Some important notes:
- Campground opening and closing dates in the "Open approx." column are tentative and can vary from year to year.
- Reservations: campgrounds requiring reservations are usually full from around April through September. You should make a reservation as early as possible. If you don't have reservations, find out more about camping without reservations.
- Tap water and creek water: Campgrounds listed as having creek water have vault toilets (not regular restrooms). Campgrounds listed as having tap water have regular restrooms.
- Showers are only available in Yosemite Valley at Curry Village and Housekeeping Camp, and during limited afternoon hours at Tuolumne Meadows Lodge (summer only). Showers are not available elsewhere.
- Dump stations are available at Upper Pines Campground (all year), near Wawona Campground (summer only), and near Tuolumne Meadows Campground (summer only). No campsites in Yosemite have hook-ups.
- RV campsites are available in most campgrounds.
- Group campsites are available all year at Wawona Campground, and during summer at Hodgdon Meadow, Bridalveil Creek, and Tuolumne Meadows Campgrounds.
- Stock campsites are available during summer at Wawona, Bridalveil Creek, and Tuolumne Meadows Campgrounds.

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.
