Goat Meadow Trailhead and Snowplay Area
Camp Review:
The camp was half way full and it was decently quiet, until the generators started going off on two RVs.
Having said that, because I know this is a legally legit place to sleep for the night, I feel lucky that I found this place on freecampsites.net.
The spot I ended up parking in was flat and decently private.
The single portable toilet was one of the cleanest ones I’ve ever seen.
What Happened?
I wanted to camp close to Yosemite and found this parking lot right outside the Yosemite southern entrance. Because I wanted to start hiking around 4:30am, this meant that sleeping at this spot would mean I could wake up at 3am, compared to driving at 12:30am from San Jose.
