Camping at Yosemite Creek Campground near Yosemite National Park

Public campground · Yosemite National Park · 74 campsites

A forested campground near hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

The campground shifted to reservation-only access in 2022, and its location on Tioga Road places you within reach of Tuolumne Meadows, Tenaya Lake and the High Sierra backcountry while keeping you away from the valley's crowds plan day trips rather than relying on on-site services. At the site level you'll find easy opportunities for bouldering, bird watching, short walks and creekside relaxing; for longer outings, nearby Yosemite Valley offers museums, bike paths and world-class climbing, and the Mariposa Grove and Pioneer History Center are a drive away.

“Road to campground is very rough and long, distance to yosemite Valley and where all hiking trails and village located is about 1 hr drive”

Jose S 3 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“One of my favorite campgrounds in the Sierras. Nice to have the creek right next to the campsite. Take a walk to the upper falls and enjoy the breathtaking view. ”

Balint S 5 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Great site! Definitely a rough road to drive in on, I recommend 4wd. But a beautiful and peaceful campground!”

How far ahead to book Yosemite Creek Campground

For July weekends, book about 14 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 7 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
July7 days ahead14 days ahead5 days ahead12 days ahead
August6 days ahead14 days ahead3 days ahead6 days ahead
September3 days ahead4 days ahead3 days ahead4 days ahead

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (4,622 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
