Yosemite high sierra camps

What could be better than hiking in the wilderness to a remote campsite by a waterfall? Only having the remote campsite equipped with beds, a dining hall and cheerful staff serving excellent food. (But way too much.)

We missed the high camp lottery this year, but were still able to find spots almost matching what we had wanted. May Lake camp is a short hike in from the trailhead, across the lake from Mt. Hoffman. Glen Aulin is an 8+ mile march downhill from there to the Tuolumne river. We had a one day layover at Glen Aulin and used it to hike down to Water Wheel falls. We didn't make it there, out of an abundance of caution about how the hike back would be for the girls, but the earlier falls - California and LeConte were pretty nice anyway.
