Planning Your Yosemite Camping Trip

Yosemite Camping Questions

SYMG is a full-service outfitter and we pride ourselves on taking care of the details for you. The list below highlights what is included on all our multi-day trips:

  • Professional guides
  • All meals while in the backcountry, including snacks
  • Personal gear (backpack, tent, sleeping bag, pad)
  • Eating ware
  • Group camping gear including water filters, stoves, first aid kit, cooking ware, etc.
  • Applicable permits
  • Pre-departure information specific to your trip, including packing lists
  • Friendly office staff for any pre-trip details or questions. We can be reached at 800-231-4575 or info@symg.com

Yes! Children 16 and over are welcome to join any of our regular departures when accompanied by a parent. Some departures are also appropriate for 12 years and older such as our Ansel Adams Wilderness High Sierra Camp, Alpine Lakes or High Tour backpacking trips, Hiking Weekends, and Rock Climbing trips, again when accompanied by a parent. We also sometimes make exceptions for children who have had prior experience and success on the type of trip you are interested in joining. Past that, we’ve found it best for families with younger children to create a private trip for just the family which we are happy to do. This way the entire trip can be catered to your interests and abilities, and having a private guide will give lots of flexibility for the younger kids, meaning more fun for everyone. Feel free to contact us to discuss your family’s interests and we can help you plan a memorable adventure here in the Yosemite area.

SYMG is happy to provide the essential gear you’ll use during your Camping Weekend. This includes a day pack, trekking poles, a tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad. All other gear & equipment for your camping experience is included with just a basic list of personal items you will need to bring like clothing, toilettries, etc. A full gear list will be sent to you upon registration for the trip.
