profdant here has an excellent trip report about camping in the winter in Yosemite. And yes, they did get snowed in.
Yosemite is absolutely amazing! And going when it's less crowded is definitely the thing to do.
Do be aware, when you are checking distances to the park, mapping software will tell you the distance to the entrance. It is a full one hour drive from the entrance to the place you want to see, Yosemite Valley.
That means that the nearest campgrounds outside the park are an hour and a half or two hours away.
Oh good tip! Hmm maybe I’ll see about staying inside the park!
