Yosemite North Pines Campground Early Access Lottery

North Pines Campground will be utilizing a one-time Early Access Lottery for the entire 2023 season.

Yosemite North Pines Campground Early Lottery

The North Pines Campground reservations will be released by one-time early access lottery this season (April 17 through the night of October 29, 2023). Successful lottery applicants will have an opportunity to make a reservation for campsites in North Pines Campground during a less-competitive early access period. Any remaining availability will be released on the usual on-sale dates.

The lottery grants you early access to a less-competitive reservation environment prior to the general on-sale. It will not guarantee that all the dates, nor all the sites, will be available to you. Also be sure to have multiple dates in mind and don’t restrict yourself to specific sites.
