We are camped just outside the entrance to Yosemite National Park. Most of the forest service campgrounds are closed and gated for the season or too expensive for our budget. Our site is a small pull out a few miles into the National Forest, on a back road along a beautiful little stream. There is even a little dippin\u2019 spot where we took a little dip! A single vehicle has passed by while we are setting up, probably bummed because we found this spot first (dispersed camping in National Forests is quite popular, free, and an under used resource allowable because of our hard earned tax dollars).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found this site the same way we usually do; we had the Plan \u2018B\u2019. The plan B is were we spot a couple of, just OK, potential campsites on the way in. This massively takes the pressure off of us to find the right spot for the night. We then can relax and push on to the perfect spot for the night! Like here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Definitely a great camping spot. No traffic, lots of trees and a beautiful, chilly, stream for dipping. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Plan ‘B’ – An overflow parking lot at a closed USFS Campground. Not a bad spot as it is well off the beaten track, very quiet and a short walk to the lake…but<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A few miles up the hill and we have a gorgeous view of the lake.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Plan B – Hot, dusty and too near a road….but <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A few miles away and we wake up to this in a fairly quiet spot on a gorgeous lake.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
