Your Questions About Camping In Yosemite
James asks…
I need ideas for meals for our 9 day camping trip.?
We are going camping Yosemite for 9 days. We will have a stove and we already have the typical meals planned like chilli, hot dogs, bacon & eggs, sandwiches and stuff like that but we need more since we will be eating 9 breakfasts, 9 lunches, and 8 dinners. We also have to keep in mind of the quantity of stuff we bring since all of our food have to fit in the bear lockers provided. Please help with some good easy recipes.

If you have eggs and milk take pancake mix in a ziplock bag. Do lots of fishing. Check your local grocery store for dehydrated food packs. Ramen is a good one and great before hikes with a can of tuna or fish you caught. Remember you also want lighter stuff if you are packing in. TVP (textured vegetable protein)also, a big bag of it.
Helen asks…
Where could we go camping in Yosemite National Park?
We are a large group. approx 30 people. We want to be near a river or a lake. Also be able to make fire and grill. Tent only.

There are lots of places to go, and they ALL fill up quick. We are going to Yellowstone this year, we got reservations in the park for July back in November. We stayed outside Yosemite in Groveland, at a place called Yosemite Pines RV Park, they did accept tent campers as well. Groveland is just outside a Yosemite entrance. They did have large groups when we were there plus free WIFI.

Laura asks…
Camping; Yosemite Valley, which campground?
I'm an experienced camper, but new to California. I'm planning a camping trip for next summer (Arriving July 29th and leaving August 3rd) I know reservations have to be made significantly in advance, but was wondering which campground would be best. I intend to do a lot of hiking (as in watching the sunrise as I hike and only returning to camp for a late evening dinner and some sleep) Which campsites are best located to all the major landmarks and trailheads? I'm looking especailly for Half Dome, Mirror Lake, and at least a couple waterfalls. Also, the more isolation, the better. I am not a people person and will be traveling alone, without pers and do not require a fire ring or picnic table. Thanks in advance for your help! PS if you could explain why you think a specific campground would be best that would be great.

My preference is north pines with a site next to the river if your RVing it. Camp 4 if tenting. All the camp grounds in the valley are good basically they have a tram that takes you to all the trail heads and visitor sites. I do recommend you go with someone the experience is so much better shared.
