Tenaya at Yosemite

10/10 Excellent

"Great place!"

Indian Flat RV Park - Tent Cabins & Cottages

8/10 Good

"We are on a cross country road trip and saw this RV park with a “heated cabin” just outside Yosemite. Sounded charming. It is primarily an RV/Safari tent venue. Our cabin was roomy and well stocked, but it was also drafty and quite cool …even with a heater. Wi-Fi worked for tablets and phones, but not computers. Not a big deal for just one night. We would have been more comfortable in the lodge next door….if we had known."

Charming Newer Cabin In Yosemite - Close To River and Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"This place is fabulous. The kitchen is equipped with everything you can think of for cooking and there was such an abundance of bath towels. You really can’t ask for a better location. It is walking distance to the country store that stocks anything you might want or need. We absolutely loved it.."

Yosemite National Park

9.8/10 (1,681 reviews)

Yosemite National Park is one of the world’s most celebrated open spaces, forming the heart of a long strip of protected land that runs north-to-south along California’s eastern border. Imposing rock formations rise over mirror-like lakes, peaceful meadows and shady forests. Strike out on the park’s miles of hiking, ou and horse-riding trails, or head east to discover world-class skiing and snowboarding resorts. This is the American wilderness at its best – a grand landscape of granite monoliths, pine forests, crashing waterfalls and historic Gold Rush towns.
