If you want to snag a campsite at Yosemite, you might have to buy a lottery ticket first.
The park is getting so popular with campers that it's starting its own lottery system. The prize? A reservation at the park's most popular campground -- North Pines.
Yosemite is trying out the new system to create a fair and balanced way for people to make reservations.
The lottery begins Tuesday and tickets are $10. More than 600 winners will be announced next month.
