I highly recommend you buy the National Geographic Yosemite National Park Map.
This will take the question out of whether you can camp at a specific spot or not.
If there are additional requirements they will normally be listed on your permit or
the issuing ranger will let you know them. They recently started asking where you will
be camping so you'd find out then too.
To my understanding in direct reponse to your question:
NO - You cannot camp at Yosemite Point
YES - You can camp on North Dome
Now someone may come back and say "you can camp there I did" but my
recommendation is to just go by the NG Map.
Lehamite should never be too much an issue to cross.
Ribbon probably isn't too much danger crossing... never crossed it that early but
I don't recall it being mentioned as ever much of an issue.
Memorial Day is always busy...
