Yosemite over Thanksgiving weekend?
Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2007 11:07 am
The family wants to camp in Yosemite over Thanksgiving. I've been avoiding that place for a long time due to the crowds and I know nothing about the area.
If any of you have some knowledge I'd appreciate knowing...
How are the crowds during thanksgiving?
What are the chances of getting a spot in one of the campgrounds? It'll be cold so there has to be some available, right?
Which campgrounds offer the best privacy and/or access to trail heads? Looking at the YOSE NP website it seems like "Camp 4" could be good because RV aren't allowed. I'd really like to avoid RVs.
Should we try to camp in the valley or someplace else? The kids would mostly be into watching wildlife. Are there any locations where we would have a better chance at seeing deer, etc.?
Am I crazy for even thinking about going there around Thanksgiving?
Thanks much!
