Overview
There is no drinking water provided here. Restrooms are portable toilets.
Staying at White Wolf Campground requires reservations.
White Wolf typically opens mid-July and closes mid to late September, depending on the opening of the Tioga Road and related seasonal facility and road work.
White Wolf Campground is located off the Tioga Road between Tuolumne Meadows and Crane Flat, approximately an hour from Yosemite Valley at 8,000 feet (2,400 m). The campground is tucked into the forest about a mile from Tioga Road near White Wolf Lodge. Trailheads nearby lead to Lukens and Harden Lakes and the area is popular for those accessing other wilderness destinations. Minimal services may be available at White Wolf Lodge (if open). There are no other visitor services close to the campground.
Facilities
Seasonal facilities include potable water (not available in 2025), flush toilets (not available in 2025), trash/recycling collection, food storage lockers, fire rings, picnic tables, staff/host on-site, and an amphitheater. NOTE: White Wolf is open but with portable toilets and NO DRINKING WATER.
Wood and charcoal fires are permitted when the campground is open.
There is no cell phone reception, no internet connectivity, no camp store, no ice or firewood for sale, no laundry facilities, no dump station and no showers.
Recreation
Yosemite's trails, cliffs, roads and rivers provide endless recreational activities for any kind of visitor. Hiking, biking, rock climbing, fishing, horseback riding, rafting, auto touring, and photography are all very popular activities within the park. The White Wolf area has hiking and backpacking opportunities that begin near the campground, such as Lukens Lake, Harden Lake and the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne. The Crane Flat area, 23 miles west, offers many other hiking opportunities such as Tuolumne and Merced Groves of Giant Sequoias, both of which require a 2.5 to 3-mile roundtrip hike to view. Tuolumne Meadows and all it's High Sierra wonder lie 25 miles to the east, where many beautiful day and overnight excursions await.
