Camping in Yosemite National Park | Best Options and How to Get a Site

[@violetrogers3755]

Just when I was looking at reservations, you upload! I got lucky with three nights at Wawona…it was easier getting five-star dinner reservations in Manhattan than a spot in Yosemite. Crazy. 😁

Congrats!!

Haha, my climbing buddy used to get up at 4 am and drive from Mammoth to get us a site at Camp 4. What's really nice there is it's very international. You hear neighbors speaking German, French, Spanish, Rusian around the camp fire and can make friends and trade weird stories. It's the best camp site if you are a climber.

Ooooh that's awesome! It's such a unique setup...I'll bet you make some new friends each time you stay there!

I'm planning to grab a spot at White Wolf campground for 5 nights in late July. Any tips for grabbing a spot there in particular?

[@DirtInMyShoes]

Nope, same process! Be there right when it opens, do your homework beforehand, and have every adult who will be camping with you make an account and try to snatch something up!

None of the campgrounds you mention are on the website. We have a reservation in Grant campground. It doesn't list a specific site? We are driving from Mt Rusmore.

This video is for Yosemite! You'll want to watch the one for Yellowstone :)

What’s your favorite campground?

[@DirtInMyShoes]

It totally depends on what I'm planning to do during my trip, but if I don't need to be in the valley, I prefer somewhere like Hodgdon Meadow, Crane Flat, or Tamarack Flat usually!
