I was at Yosemite NP and Sequoia NP July 2017. I did not have reservations and it was difficult to find open sites.
I found place at the Mariposa fairgrounds while visiting Yosemite. It was a large grassy field with campsites on the perimeter. They had water and 30 amp service. @$35.00 /night.
WARNING Do Not attempt to take a large camper into Yosemite on hwy 140 from mariposa. There is $270 fine for attempting to take anything that?s overall length of exceeds 50 feet(including tow vehicle). There are 2 long 1 way bridges with sharp turns at the ends plus a narrow one way section of road that you will have to cross. It bypasses a large land slide along side the river.
The drive from mariposa to Yosemite on hwy 140 at the time gave me a new meaning to the word ?Canyons?. The route was as crooked as a snake, But it was awesome to see.
As far as Sequoia NP I was lucky to get a site at Sequoia RV park in three rivers 30 amp service again. Temperature was in the 90?sduring the day.
Cooler on top in the park. I thought hwy 140 in Yoesmite was curvy but it didn?t hold a candle to the hwy 198 ?the Generals Hwy? it was either a curve or a hairpin curve about every 30 feet. It straightens out a lot on top.
