DISCOVER THE ADVENTURE
YOSEMITE CAMPING
I just love camping – especially Yosemite camping! And for me, camping in a tent is the only way to go! Why? you may very well ask. Because you have all the smells and sights and sounds of your environment right there! There’s next to nothing between you and Mother Nature.
Of course, some people might be thinking that’s the problem with tent camping! For those of you who prefer RVs or cabins or lodges, I understand.

And having the kids come out of their tent sleepy-eyed, and crawl
up in your lap to cuddle and get warm;
There’s nothing like sitting around the campfire after a great dinner of hot dogs and beans (surely it’s the best food you’ve ever tasted!), while you roast marshmallows and sing camp songs, or tell ghost stories;
Or having your young son play Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star on his flute – the haunting notes floating through the forest – and the campers around you applauding his efforts;
Or falling asleep to the sound of the wind soughing through the
tree tops as you snuggle, warm and cozy, in your sleeping bag.
There’s absolutely nothing to compare with camping in Yosemite!

There are 13 campgrounds in Yosemite National Park, some in Yosemite Valley, and some in the High Country. The following rules apply to all of them:

- Beware of Bears!
All food items, sundries that have a smell (like toothpaste), etc. must (for your own safety) be stored in the food lockers provided for that purpose. Bears are very clever at breaking into cars!
- Campfires
Campfires are allowed in all campgrounds at all times, except – between May 1st and October 1st in the Valley. During those months, campfires in the Valley are allowed only between 5 pm and 10 pm.
- Camp in Campgrounds Only
There’s no camping (or sleeping in cars) allowed outsided of designated campgrounds, unless you have a Wilderness Permit.
- Maximums
No more than 6 people and 2 vehicles per campsite; no more than 30 days camping per year (during summer months your camping is limited to 14 days).
- Pets
Pets, properly attended and leashed, are allowed in all campgrounds except Camp 4, Tamarack, Porcupine, and group sites.
- Quiet Hours
Quiet hours in campgrounds
are 10 pm to 6 am.
- Wastewater
All camp wastewater must be properly disposed of.

Plugging extension cords into restroom outlets is not allowed.
I hope that listing the above rules will help you to know what to expect and to prepare for your camping experience at Yosemite National Park!
