Perched alongside the Merced River in the center of Yosemite Valley, Housekeeping Camp features three-sided concrete structures with canvas roofs, privacy curtains, and a covered patio. When water levels are low, sandy beaches along the river can be reached with a short walk from camp.

At Housekeeping Camp you'll find a camp store, laundry room, and shower house. Guests can rent sheets, blankets, pillows, chairs, cribs, cots and stoves for their stay at Housekeeping Camp. View a map of the property.

Food Storage Requirements

Guests staying overnight at Housekeeping Camp must follow these rules:

• Bear-proof food lockers must be used to store all scented items. This includes all food, drinks, coolers, toiletries, and trash.
• Keep your locker closed and latched at all times, just like you would a freezer.
• Only have the food out that you are actually using; if you're not using it, put it back into the food locker.
• Treat your trash and recycling like food: keep it in your food locker or dispose of it in a bear-proof dumpster; do not leave it sitting out.
• During daylight hours only, you may store food inside your car or truck (out of sight, with windows completely closed).
• Do not leave food in a pickup truck bed or strapped to the outside of a vehicle at any time. Do not store food in your car (including trunk) or truck after dark.
• When you check out, empty your food locker.
• Failure to store your food properly may result in impoundment of your food or car and/or a fine of up to $5,000 and/or removal from your campsite or lodging facility.

Housekeeping Camp units come with two differently sized bear lockers measuring: 33 inches deep x 45 inches wide x 18 inches tall and 17 inches deep x 49 inches wide x 17 inches tall.
