Housekeeping Camp is located along a section of the Merced River in the center of Yosemite Valley. This is the ideal location for those who like to camp outdoors without the bother of setting up a tent. Housekeeping Camp features sandy beaches for swimming and sunbathing, plus great views of Yosemite Falls and Half Dome. Housekeeping Camp is also the only lodging facility that allows guests to cook their own meals, with each unit having an outdoor fire-pit and grill.Each of the 266 units in the Housekeeping Camp area will sleep up to six people. The units consist of three concrete walls, a concrete floor, double canvas roof and a fourth curtain wall. The curtain separates the sleeping area from a covered patio that's furnished with picnic table, bear-proof food storage container and a privacy fence.
