best tent campsite yosemite image
R T 24
We recently purchased an 18' x 10' ten person tent and are worried that we won't be able to find a spot easily at a typical campsite to pitch it. Have we gone overboard on size?
Answer
All of the campsites I have been to would have had more than enough room for a tent that size. I don't know how many you have been to, but usually you get a good size piece of land to set up on. Enough room for your vehicle, one or two tents, a picnic table, and a fire pit. I'm sure you are good to go. Happy camping! By the way, I love those big tents that have "bedrooms" and stuff. But usually a ten person tent will only sleep 6-8 comfortably. Check out this site for tips on finding a great campsite: http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Falls/9200/choosing_perfect_campsite.html

What is the best camping spot in Yosemite National Park?

I know I can read about all the sites but I want to know from a real person who knows Yosemite well, someone not bias. We are looking for a tent spot, preferrably not close to other campers, and would like to be very close to some kind of water. We are aware that reservations need to be made far in advance. We are planning for summer of 09'. Anybody? Thanks for the help!
Answer
All of the campsites in the valley, upper and lower pines and north pines as well as camp 4 are all crowded, but have the best views ever. Now you can also go to White wolf which is a first come, first serve on the way to toulome meadows. We have never had a problem getting in there as we arrive Sunday morning. Also there are some drive to campsites like porcupine flats that are a lot more in the boonies that are not crowded. Then there is a secret campground near north pines. It is for backpackers and is never crowded. The problem with this one is you are only allowed to stay a day or two. To make reservations for Yosemite next year, you go on line 5 months in advance on the 15 of the month at 7am pacific standard time. I always do this by having the reservation site bookmarked and ready to go before 7am. No matter what, Yosemite is still my favorite camping place in all of California. I don't let the crowds bother me and fine many of them entertaining.
