White Wolf Campground
White Wolf Campground is located 1 mile off Tioga Road (Highway 120), about 1 hour from Yosemite Valley and 28 miles from Tuolumne Meadows. The campground is a popular base for hikers who like to explore the nearby wilderness areas. The Middle Tuolumne River flows past the campground.
White Wolf Campground has standard tent and RV campsites along with a Backpackers' Camp and some tent cabins. Many campsites are designated for tents only. In all camps, food and other scented items must be stored in bear-proof lockers, not in vehicles.
Not all sites will accommodate the maximum trailer and RV lengths shown below.
