Anyone camped in Yosemite ?

[buryboy]

So in very early planning days
Trying to manage a budget
Even the fixed tents at Curry Village are $200 a night ! ( August)

Has anyone successfully booked a tent using here at 7am Pacific time on the relevant 15th of the month ? $26 a night and buying a tent over there seems more feasible

Or managed to get a ' camping without a reservation ' spot like here , on the day ?
