Campsite, on the way to Glacier Pt

Are there any campsites past little Yosemite Valley on the
way to Glacier Point? Either the trail next to Panoramic
cliff or the longer way to Illitouette Creek?

Nope. It's illegal to camp along the panorama trail. You can head up toward Mono Meadow and camp along the Ilillouette.

If by the "trail next to Panoramic Cliff" you mean the JMT, you cannot camp there. No camping between Happy Isles and Little Yosemite anywhere, on either the Mist Trail or the JMT.

Thanks for the info. If you had to pick between Little
Yosemite Valley or a camp site along the Illilouette creek
which would you do? I have done the JMT and know there
is no camping from the valley floor and LYV. Did not know
about the panorama restrictions. Thanks!

Illilouette Creek hands down, unless there is some particular reason to camp in Little Yosemite. If my goal is to go up Half Dome or Clouds Rest, then Little Yosemite is fairly convenient. But if I am looking for a nice spot to camp away from crowds, Illilouette Creek is the spot.

I will be coming from half dome on my way out to
Glacier Point. Starting point was Tuolumne Meadows via
Lyell Canyon via JMT to Vogelsang. Does Illiloutte creek
have fish?
