Where can I make reservations for park accommodations?
For the future: All park lodging facilities are operated by Yosemite Concession Services Corp. on a one-year advance reservation system. Call the Yosemite Reservations Office in Fresno at (559) 252-4848. On the net: www.yosemitepark.com

For tonight: If visitors are inquiring about lodging inside the park, direct visitors to:
• The Valley Visitor Center. A courtesy phone in the visitor center connects the caller to the front desk of YCS accommodations. A list of lodging extension numbers is above the phone. There will also be a window booth at the Visitor Center where visitors can make reservations.
• Call YCS Lodging Reservations at (209) 372-1040.
• The front desks of YCS accommodations.

What if there is not any lodging available inside the park?
If nothing is available, a list of phone numbers for information about lodging outside the park is in the Yosemite Guide. The NPS cannot recommend specific accommodations. Instead, NPS gives out phone numbers for visitor bureaus in the surrounding communities.

How can I find out about the High Sierra Camps?
The visitor centers and front desks of lodging facilities usually stock brochures with general information about the camps. Otherwise, call the Yosemite Reservation Office in Fresno at (559) 253-5674. Reservations for the High Sierra Camps are available one year in advance on a lottery basis.
