Note: Closest fuel is at the Crane Flats intersection.
 
In addition to the small market at Crane Flat fuel station, there are two markets in Yosemite Valley.  They are, Curry Village and Yosemite Village.  The Yosemite Village Market is the larger of the two markets.
 
Most cell carriers do not have service from the campground. 
 
There is a variety of lodging in Yosemite National Park including The Ahwahnee, Yosemite Lodge, Housekeeping, Tuolumne Meadows Lodge, White Wolf Lodge, Wawona, and Curry Village.  Curry Village has canvas tent cabins.  Housekeeping is similar to Curry Village.  
 
WiFi is available for purchase at Yosemite Lodge and The Ahwahnee Lodge.  It's also available for free at Curry Village however, there are so many users the network seldom works.
 
Caution: Wherever you stay in Yosemite, watch out for the bears.  They can be found in every campground, every night.  Bears are very stealthy and can be just feet away without you knowing it.  Don't leave food out and don't leave food or gum in your car.  The gum smell attracts them and they will open your car like a can opener.
 
Roads:
Yosemite National Park is open all year however, some roads and campgrounds do close.  There are four entrances into the park.  Each entrance has a unique name.  They are, the South Entrance(on Wawona road and Highway 41), Arch Rock Entrance(highway 140 from the West), Big Oak Flat Entrance( From the West on highway 120), and the Tioga Pass Entrance (From the East on Highway 120).  Most roads in Yosemite are challenging for larger RV's.  The lanes are small, winding, and there are overhangs in spots.  The Tioga Pass entrance is the most difficult with a steep assent into the park followed by rough roads.  For RV's there are numerous pull-outs to allow traffic to pass.
