So I’m assuming there is no overnight backpacker camping near Tuolumne Meadows?

Correct, not as long as the TM campground is closed. Closest in-park backpacker campground is White Wolf, but that’s still 25 miles from TM and would require a hitch or ride to/from TM (or - possibly - I think the YARTS-Mammoth route stops at White Wolf and TM?).

Nearest is 4 miles (on the PCT/JMT or any other trail stemming from TM) from TM until their construction work is done.? You can't camp alongside the trail unless it's at least 4 miles from a car camping ground (odd they consider a closed campground still an operative campground).

They probably don't want people creating new campsites within the 4 mile limit while it's closed. It'd be nice if they could close just part of the campground one year and the other half the next year, but from the look of it, this is a pretty major reconstruction. Since one of my backup treks this year is a NOBO JMT hike,? I will probably have to camp 4 miles from TM in Lyell Canyon, then hike all the way to Cathedral Lakes the next day.

That’ll be a popular route this year! Cathedral Lakes will be crowded, and “Lyell Four Mile” will be crowded.

Yes it will. My wife is a new thru hiker. So we are taking it easy. We are going to Clouds rest and staying at Sunset Lakes. Then we will have an extremely short day to Cathedral Lakes because I don’t think we can make it to 4 miles past TM in one day without really hurting which is fine but I expect a bottleneck there.?

Think about Lower Cathedral Lake. Though fewer campsites there, fewer people will go there, I assume, and I prefer Lower to Upper in any case.
