Hi everyone. I want to camp in Yosemite from approximately July 5-11.
I'll be coming into the San Fran airport, and taking Amtrack over. I'm thinking I'll have to stay at a hotel near the park (or inside, if they aren't all full) and then go to the campground in the morning so I can get a spot.
First question, hotel suggestions?
Tuolumne Meadows looks perfect to me, reservations are full but 50% of sites are on first come, first serve basis. Second question, if I get there bright and early, will I be sure to get a spot?
Third, there are no showers or laundry facilities in Tuolumne, it looks like. Could I shuttle/train down to the valley campsite in the morning every other day and use shower facilities there?
Last, I read that in Tuolumne there is a restaurant, post office, grocery store, bathrooms.. are these all within walking distance of the campground?
Thanks!
Sarah
