HIGH SIERRA BASE CAMPS FOR 2025

Enjoy as many carefree vacation days as you choose in the JOHN MUIR WILDERNESS area with complete accommodations, including meals provided by a qualified packer and outfitter. We invite singles, couples, families and groups of all kinds to join others and enjoy beautiful scenery, good fishing, and have comfortable accommodations with meals and horses provided.

Our staff prepares generous, tasty meals with plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits and meat. Tentage provided... all you need bring are your personal items and sleeping bag. Relax and set your own pace. Excellent lake and stream fishing for Golden, Brook, Brown, and Rainbow trout, all within easy hiking or riding distance from camp. In addition to the camp cook, there is a wrangler to saddle your personal horse for daily rides. This is a family vacation everyone can enjoy!

To make reservations, let us know when, where and how many many want to go for a fully outfitted open trip. This is the ideal service for those that don't find a scheduled open trail ride that fits their needs.

Choose where you want to go - and how long you'd like to stay!
