Yosemite National Park is delaying the release of summertime campsite reservations at popular campgrounds due to staffing challenges.
The delay, affecting reservations from June 15th to July 14th, comes amidst concerns over a shortage of seasonal workers, impacting crucial campground operations. This follows previous staffing issues linked to a former federal hiring freeze.
The park, a summer hotspot, relies heavily on seasonal staff for maintenance and fee collection. This delay adds to existing reservation systems, including day-use reservations, implemented to manage crowds.
While winter day-use reservations are in place, details for summer entry are expected after February 26th, with further information on campground reservations also anticipated in early 2025.
