2024 Entrance Reservations

Mid-April through October 2024 Reservation Requirement

A reservation will be required to drive into Yosemite during two different periods in the summer of 2024. Keep reading for details about the two systems; the two systems are different.

• January 1 through February 9: No reservation is required to drive into Yosemite.
• February 10 through 25: A reservation is required 24 hours per day on Saturdays, Sundays, and Washington's Birthday (Monday, February 19).
• February 26 through April 12: No reservation is required to drive into Yosemite.
• April 13 through June 30: A reservation is required from 5 am to 4 pm on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays (May 27 and June 19).
• July 1 through August 16: A reservation is required from 5 am to 4 pm every day.
• August 17 through October 27: A reservation is required from 5 am to 4 pm on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays (September 2 and October 14).

Driving through the park will also require a reservation if entering between 5 am and 4 pm. If you are planning to visit after peak hours, please do not arrive before 4 pm; vehicles blocking roads will be cited. The temporary reservation system will help manage congestion and provide a quality visitor experience. We are experimenting with a few different ideas for this summer as we work on the Visitor Access Management Plan.

In-Park Lodging or Vacation Rentals

If you have a reservation for one of the following (in-park lodging or vacation rentals), you do not need an additional reservation. You still pay the $35-per-car entrance fee upon arrival (credit card only) unless you have an annual or lifetime pass. Your reservation for in-park lodging or camping, a Half Dome permit, or a wilderness permit allows you to enter the park 24 hours per day for the duration of your reservation or three consecutive days (whichever is longer).
