The park rangers have declared that all 13 of the park’s campgrounds will be open for this summer season, providing around 500 additional camping sites for visitors to enjoy the outdoors.

For the first time since 2019, the park is now open for camping across all campgrounds.

We’re thrilled to welcome the public to these campgrounds as we head into the bustling summer season,” stated Acting Yosemite National Park Superintendent Ray McPadden. “Campers in this park get an enchanting experience, and our aim is to offer this to as many guests as we can.

Starting from June 15 at 7 a.m., bookings for these locations can be made online. Following this date, reservations will become available every day, rolling out two weeks ahead of each visit.
