    During summer, Housekeeping Camp opens next to the Merced River where you can let yourself be lulled to sleep by the sounds of water from your semi-enclosed sleeping platform, each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. The camp features three-sided concrete structures with a canvas roofs and privacy curtains.

    Rent a raft across the street and float past your campsite. A shower house is near the registration office and store, which has restrooms and shower facilities with soap and towels. Other restrooms are located throughout the camp.

    What the camp lacks in privacy, its central location near Yosemite Valley and the river make up for it. Hop on the free shuttle bus Housekeeping Camp to various locations in Yosemite Valley.
