Camp 4

The campground spreads across a granite-studded area near Yosemite Falls, featuring communal camping spaces and surrounding boulders for climbing activities.

Camp 4 earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 for its connection to the advancement of rock climbing in North America.

The site became a central gathering point for rock climbers in the 1960s, establishing techniques and equipment that transformed climbing into a recognized sport.

The first-come, first-served campground accommodates up to six people per site, with check-in required at the ranger station before settling in.

Large granite boulders scattered throughout the camping area provide immediate access to climbing practice zones within the campground boundaries.
