Planned out a trip with reservations for months but due to fires and hurricanes our reservations were null and void. We were able to score one night a Tuolumne and for the next three just head to the ranger station in the am and request to stay. We stayed in mid September, very cold nights, but doable with proper tent, cot, insulated pad and sleeping bag this Florida girl survived. Loved this campground, no crowds like the Valley, and beauty everywhere you look. Perfect place to camp to check out both Lake Mono & the Valley. The Tuolumne Meadows store has an attached quick serve restaurant that was a blessing for coffee and breakfast, food was excellent.
