Typically, during the campground's open season (approx. July - September), all sites are available by reservation. About half the campsites are available in blocks of one month at a time, up to two months in advance, on the 15th of each month at 7 am Pacific time. The other half of campsites are available two weeks in advance on a daily rolling window (i.e., 14 days in advance) at 7 am Pacific time. Be aware that nearly all campground reservations in Yosemite for the months of May through September and for some other weekends are filled the first day they become available, usually within seconds or minutes after 7 am Pacific time.
