About Southwest Parking Area Self-Contained Camping
Overnight stays in self-contained vehicles are allowed in the part of the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center parking lot, often called the Southwest Parking Area. This area is open year-round, even when the Southwest Walk-in campground or the visitor center is closed. Tents are not allowed in this parking area. There is a per-night, per-spot camping fee to stay overnight.
