I plan on staying at the walk campground(Sunnyside) but in case it's full anyone know of another spot as close to Yosemite Valley as possible?

Thanks, appreciate the help. I'm leaving today but the Iphone sure comes in handy.

Steve,

Call the NP Reservation system at 1-877-444-6777 for Yosemite campgrounds: Upper Pines, Lower Pines and North Pines. They're booked, but you might catch a cancellation. Just outside the park in El Portal is Indian Flats Campground. You can call 209-379-2339.

Have fun!

As Lon said, keep checking for cancellations. They have a lot of them within a week scheduled visits.

Thanks guys, never knew but I touch the phone#'s you left n the phone dials it, so cool.

Fyi: Reserve America does not take same day reservations and either does the Yosemite website. The Yosemite website did take same day reservations before and it was an easy way to save some money from just walking in.

Lon, I did stay at the Indian Flat campground and managed to get the last site at 1030pm.
