Q1: Any idea on the opening Bridalveil Creek Campground for 2017? Obviously it's hard to predict, but based on your experience, do you think it's a good option for July camping this year?
Q2: If July is unlikely, what about Aug or early Sept?
According to the NPS Yosemite website, Bridalveil Creek Campground is currently scheduled to be open from August 1st through September 18th.
Other first-come/first-served campgrounds in Yosemite are scheduled to open sometime in late July or early August.
The approximate opening dates for the campgrounds can be found in the table near the middle of this webpage:
