Tuolumne Meadows Campground
Hosted by National Park Service
New listing
Tuolumne Meadows Campground is located in breathtaking Yosemite National Park in Central California's rugged Sierra Nevada Mountain Range at an elevation of 8,600 feet, situated along the scenic Tioga Road just five miles from the Tioga Pass Entrance Station. Within Yosemite, visitors can gaze upon waterfalls, sheer granite cliffs, deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, vast wilderness areas, and so much more. Campsites in Yosemite are extremely popular and typically sell out in minutes; login to your account or create a new account before the 7:00 a.m. (PST) release time. The campground recently had a complete overhaul and rehabilitation of the campsites. Please be mindful of young plants and shrubs by keeping all wheels on parking pads and camping equipment within established campsites. This large, popular campground contains family, horse and group camp sites with picnic tables, fire rings and food storage lockers. Flush toilets, drinking water and an amphitheater are provided. Tuolumne Meadows Visitor Center is within walking distance, as is a general store. Popular activities in the area include hiking, rock climbing, backpacking and fishing. The 4.8-mile roundtrip trail to Elizabeth Lake begins in the campground and climbs to a glacier-carved lake at the base of Unicorn Peak. Other trails in Tuolumne Meadows include Soda Springs and Parsons Lodge, Lyell Canyon via the John Muir Trail, Cathedral Lakes, Mono Pass and Glen Aulin. Nearby Tenaya Lake is a magnificent spot for picnicking, swimming and canoeing. Tuolumne Meadows embodies the high-country of the Sierra Nevada, with its broad sub-alpine meadows and granite domes and peaks. The gentle Tuolumne River, Lyell Fork and Dana Fork flow through the vast, colorful meadows bursting with seasonal wildflowers, surrounded by stands of Western White pine, Mountain hemlock and Lodgepole pine. Yosemite Valley is 55 miles and two hours from Tuolumne Meadows, with abundant hiking trails and bike paths, rafting on the Merced River when water levels are sufficient, guided bus tours, educational programs, museums, ranger-led activities and an art center with workshops; Glacier Point, an hour from the valley, has sweeping views of Half Dome, Vernal and Nevada Falls and Clouds Rest, among other notable landmarks.
