SAN JOSE, Calif. — In an attempt to address “frustration and disappointment” over the Yosemite reservations process, the national park this year is testing a lottery for spots at one of its campgrounds.
From 7 a.m. Pacific time on Tuesday, Jan. 18, to 8 p.m. on Feb. 6, potential campers can submit their names at the Reservations.gov site for early-access booking of North Pines with arrival dates of July 21 through Sept. 14.
On Feb. 10, 640 selected applicants will be emailed a time slot to make a reservation online, starting the following week.
