I was hoping to go up to the Tuolumne Meadows area for a few days in late May (I'm assuming the pass will open early this year), and I was wondering about camping up there. I know the campground in the area is closed, and I'm assuming Saddlebag Lake Campground won't open for a few weeks after the pass opens, so I'm not sure what the best spot to camp would be. I'd prefer to camp close by, and it'd also be nice to camp at elevation if that's possible. Any ideas?

Theres a few campsites further down 120, before hitting 395. Probably at 7-8k'

Ahh sweet, do you think they'd be open before Memorial Day?
