Better check past opening dates which can be found on several sites, including Cal Trans mountain pass closures/openings, the Yosemite NP website and also one of the Mono Lake sites.

I find that anywhere outside of the Valley is much less crowded. Though probably more crowded than areas to the East, the northwest portion of Yosemite is also much less crowded, and it is closer to the Valley. I've done some camping along Evergreen Road. There are great hikes around Cherry and Eleanor Lakes and Hetch Hetchy. I also highly recommend Young Lakes. Here's a photo I took of one of the Young Lakes: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23329832@N04/2253842108/ This is good advice. I find that anywhere outside of the Valley is much less crowded.

I was just looking into them for our father/Daughter trip we take each August. Which are your favorite campgrounds? Thanks, Great post,
