Well, i went ahead and posted a poll anywho. It's got the basic choices, and we can hash out details later.

Group campsites are only $40/day? That beats the heck out of paying for 4 or 5 individual sites!

Yep. Even if only 10 people showed, it's a hell of a lot cheaper.

That's cause, in my experience (admittedly limited to a few National Parks), Group Campsites are absolutely lame.

I can send a fax inquiry to the Kings Canyon group sites. If avaible we'd at least have a plan B should we be unable to get enough sites in Yosemite.

Disneyland's picnic area?

innerSpaceman · 02-15-2008, 11:15 AM

Nope ... not since they blocked access from DTD. Pfft.

Actually, they swapped the blocked entrances. You now do not need to go through security to get into the picnic area (but you, for obvious reasons, cannot go out the other side).

Sounds like someone is working on King's Canyon. But weren't there some group sites somewhere just outside Yosemite that were being talked about? I remember something about lots of shade and flat ground being mentioned.

Alternatively, we could come closer to home this year, maybe something within easy drive distance?

The remaining Yosemite Group camps are way too far from the action, and - since booking is allowed one year in advance - are likely full-up.

In a nutshell, the remaining options are (more details in the other camping thread):

a) First-Come, First-Served at Sheep Creek campground in King's Canyon

b) First-Come, First-Served at White Wolf campground, 10 minutes outside Yosemite Valley

c) Group Campground reservation at King's Canyon.
