Yosemite 5
Yosemite 5 has no deck, just a large open bowl of level ground and straw. It’s one of the three largest sites on the mountain. Very large trees stand around about two thirds of it, and the bowl opens out on the rest. It has the shortest walk to Gleason, the community rendezvous spot between sites 4 and 5, where there’s WiFi. It feels private, though you can see the full-time camper trailer at site 4 from here in the distance. The approach is easy and the ground is open, so it is one of the three that take a full-size van with room to turn.
