Find Something for Everyone With Kid-Friendly Meals like Mac-N-Cheese and Pizza, Along with Salads, Burgers, and Rotating International Offerings

If you’re planning a trip to Yosemite, it can be enticing to plan every detail and moment of each day to ensure you see everything. Whether or not that’s your game plan, you’re going to want at least one restaurant option that you can fall back on in a pinch. You know the drill, tantrums have started, you can’t think of what you’d like to eat, and everyone wants something different. That’s when Base Camp Eatery will save the day, especially if everyone is tired and cranky and just needs food fast!

Base Camp Eatery has lots of fresh options for everyone, including salads, burgers, breakfast burritos, pancakes, soups, sandwiches, some gluten-free and vegetarian options, along with desserts and beverages. There is also a Starbucks located within the same building if you need an extra pick-me-up. There is outdoor and indoor seating available, and ordering is placed in one centralized location, making it extra simple to get something different for everyone in your family. There are high chairs and restrooms available.

If you are staying in the Yosemite Valley Lodge, this may be your best option for eating throughout your stay. Even if you aren’t staying there, I highly recommend adding this eatery to your list of places to visit when everyone gets hangry! Please note that our visit to Yosemite was during the Winter, so I can’t say how crowded the Base Camp Eatery is during peak season.
