Costs
The park entrance fee applies to all visitors. If you arrive in your private car, van, pickup truck, or RV, the entrance fee is $20 per car. This is valid for unlimited entries to Yosemite for seven days, and includes all occupants of the car.

Otherwise, entrance fees are as follows:

$10 per person if arriving on foot, horseback, bicycle, motorcycle, or on a non-commercial bus (free for those 15 years old and younger).

Commercial tours pay the following rates (a special permit is required):

Commercial sedan (up to six seats): $25 (plus $10 per person)
Commercial van (7-15 seats): $125
Commercial mini bus (16-25 seats): $200
Commercial motor coach (more than 26 seats): $300
(Note that fees are based on capacity, not on occupancy.)

We accept cash, checks, traveler's checks, and credit/debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover). In addition to purchasing a pass at park entrance stations, passes are available at the visitor centers in Oakhurst, Mariposa, Groveland, and Lee Vining from about Memorial Day (late May) through Columbus Day (early October).

NOTE: Yosemite is proposing to increase entrance fees into the park. The single vehicle entrance fee would change from $20 to $30 for a seven day pass. The park's annual pass would increase from $40 to $60. The current rate of $10 per individual or motorcycle would increase to $15 for an individual and $25 per motorcycle. We are also evaluating current campground rates to determine if camping fees are adequate to sustain campground operations.
