The High Sierra Camps system in Yosemite is an opportunity to experience the remote backcountry in relative comfort of tent cabins with wood floors, beds and small woodstoves, fresh home-cooked meals, and hot showers. Click on image for larger map of the camps. The High Sierra Camps form a circle spaced roughly 6 to 8 miles apart, a comfortable days hike from one to the next. Staffing is by college kids from all over the country who come out for the summer. Do NOT forget mosquito repellent, or better yet, a net.
Mosquitoes can be brutal in the high country.
Vogelsang High Sierra Camp, elev. An excellent film. Dinner is served. Transient backpackers occasionally get lucky and are able to buy a meal if the crowd is less than expected, or someone may leave early and sell their remaining meals. Leave your name at the counter when you arrive and if available, they will hold a spot for you.
