the Valley with so much history. As a climber, it feels almost like a pilgrimage to visit this special place, to use the same tap as everyone before me, when filling water for the wall. The rangers were so helpful and understanding, even through the Gov.shut down. Keep up the good work!
@AvivZ1BBBBD729 · Camped on Oct 19, 2025
We had amazing time. Facilities, service and environment was great.
@AbbyM9ED01BBD3 · Camped on Oct 19, 2025
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.
@MohammadZ28C02 · Camped on Oct 17, 2025
TLDR - Great campsite. Will definitely return.Great campsite, perfectly located in the park:- At the foot of the Yosemite Falls trail- Across the road from Yosemite lodge/stores/food court, etc. - Has bathrooms with running water and flushes, sizable food lockers, fire pits and picnic tables - Easy access to all Valley hikes- 10-minute drive over to Curry Village if you want to take a shower, or enjoy the food court there.You do share the campsites, and we had a lot of turnover during the few days we were there. Having said that, everyone was really nice and friendly.NB: Makes a big difference to your experience how far away you are from the car park, but that's luck of the draw.
@TadehKF93A1814 · Camped on Oct 14, 2025
Awesome campground and place for climbers from around the world to connect. BYO firewood and also bicycles could be handy to get around if you want to go against the loop direction.
@NickM4938843 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025
We had a great time at Camp 4. The guy at the check-in kiosk was knowledgeable and helpful. The bathrooms were clean and the campsite was clean. It rained all night and we woke up in a giant puddle, and there were very few spots in the campsite that were not giant puddles so maybe a bit more drainage would be helpful.
@KatieJ6C9ABAA9 · Camped on Oct 8, 2025
I was with a group of 5 and Camp 4 was perfect! The campsite was beautiful, and it was at a wonderful location. It was very convenient to begin our Upper Falls hike. I couldn't recommend more!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@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!!!
