Redwood camping in Yosemite

Camping in Yosemite’s redwoods means pitching your tent beneath ancient giants, where the forest muffles the noise and light of the outside world. With over 3,800 tent-camping spots tucked among towering trunks and fern-filled gullies, you’ll find sites along streams, near big meadows, and deep in the shade. Many allow pets, have toilets, and let you build a campfire—just check local rules first. Wake up early, and you might spot mule deer wandering the paths. Trails wind right from camp, leading to swimming holes and old logging routes perfect for hiking or horseback riding. If you want a true Yosemite experience, set up your tent here and let the redwoods do the rest.
