What changed

Closures, reopenings, and what opens next.

Block release
Tuolumne Meadows CampgroundYosemite National Park · CA
Opens for booking Tuesday, September 15 · 07:00 PT. Repeats on this day every month.
Blocks released on the 15th of each month at 7 am PT per the Recreation.gov facility page. Window length is disputed between sources: Recreation.gov states a 5-month window, while the NPS Yosemite camping page describes half of the sites releasing 2 months ahead on the 15th and half on a 2-week rolling window following rehabilitation. Confirm on the facility page before planning around it.

Before that: the engine's first pass

1,278 first readings

On August 24, 2026 the status engine ran for the first time and wrote 1,278 readings in one pass. Those are not listed above, because nothing changed on the ground that day: it is the day we started keeping the record. Everything the lists show is a campground whose status moved after that.
