Yosemite’s largest campground, Tuolumne Meadows, shutters for years-long rehabilitation work

Plus two more CG's. https://www.sfgate.com/california-parks/article/Yosemite-largest-campground-Tuolumne-Meadows-close-16626629.php

That's going to make actually getting a site like winning the lottery.

Toulomne Meadows was drive in only in the sense of car campers or maybe vans. We did get a small popup in years ago but it took some maneuvering. All those bolders

 

Those closures will make camping in Yosemite even harder to do. We won a week at Coarsegold at the Escapade tho and are hopefully all set if they can keep from burning the state down again next year.

Have not been there since maybe summer 1979. As I recall one could drive into any campground and find a site without a reservation. At least I recall that is what we did. A group of sailors on liberty from Mare Island NS with a pop up camper from MWR stayed at a campground in the valley. Swimming in the Toulomne  River was great. Very cold, crystal clear and boulders everywhere. I have heard that in the following years it has become a parking lot. Recall a few years ago reading about the vehicle smog in the valley. How true Robert Blake, "You can never go home".
