Tuolumne Meadows Campground

Campground Status

Tuolumne Meadows Campground Closed Until 2024 or 2025

A major project to rehabilitate the Tuolumne Meadows Campground is underway. As a result, the campground will be closed until 2024 or 2025 (depending on length of construction season, weather delays, etc.). No camping of any kind will be available at Tuolumne Meadows during this time. The backpackers campground will also be closed.

What will be different when the campground reopens?

• Improved and simplified road system
• Rehabilitated restrooms, with two new restrooms added
• Redesigned campsites with hardened parking pads
• Seventeen campsites relocated from along the river in A loop to an area away from the river (no change in the total number of campsites in the campground)
• Backpackers campground relocated within the campground to the John Muir Trail trailhead
• Twelve walk-to campsites (with nearby parking)
• New picnic tables, food lockers, fire rings in each campsite
• Improved accessibility for people with disabilities, including at the Dana Campfire Circle
• Updated water and sewer system
