FAQs: Yosemite National Park Camping
If you plan to camp in Yosemite you must book most campgrounds as far as six months in advance due to the high demand and low supply. Camping in Yosemite Valley is of the highest demand, especially in peak season. If you’re booking in a shorter window, consider campgrounds outside of Yosemite National Park which are less well-known. Another option is camp in the vast wilderness area outside of the park in the Sierra and Stanislaus National Forest where dispersed camping takes some additional know-how, but does not require a permit.
Pricing per night varies based on where you’re staying when you visit Yosemite. However, you can expect to pay in the neighborhood of $30-$40 per night to camp in Yosemite.

Reservations are also much more difficult to get camping during peak season months from June to September.
Additional Yosemite lodging options include hotels and motels, cabin rentals, and bed and breakfasts.
