Best Campsite in Tuolumne Meadows

Hi everyone.

I'm wondering what is the best campsite in tuolumne meadows. We are looking to book the first of July when the campground opens and there is 2 kids and 3 adults (whom love to fish).

Does anybody have recommendations for specific campsites in tuolumne meadows?

Thanks.

Dean

The best I think are away from Tioga Road (less road noise at night and away from the mosquitos in early summer). I also like toward the center of the campground so I can walk to the store and cafe.

For pictures of individual campsites see,

Nice Dan, thanks.

Would you say Loop A then furthest from Tioga Rd? Is that walking distance to the store, where is the store?

The store is behind (south of) sites 26-30, where it says "store"

Loop A is the furthest. It's also near the river, so has more mosquitoes (a concern in July and maybe early August).

The Loops F and G are higher and drier, as are the back (north end) of loops B and C.
