Hogden Meadows (right at the north-west entrance to the PARK) last year 
also was first come-first save, and I think if you arrive in the 
late morning during the week, you should be able to get a site there...

Hope you will find a place to stay in crowded Yosemite, however, if you 
need a (usually) very lonely campgroud, try Freemont Peak State Park, at 
the end of a small road 'G1' off the town of San Juan Bautista, north-east 
of Monterey. No ranger station, but pay phone, water, pit toilets, and with 
almost 3000ft elevation often in, or above the clouds.

Wish you fun for GNATT's last leg!
