My family and I will be going camping to Yosemite. We want to camp near a place that we can fish such as a River (preferably). Where is a good campsite that we could stay at near a good fishing place and not to crowded with people? Any ideas???

The Bridalveil Creek Campground lies along Glacier Point Road, 25 miles from the Yosemite Valley, at an elevation of 7,200 feet. It is open from June through September with sites available on a first come, first served basis. There are 110 sites available, that can accommodate RVs, trailers and tents. Each site contains a picnic table and fire pit. Campground amenities include drinking water, flush toilets and a dump station. Pets are permitted at this site. Campers can enjoy fishing, hiking, backpacking and scenic driving from this location.

Other then tent camping, the housekeeping cabins at Curry village would be the least expensive. The are soft sided tents with picnic tables near them. In the winter they also have some with heaters. All you bring is you linens or sleeping bags, you own food or eat out and your personal items. The next less expensive place to stay would be Yosemite lodge which is like a decent motel right in the village. My favorite hike is on happy isle trail or some call it the mist trail up to Vernal falls. If you can't make it all the way up, you can get a great view of the falls at the 1/2 mile mark. Another thing to do is to hop on the free shuttle and get off wherever you want. it takes you all around the valley floor. For a more expansive tour the valley floor tour is pretty good too.
