Yosemite Campsite Share Getting camp sites in Yosemite is hard. So hard. So hard that you have to book 6 months in advance. And you have to do it right at 7:00am on the dot. At 7:01 sites are gone.

So this group is about helping more people camp in Yosemite. How? Well sites allow up to 6 people, and yo …
