Yosemite National Park Announces Entrance and Campground Fee Increases
A summary of the fee increase for all the fee categories follows. The single vehicle entrance fee will raise from $20 per vehicle to $25 per vehicle for the month of March 2015, then to $30 per vehicle starting in April through October 2015. The new vehicle entrance fee is good for a seven day visit to Yosemite National Park. In November 2015, the vehicle entrance fee will decrease to $25 per vehicle. The park will implement low-season entrance fees of $25 per vehicle for the months of November through March in 2015 and 2016. High season, April through October, entrance fees will be $30 per vehicle in 2015 and 2016.
The park's annual pass will increase from $40 to $60, also on March 1. Currently, motorcycles are charged the $10 per individual rate. The new fee changes will include a flat rate per motorcycle of $15. Implementation of the new motorcycle entrance fee will be phased over the next several years. The rate will change to $15 per motorcycle on March 1, 2015. The rate will adjust to $20 per motorcycle in 2016. Interagency Passes, which are honored at all federally managed land units, are not affected by the proposed fee increase and will remain at $80 for the regular pass, $10 for the Senior Pass and free for the Access and Military passes. Fees for commercial buses are also not affected by these changes.
Campground fees, which have been in place since 2006, will also increase on March 1, 2015. Camping fees currently range from $5 per night to $20 per night for family sites and $40 per night for group sites. The fee increase will change the rates from $6 per night to $26 per night for family sites and $50 per night for group sites. Campsite reservations can be made up to five months in advance. Campsites requiring reservations will see the increase in camping fees starting on February 15, 2015, for reservations between June 15 and July 14, 2015. However, all first-come, first-served campground fees will increase on March 1.
