The High Sierra Camps are a series of five 'villages' of tent
cabins. They are located in Yosemite's backcountry, and the
majority of the cabins house four people and are co-ed. Some of the
most popular camps, they are usually visited by those on hiking or
horseback tours. Each camp is a day's hike apart, and there are a

March.
