Do you Need Reservations for Yosemite in 2025?
You won’t need a Park Entrance Reservation/Peak-Hour Reservation if you have a reservation at The Redwoods In Yosemite.
Because all Redwoods In Yosemite cabins are inside the park, your cabin reservation takes the place of any additional entrance reservation requirement.
For 2025, Reservations Will be Required to Enter Yosemite National Park during certain periods.
A reservation will be required to drive into or through Yosemite National Park on some days from May 24 through September 1, 2025, for those driving into the park between 6 am and 2 pm as follows:
May 24 through May 26 (Memorial Day weekend): A reservation is required from 6 am to 2 pm on Saturday through Monday.
June 15 through August 15: A reservation is required from 6 am to 2 pm every day.
August 30 through September 1 (Labor Day weekend): A reservation is required from 6 am to 2 pm on Saturday through Monday.
Driving through the park will also require a reservation if entering between 6 am and 2 pm. If you are planning to visit after peak hours, please do not arrive before 2 pm; vehicles blocking roads will be cited.
Outside of these times, reservations are not necessary.
Fortunately, guests staying at The Redwoods In Yosemite Vacation Home Rentals don’t need to worry about the reservation system because all of The Redwoods’ cabins are in Wawona, inside the park. The extra Yosemite peak-hour reservations aren’t required if you have lodging inside the park. Plus, if you want a longer visit, your entry privileges extend for the entire duration of your cabin reservation, not just the three days of the park entrance reservation.
So, if you want to keep things simple and safe, get a lodging reservation inside the park so you don’t have to worry about any Yosemite day reservations that might be coming.
