	Yosemite National Park How to Make a Reservation

Before making a campground reservation, visit the campground reservations page for information about when to make your reservation.

To make a reservation, visit Recreation.gov and follow the instructions below.

1. Enter “Yosemite”2. Choose whether you want to check for availability on specific dates or whether you have flexibility to choose from a range of dates.3. Enter your arrival date (or first date in your range of dates). If entering a range of dates, also enter the last date in your range.4. Enter how many nights you want to camp.5. Search!6. If you have an RV, when on the next screen, choose “spot with” and enter the length of your RV. (This will not produce accurate results if you have a trailer.)

If you have trouble finding a reservation, try looking for just one night at a time. You can do this by changing the length of stay to one night and then clicking on the date range availability choice (see below) once you have chosen a specific campground. You may be able to get different campsites each night (rather than one campsite for your entire stay).

It's common for no reservations to be available from spring through fall. If you are unable to find a reservation, information is available about camping without a reservation.


			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.
