Yosemite National Park Camping in an RV or in a Tent – A
Great Destination Either Way
Within
Yosemite National Park, RV camping opportunities
abound. Whether you’re camping in a tent or RV, with your family
or a large group, in Yosemite Valley or the backcountry there’s
a place for you. There are traditional campgrounds and a variety
of tent cabin options. The one constant factor is to plan ahead.
Check out all of the possibilities, and then make your
reservations early.
Traditional Campgrounds
Thirteen campgrounds are spread out among three different areas
in the park. The most popular are the four in Yosemite Valley,
three of which require reservations during the summer. Only Camp
4’s 35 sites are first-come, first-served. There are two
campgrounds in the southern part of the park and seven ranged
along Tioga Road (California 120) as it crosses the park from
east to west. Of these, Wawona and Hodgdon Meadow are open all
year and require summer reservations. When planning your trip,
check the Yosemite National Park camping website for opening and
closing dates, RV restrictions and water availability.
Housekeeping Camp
This unusual Yosemite
National Park RV park area sits right on
the Merced River in Yosemite Valley. The 266 units have three
concrete walls, a concrete floor, and a canvas roof; the fourth
wall is a curtain which opens to a covered patio. Inside the
cabin are two single bunks, a double bed, table and chairs, and
electric light and outlets. Outside on the patio you’ll find a
picnic table and bear-proof food locker. Visitors may supply
their own bedding or rent it for an additional charge.
Housekeeping Camp may have units available when the campgrounds
are full.
Canvas Tent Cabins
Yosemite National Park camping choices include two areas with
canvas tent cabins with wood framing, doors, and raised floors.
One of these is Curry Village, right in the heart of Yosemite
Valley. Here each 2 to 5-person tent is equipped with cot-style
beds, but no cooking is allowed so campers should plan meals
accordingly. At White Wolf Lodge in the high country on Tioga
Road 24 tent cabins (and two regular cabins) make a nice base
for high country hiking, trail rides, or rock climbing.
