I'll be driving a 35-foot motorhome from Lake Tahoe via Lee Vining (going around the forest fire if needed), planning to enter Yosemite via the Tioga Pass and exiting at Mariposa/Oakhurst.
I was able to secure a Day Pass reservation for the park, but it's for the last day of my vacation, so I'll be able to use only the first of three days. So to make the most of it, I'd like to start driving at sunrise and enter the park as early in the day as possible.
I've been researching all the campgrounds near the Tioga Pass entrance and they all seem to have a max length of 30' and/or they do not accept reservations.
So my question for you folks with some "street smarts" and experience in the Tioga Pass - Lee Vining corridor, what's the best plan here if my goal is to overnight as close as possible to the park entrance?
RV is fully self-contained so I'm open to boondocking, BLM, rest areas, etc.
My park reservation is for a Saturday, so arriving anywhere on Friday night without a reservation is going to be rough.
