This is one of the most beautiful places I have camped. We have stayed here in a RV and a tent. Tuolumne Meadows is a little removed from the hustle and bustle of the Yosemite Valley area but worth the stay. The sites are booked online but assigned by the ranger when you arrive. Try to get one by Tuolumne River. No hookups is the only negative thing I can say but if you stay at National Parks often then you are used to this. There are many great hiking trails across from the camping area to Lembert Dome and Dog Lake.
