North Pines Campground

About this spot

Overview For the 2026 season, North Pines campground utilized a one-time Early Access Lottery that allowed successful applicants to make a reservation within the entire 2026 season. Additional information may be found on Yosemite’s website. (https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/lottery-pilot.htm) Any remaining availability will be released during normal on-sale dates beginning with the February 15 on-sale. When not on a lottery, campsites at North Pines are available up to five months in advance on the 15th of each month at 7:00 a.m. (PT). For example, on February 15, arrival dates for the time period June 15 to July 14 become available to reserve, and therefore, the full arrival date window would be from season opening to July 14. North Pines Campground is located in breathtaking Yosemite National Park in Central California's rugged Sierra Nevada Mountain Range at an elevation of 4000 feet. The site is situated in the heart of Yosemite Valley, an awe-inspiring landscape containing many of the famous features for which Yosemite National Park is known. Within Yosemite, visitors can gaze upon waterfalls, sheer granite cliffs, deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, vast wilderness areas and so much more. Reservation tips!
