Get Started FreeThe most famous valley in America fits fewer campers than a high school gym.
More than 4 million people visit Yosemite every year, yet the entire valley floor offers just 413 reservable campsites across three campgrounds: Upper Pines (238 sites), Lower Pines (88 sites), and North Pines (87 sites). These are the only campgrounds on the valley floor that accept reservations, which makes them the most sought-after sites in the entire national park system.
Reservations open on Recreation.gov 5 months in advance, on the 15th of each month at 7 a.m. PT. The best sites and most popular dates vanish in under two minutes. Miss that window and you're waiting on a cancellation.
Cancellations post to Recreation.gov in real time. There's no 8 a.m. batch hold. Dibs on Dirt monitors continuously so you don't have to refresh a browser 400 times a day hoping to catch the moment a site drops.
