When you stay at Yosemite's High Sierra Camps, you’ll enjoy family-style breakfast and dinner with your fellow campers. We also offer box lunches, which can be ordered the day before you head out on your hiking trip. In fact, even if you’re staying at the nearby backpacker campgrounds, you can make advance reservations for breakfast and dinner at the High Sierra Camps. The meals only option is limited to six reservations per camp and is not offered at Glen Aulin.

Environmental Stewardship
More than 13,000 visitors stay at the High Sierra Camps every year—and several thousand backpackers stop by for meals. We work hard to limit our impact on the fragile subalpine ecosystem by recycling and composting waste, and using solar-powered composting toilets.
Showers, Restrooms, & Laundry Facilities
A true luxury for any back country experience—showers are available at Merced Lake, May Lake and Sunrise Camps (subject to water availability). After you return from your day of adventuring, clean up with a nice shower and enjoy a delectable, hearty meal, your evenings will be filled with ranger-led campfire conversations about the surrounding wilderness.
All camps have restrooms. Merced Lake, Sunrise, and May Lake have basins for washing clothing.
