Camping at Yosemite means sheer granite walls like El Capitan and Half Dome, thundering waterfalls, giant sequoias and alpine meadows. The park’s campgrounds are in Yosemite Valley, along Tioga Road in the high country, at Wawona and near Hetch Hetchy, and gateway towns and national forests around the park add more options. Spring brings the most powerful waterfalls, summer opens the high country, and fall is quieter.

Yosemite campgrounds are among the hardest to book in the US: reservations open months ahead and sell out quickly, so plan early and be ready on release day. Food storage rules are strict because of bears: use the bear-proof lockers and never leave food in your vehicle overnight. Check before your trip whether a park entry reservation is required for your dates.

Facilities, fees and opening times come from OpenStreetMap and can be out of date. Check with the site before you go. Campsite data: © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0 · Updated October 3, 2026

FAQs

When is the best time to camp in Yosemite?

Late spring, around May and June, is ideal for waterfalls, while summer is the only time the high country along Tioga Road is fully accessible, though it’s also the busiest. September and October are quieter with pleasant days. In winter, only a few campgrounds stay open, and you may need tire chains on park roads.

Yosemite: how many campsites and motorhome stopovers are there?

OpenStreetMap lists 124 campsites and 8 motorhome stopovers in this region. Most of them are around Mammoth Lakes, June Lake, Tunnel View and Oakhurst.
