Welcome to Your Basecamp for Yosemite Adventure 🌲⛰ Just 15–20 minutes from the entrance of Yosemite National Park and about an hour from the Yosemite Valley floor, our camp offers the perfect location to recharge after exploring one of the most iconic natural landscapes on Earth. We’re also about 1.5 hours from the high-country beauty of Tuolumne Meadows, making this a great launchpad for day trips in every direction. Perched in the scenic Sierra foothills, our dry camping sites are celebrated for breathtaking panoramic views, open skies, and unforgettable sunrises and starry nights. It’s an ideal place to unwind, reconnect, and experience the outdoors in its raw beauty — without giving up the comfort of flushing toilets and hot, on-demand showers. Most of our sites are best suited for those who plan to explore during the day and return in the evening, as they receive full sun and have limited shade throughout the midday hours (during the summer months). For those looking to hang around camp during the day, we recommend bringing a shade canopy or pop-up to make your stay more comfortable. Whether you’re here for epic hikes, rock climbs, or peaceful views, our camp is a restful and rustic homebase nestled close to the wonders of Yosemite.

Not for the faint of heart—this site sits right on the edge with jaw-dropping canyon views that will make your pulse quicken. From sunrise to sunset, the cliffs light up in color, offering one of the most dramatic panoramas around (Site#10) You’ll hear the rush of a nearby waterfall echoing through the canyon, adding to the wild atmosphere. It’s close to some powerlines, but that’s a small price to pay for front-row seats to nature’s raw beauty. Perfect for adventurous campers who like a little thrill with their morning coffee.

2nd time staying here and will stay again😊 Great views, hot showers, and especially love Lucky Buck diner that’s right by!

Tent camped at (8) Upper Tuolumne Camp, Oct 2026.
Recommends
Had a great one night stay there before a big hike in Yosemite. It is a really great campground. Totally supports the great reviews! Not sure if I've ever come across a campground with such nice perks - fire pit, umbrella, water, level tent pads, etc. Bathrooms and shower area top notch. Note that power lines are an imposing background feature, but easy to look past. Canyon scenery is amazing. Some highway noise but not terrible. Sites have notable different pros/cons. Hopefully in the future owners can explain or show sites better on website to help people decide. We had #8 which was great. We would come back for sure.
