Notes for Campers
Don't worry if you've never camped before - you won't be the first. Quality tents, camping and cooking equipment is provided. Sleeping bags are not, but available for rent. This is very much a community experience and everyone is expected to participate in the set-up and breakdown of camp. Campsites are very comfortable with hot showers and modern facilities.
Food is provided, but not the chefs. Not only are you the guest, but also the cook, waiter and dishwasher. The fare is all-you-can-eat, very tasty and a mixture of chicken, beef and vegetarian.
Vans have large roof racks or trailers for your luggage and camping equipment. Campers are welcome to leave their luggage in the tents for the duration of the trip or in the locking trailer.
Recommended Gear List:
- Small overnight bag (that can fit under seat)
- Trainers or hiking boots and hiking clothes (shorts & T-shirt) and warm layers for evenings
- Swimwear & towel, sun protection and bug spray
- Flashlight and water bottle
- Raincoat/jacket
From June through September the weather in Yosemite is hot and sunny with occasional afternoon showers. In May and October, days are warm with cooler nights. As with all mountain environments, weather can be unpredictable, so bringing a layer of warm clothing is always a good idea.
