Enthusiast I
Hey Y'all,
Looking for some help here and would appreciate any insight and support. Every year I plan a dudes trip for my sons, I have 4 and when they turn 12 they get to join the "Dudes trip". We talk about dude stuff, like how to become a good young man then a man of their own one day. It's a blast and I'm a huge advocate for this type of things to help our boys grow up learning basics like respect, honor, integrity, love, etc. Anyway, off topic a bit but the back story helps paint the whole story why these trips are important to me.
We started small and went to Moab before I got in to Overlanding. And it was amazing! Last year we added my 12 year old and stayed local in Flagstaff but we camped in a tent. This year I wanted to take them to Yosemite because my father took me there a couple of years before he passed, I was 7. Haven't been back since so I thought it would be cool to take them there and start our own memories there. Being super new to all this I could use some help in some ideas on where to go. We would be coming from AZ on Saturday 5/25 and heading back home on Friday 5/31. I'm not against a traditional campground at all, however would love to give them something cool and stay somewhere a little more primitive but still be able to get to the park relatively easily. (I've been looking all night for campsites and all seem to be reserved at this point, my mistake for waiting too long)
I have a Jeep built out and a Turtleback trailer so living off the grid wouldn't be a problem.
Would appreciate some guidance on places to look at, routes to consider, or alternatives if there's somewhere else we should consider going!
This is my "Dudes Trip" crew!
