Free photography walks are offered all year (check Yosemite Guide for listings).

Cars and campers in a meadow in Yosemite Valley.

Did You Know?
Unrestricted camping is no longer allowed in Yosemite Valley because of damage it causes. The placement of campgrounds and campsites has changed over the past 75 years in response to a growing understanding of river dynamics, geologic hazards, and the park's natural and cultural resources.
