Yosemite National Park campgrounds
Planning on visiting Yosemite in early August. If we can't get reservations in any of the parks campgrounds can anyone suggest alternative campgrounds. Thanks Tara

Campgrounds inside the park:
First half of August go on sale on March 15th.
Second half of August go on sale on April 15th.
North Pines is the only campground that uses the lottery system.

There are not a lot of campgrounds/RV parks close to Yosemite Valley. Any of them would probably be an hour or more away.
Here are the options inside the park: https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/campgrounds.htm
I did luck out and got a three night reservation in May in Upper Pines! Campsites will sell out in minutes.
But the campground that I'm using the night before we go into Yosemite is two hour drive away.
