The best time of year to visit Yosemite Creek is from June to September when the weather is pleasant and the average temperature ranges from 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and drops to around 40 degrees Fahrenheit at night. However, visitors should be aware that the campground can get busy during peak season, so it's recommended to arrive early in the morning to secure a spot.
