Yosemite Valley Camping after Flood???

Question

We have reservations for Lower Pines CG coming up in a week.  Has anyone been there since the flood earlier this month?  Video on the web makes it look like a lot of the walking/bike paths will have a lot of mud and the CG's will have water still draining.  Read there could be up to a 3 hour delay getting to the CG.

Floods are almost an annual event, indeed the parks does not do reservations on some sites since they expect them to be flooded. The CG is right on the river. After it becomes obvious that they are past the usual flood period then they let them be reserved. We picked up an extra three days in the valley when they opened up reservations on those sites when we were there. So they are used to dealing with some flooding anyway.

Here's the YouTube of it. Call the park at 209-372-0200 for up-to-date information... probably a recording. They work hard at getting everything up and running again.
