Here's a quick review of one of the Yosemite valley floor campgrounds. There's definitely a different type experience more generators and fires..
Of the three campgrounds in the valley, Upper is definitely the "mega-campground"; I avoid staying there. We have our favorite sites in North and Lower Pines, generally near or on their perimeters. We also avoid weekends and the summer months -- crazy crowd times.
crazy indeed..we we're there the first week in May.. made our reservations 2 1/2 months in advance.. When we got there every campsite was full - it was a lottery system for those who didn't have reservations..
