quiet??Tuolumne Meadows closest campground or elsewhere?

Frankly, I'd think staying anywhere in Yosemite would be impossible without long ago made reservations. If Tuolumne Meadows is your prime target, I would look at the eastern side of the 120 pass. There appears to be a number of campgrounds on that side that are outside the park, but relatively close to Tuolumne Meadows.
