Bridalveil Creek Campground
Bridalveil Creek Campground is located on Glacier Point Road, about 8 miles from Highway 41 and about 45 minutes from either Yosemite Valley or Wawona. The campsites in Bridalveil Creek Campground are well spaced out in attractive settings, offering a lot more privacy than in most other campgrounds in the park.
The campground has 110 standard tent and RV campsites along with a group camp and a horse camp. Reservations are required for all sites, including sites in the group and horse camps at Bridalveil Creek Campground. In all camps, food (including horse and other pet food) must be stored in bear-proof lockers, not in vehicles.
"All campgrounds [in Yosemite] will require a reservation from approximately April through October. First-come, first-served camping is not available during this time. Any canceled reservations will be available on Recreation.gov until the arrival date."
Booking Window
"Bridalveil Creek campsites are available up to two months in advance on the 15th of each month at 7:00 a.m. PST. For example, on May 15, arrival dates from June 15 to July 14 become available to reserve, and therefore, the full potential arrival window would be from season opening to July 14."
