Yosemite National Park is reopening all its campgrounds for the first time since 2019, including 500 additional campsites. Key campgrounds like White Wolf, Tamarack Flat, and Yosemite Creek will open this June, but reservations are needed, and some campgrounds lack drinking water. The openings align with Secretary Doug Burgum's directive for national parks to remain accessible amid staffing shortages and budget constraints, which have resulted in limited operational hours for reservations and additional responsibilities for non-custodial staff.
"Opening all the campsites will help allow as many visitors as possible to experience the beauty of Yosemite in a safe and accessible manner."
"Due to a staffing shortage, Yosemite employees across various roles have had to take on shifts cleaning campground bathrooms, ensuring guest amenities are maintained."
