Yosemite resumes campground reservations: Here’s when to book your spot

Last month, we reported that the authorities shut down camping reservations in some of Yosemite National Park’s most popular campgrounds. With spring travel season upon us, the California park has announced Yosemite reservations are available.

Yosemite reservations are available—but look for the details

You’ll soon be able to reserve a spot for any of these campgrounds:

• Upper Pines
• Lower Pines
• North Pines
• Wawona
• Hodgdon Meadow

There are some stipulations. Sites at Upper Pines are limited to those numbered 1 through 124.

When can you make your reservations? Gear up and be ready to tap your keyboard really fast, as reservations will likely go like lightning.

• June 15 through July 14 arrivals: opens Monday, March 24
• July 15 through August 14 arrivals: opens Monday, March 31

The reservations will be released at 7 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) on Recreation.gov. Officials may release more campground sites if operational capacity allows. If they release more reservations, they say they’ll give at least seven days’ advance notice through the park’s website and social media. Existing reservations will not be impacted.

Yosemite reservations are available, and you can bet they’ll be a hot commodity. Fire up your computer now!
