This Yosemite campground is finally open after a 3-year, $11M renovation
Yosemite National Park, California

Tuolumne Meadows Campground, originally constructed in the 1930s, has been a staple for Yosemite visitors, accommodating up to 2,200 guests nightly and serving over 141,000 overnight stays annually. However, the campground closed in 2022 to undergo a huge rehabilitation project funded by the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA). This closure was necessary to address more than $11 million in overdue repairs to Yosemite, including Tuolumne, since most of this campground's infrastructure dates back to the Civilian Conservation Corps era or Mission 66, and it wasn't designed for today's surge in visitation.

The campground was completely off-limits to the public due to extended construction on key areas, including updating utilities and repairing environmental degradation along the Tuolumne River. But finally, it is open and ready for the 2025 season. Here's what you can expect:

Ovrlnd gets “girthy” with the new, extra-wide Chubby truck camper package

Truck campers are the ultimate streamlined solution for overlanders. But the svelte, trail-friendly form factor means trading agility for living space. Ovrlnd Campers wants to remedy the typically cramped living quarters of most truck campers with a wider, more livable interior.

New for 2025, the Flagstaff, Arizona-based brand is adding a Chubby package to its lineup. By extending the width of any of its existing truck camper models by 3.5 inches on either side, the interior width expands by a full seven inches. That might not seem like much. But if you've spent any time living in your car or out of the back of a pickup truck, those extra seven inches feel downright luxurious.

Since its debut five years ago, the latest-gen Ford Bronco has taken its place alongside the Jeep Wrangler and Toyota 4Runner as one of the greatest overlanding rigs.
