High Sierra Camps

"There are 5 High Sierra Camps located in Yosemite National Park’s backcountry - Glen Aulin, May Lake, Sunrise, Merced Lake, and Vogelsang. They can be done as a multi-day loop trail, or you can to one of the closer ones and stay for a few nights before hiking out. The closest one to Tuolomne Meadows Lodge is the Glen Aulin Camp, which is 8 miles. Accessibility is by foot, or mule. Reservations for the High Sierra Camps fill up incredibly quickly, and are closed in 2021 due to Covid, but will hopefully reopen next year - so check the Yosemite website to stay up to date on when reservations are opening again. To reserve your stay at any of the High Sierra Camps, or for a guided trip through them, you’ll need to enter the High Sierra Camp lottery. Prices for unguided trips range from $152/night to $159/night for adults, and less for children. Costs for guided trips range depending on the length of your trip. Three meals per day are included in your stay."
