Campground outside of Yosemite (near Half Dome)
Posted: Mon Jul 13, 2009 4:21 pm
Greetings avid hikers,
I am planning a trip to Yosemite and conquer the Half Dome. I have never been to Yosemite and I would like some feedbacks on where I should camp. All the campgrounds in Lower pine, Upper pine and North pine are unavailable at the time of my visit (August 27-29th, 2009).
Therefore, I will have to resort to campgrounds outside of Yosemite; which I do not mind if the drive is less than 30 min (max. 1 hour) from the start of the Half Dome hike.
Please help!
What campgrounds should I look into? First-come, first-serve basis? Fee? Permit?
Thanks!
