Hi Folks,
Obvious first time poster and first time (hopeful) Yosemite camper.... never even been on a day trip...
I had ran the search function and called the park with limited success and and hoping some vets would kindly share some insight..
I am looking to take my family and in-laws (10 total) for a camping trip to the valley. I do understand that I have to be both quick and lucky with the reservation process. My wife, kids and self are experienced campers but it has been a while for the wife's parents who are adventurous 70 year old's. The niece and nephew are good to go as well.
With that in mind, I have looked at the double sites but they appear to be semi hard/loose paved and the tents must be in this area. (what I was told.)- will these sites accommodate 3 10x12 tents, 2 suburbans and a car? The pics from the reservation site and yosemitecampsite.com photos have me wishy-washy at that prospect.
or am I better of trying to get two separate sites next to each other? (would need to be extremely lucky I am sure)--
Thanks for any and all insight folks can provide-
Smokey (yes it is my real nickname for over 43 years, I am 44)
