- Campground Reservation Rules Made Simple:
- Reservation Limits: You can hold up to 2 campsite reservations per campground at a time. For example, if you already have one reservation in Upper Pines, you can only add one more in Upper Pines. However, you’re free to book 2 reservations in other campgrounds like Wawona, Hodgdon Meadow, and Upper Pines sites 1-124.
- Nightly Limits:
- Each account is limited to 30 nights of camping per year in Yosemite.
- During peak season (May 1–September 15), you can camp up to 14 nights, with only 7 of those nights allowed in Yosemite Valley or Wawona.
- Reservations in Hodgdon Meadow (HM), Tuolumne Meadows (TM), or other non-Valley/Wawona campgrounds do not count toward your 7-night Valley/Wawona limit but do count toward your 14-night peak season limit.
Let’s make this Yosemite season unforgettable. 🎉 Ready, set, BOOK! ⛰️
