Tuolumne Meadows Campground Status

July 1, 2025

After 3 years of rehabilitation, Tuolumne Meadows Campground (in Yosemite National Park) has reopened and taking camping reservations. About 1/2 of the campsites can be reserved and the other half are first-come, first-serve.

For the 2025 season, Tuolumne Meadows will have a different reservation schedule:

July 1: arrival dates August 1 through August 14 will release.
July 15: arrival dates August 15 through September 14 will release.
Aug 15: arrival dates September 15 through September 21 will release.

For the last 3 years the campground underwent a major rehabilitation project to modernize the 329 campsites and facilities. Campsites will include walk-in, drive-in and fully accessible sites designed for tent, trailer, RV, backpackers and groups. Equestrian campsites will also be available. The work will also enhance the visitor experience, fix structures damaged from heavy snowfall, and repair aging, inefficient infrastructure.

CampsitePhotos.com will post new photos for all of Tuolumne Meadows renovated campsites and facilities later this year or early next.

What will be different when Tuolumne Meadows Campground reopens?

• Improved and simplified road system
• Rehabilitated restrooms, with two new restrooms added
