Family Camp at Yosemite

All Inclusive Camping in the Sierras
Family Camp at Yosemite is an all-inclusive camp where you can fish, hike, swim, take part in organized programs, or relax.

Outdoor equity Events

The State of California generously granted Family Camp and the City of San José an Outdoor Equity Grant. This grant sponsors trips to Family Camp and Nature Education Days for the neighborhoods of Pocoway or Washington.

The Outdoor Equity Grants Program (OEP) improves the health and wellness of Californians through new educational and recreational activities, service learning, career pathways, and leadership opportunities that strengthen a connection to the natural world. OEP’s intent is to increase the ability of residents in underserved communities and to participate in outdoor experiences within their community at state parks and other public lands. 

Missing Supplies?

The Camp store offers a variety of supplies and snacks. California Department of Fish and Wildlife stocks trout in the campgrounds river, be sure to buy your license before arrival. Anyone over the age of 16 must have their license while fishing.
