Camp 4 Area is a climbing area in Yosemite National Park, within the Yosemite Wilderness, on land managed by the National Park Service. It sits in the high country of the park, and a fee is charged for access. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 75°F with lows near 60°F and only about one wet day a month. That station sits roughly 700 feet lower than the area, so temperatures here run a little cooler. The closest climbing areas are Lower Brother and Crystals, both about 0.3 miles away. Yosemite Falls Trail is 0.6 miles off, and Camp 4 West is 0.7 miles away.
