Yosemite National Park has announced it will delay the sale of summer reservations for its popular campsites. In a post on its social media pages Friday, the park said the delay impacts five campgrounds: Upper Pines, Lower Pines, North Pines, Wawona, and Hodgdon Meadow. The delay will impact reservations from June 15 to July 14.

Glacier and Colorado ’s Rocky Mountain National Park introduced their day-use reservation system in 2021. A handful of other parks require reservations to visit specific locations, like Cadillac Summit at Acadia and Angel’s Landing at Zion.

Yosemite National Park has announced it is delaying reservation bookings at popular camping sites amid uncertainty and widespread firings of federal positions.

Yosemite's inability to hire seasonal staff could be "catastrophic" for the national park, said a former superintendent.
