I've been to Yose and GC many times - and it would take a lifetime for me to get a fill of either of them.
First - Yosemite is THE national park. It's about 150 miles closer for an easier trip, and is fantastic in every way. Very young kids like yours will enjoy the rivers, deer and waterfalls more than the big views at GC. If you are a reader, check out John Muir's First Summer in the Sierra, or the shorter The Yosemite.
Second - there are full hookup campgrounds in the west side of Yosemite - but don't underestimate the long drive in to the valley. PITA.
Finally - consider working out the full hookup situation. Your rig is designed to be fully self contained even without hookups. You will miss out on a lot if you have to have hookups wherever you go.
