Default Yosemite higher elevation campgrounds- Crane Flat and White Wolf

Most people want to camp in Yosemite in the valley at 4000 foot. But during the warm summer days it is a lot cooler at the higher elevation campgrounds.

The first campground called Crane Flat requires reservations in summer. Elevation 6000 foot. Restroom with flush toilets, dishwashing water disposal and tap water for drinking, campfires ok, bear box. No showers or dump site here though. About a 20 minute drive to Yosemite Valley. Nearly 10 degrees cooler than the valley.

White wolf is another campground that doesn't take reservations so if you avoid arriving on the weekend you should be able to find a nice spot.

First two pictures from Crane Flat. Note convenient restrooms in background and bear box in second photo.
Next Picture from a the nearby meadow.
Fourth picture is the Merced River with El Capitan (famous climbing rock at least 2000 foot high)
Fifth picture is at 8000 foot level- White Wolf campground, pleasant 70's in the daytime while Yosemite Valley is in the 90's during August.
