car camping

came out of upper yosemite and needed a place to sleep, good spots (not directly on the road) were kind of hard to find in the dark but there were a bunch of other cars pulled over and sleeping everywhere along this road

Frequently Asked Questions

I don't have enough information to generate meaningful questions for this campground.

Highway 120 Roadside Camp offers informal, dispersed camping opportunities along the road outside of Yosemite National Park. This area serves primarily as a convenient overnight stop for travelers entering or exiting the park, particularly from the upper Yosemite area. Spots are not designated or developed, and finding suitable pull-offs away from the road may require some searching, especially after dark. The area sees regular use by other travelers looking for quick overnight stays. No facilities or amenities are available, so visitors should come prepared with all necessary supplies and practice Leave No Trace principles. This is best suited for self-sufficient campers who need a simple place to sleep during Yosemite travels.
