Make the Most of Your Yosemite National Park Trip

From waterfalls to wildlife, Yosemite delivers endless wonder. Here’s how to make your RV camping trip unforgettable:

Tips for Visiting Yosemite by RV

Harvest Hosts offers serene overnight options just outside the park, so you can skip the crowded campgrounds and still enjoy close access. Just be aware of tunnel and road length restrictions—some roads may not be suitable for larger rigs.

Best Times to Visit Yosemite

Spring (for waterfalls), summer (for hiking), and fall (for golden leaves and fewer crowds) are ideal. Winter is beautiful too—with snow-covered granite—but requires more planning.

Pro Travel Tips

Bring plenty of drinking water, sturdy shoes, and a camera. Use CampersCard to score campground perks nearby, and CampScanner to monitor for cancellations inside the park.

Our Membership Perks

Our Hosts offer a different way for RVers to meet other travelers, stay overnight in gorgeous settings, and create memories that can’t be made in a retail parking lot.
