Camping Reservations in Yosemite

Yosemite National Park features 13 popular campgrounds, all of which require reservations from April through October. In the winter months, Camp 4, Wawona, and Hodgdon Meadow operate on a first-come, first-served basis, though they often fill up on weekends and holidays.

Reservation release times vary by campground. Most non-lottery reservations become available at 7 a.m. Pacific Time and are typically claimed within minutes.

To increase your chances of securing a spot, ensure your clock is accurate, log in to Recreation.gov, and be ready before 7 a.m. Pacific Time. Additional guidance and answers to common questions are also available to assist with the reservation process.
