Camping in Yosemite

Summer 2022 Updates

A reservation is required to drive into Yosemite National Park during peak hours (6 am – 4 pm) from May 20 through September 30, 2022.

Reservations are required for all open campgrounds in 2022. There are no first-come, first-served campgrounds open. 

Wawona, Upper Pines, Lower Pines, North Pines, Camp 4, Hodgdon Meadow, Tamarack Flat, White Wolf, and Yosemite Creek Campgrounds should be open with reservations required. 

Tuolumne Meadows, Crane Flat , Bridalveil Creek, and Porcupine Flat Campgrounds will be closed in 2022. 

Do not come to Yosemite without an overnight reservation if you are intending to stay overnight. Same-day campground reservations are not available in the park.

Campground Reservations

Campground reservations can be very difficult to get, so be sure to get the details on campground reservations and look over frequently asked questions and tips for making reservations.

Camping without a Reservation (first-come, first-served camping)

There are no first-come, first-served campgrounds open in 2022.
First-come, first-served campgrounds are available all year, especially July through September (but it's very hard to find a first-come, first-served campsite in April, May, and June).
