Firstly, it's a really affordable option in Yosemite where the hotels and lodges are pretty pricey. It's also a great place to be based if you are planning to hike. There are lots of hikes that can easily be reached on foot from the camp so you don't need to drive to a trail head to start your walk. (We recommend Four Mile Trail up to Glacier Point and the Panorama Trail back down.) The beds are actually really comfortable and, considering the conditions, the camps are very clean. The bedding is clean and comfortable and we slept really well. There are lots of toilet blocks which meant you didn't have to go far to use the restrooms, brush your teeth, etc. The showers are totally fine - again better than I expected. Nice and hot. This is all the practical stuff, but I would also recommend staying there as it was really fun! There's a great atmosphere and lots of people around, especially if you go during the holidays or at the weekend. We built a fire (they have all the supplies you need in their on-site store) and did a BBQ. It's really fun to sit under the stars by the fire drinking G&Ts from camping mugs! Tips: go prepared if you can (camping gear, food, etc). Bring lots of sanitising wipes for the picnic table. It gets really dirty from all the fires. ##### Jemima ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 9 Sept 2016 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Nice camping experience while travelling The park was excellent and was simple but effective. However for the price I would assume that the toilet facilities would be kept clean throughout the stay. The staff were very busy however this does not excuse them being rude and unhelpful. As an international traveler, they could have been more understanding and more helpful. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### David, UK 26 Aug 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The location is good but tent dirty. Well located in Yosemite valley. It is however a basic tent which was dirty. There were strict rules about bear boxes and fires which were demanded of you-treated like a child. It was pretty much as described but dirtier than expected. We reserved a cot as did the person behind us and yet did not show up on their system. Not their problem! We could prove it however this didn't make a difference. Their solution was to share a single bed. In the end a mattress on the dirty, dusty floor was best we could get. Bunk beds unsafe with no rails-our 14y old fell out! Not helpful and brusk. Confrontational. Ran out of linen and cots. Towels rough and had to fetch-not at shower block. Fire wood etc expensive. ##### David ### 8/10 Good #### Penny 27 Jun 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### My kind of "camping" This is camping, not a hotel. Camping with beds is such an upgrade from the hard ground or even air mattresses. Hot showers, plenty of toilet facilities, electricity, very friendly staff, and then being surrounded by the magnificence of Yosemite -- what more could anyone ask for?! ##### Penny ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 21 May 2016 #### Zweckmäßig Man kann das Yosemite Village zu Fuß erreichen. Die Hütte/Zelt ist sehr einfach aber mehr hat man ja auch nicht erwartet. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 13 May 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Housekeeping Camp is a great spot for enjoying Yosemite at a reasonable rate without having to bring your own camping equipment. The shop has everything you need at good prices and the showers are warm. Pleasantly surprised and we enjoyed ourselves. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 17 Oct 2015 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Beter than expected We had never stayed in housekeeping camp. It was a great place, and central to many great things in the valley. My family and I can't wait to.return. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 17 Oct 2015 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Humble cabin but absolutely okay. We are outdoor people :-) ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 26 Sept 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Slechte service, onvriendelijk personeel en we moesten zelfs het beddengoed huren. Op zich niet zo erg, ware het niet dat dit niet bij inchecken werd vermeld en wij hier pas later achterkwamen, ook met douchen was er niemand aanwezig voor het aanleveren van een handdoek. En zo waren er nog meer kleine dingen die niet vermeld waren en extra kosten met zich meebrachten. Jammer. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Norbert, Nürnberg 3 Sept 2015 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Licht und Schatten im herrlichen Yosemite Gewöhnungsbedürftig. Nach Pest-Warnung!!! durch aufdringliche Hörnchen nerven die beschaulichen Nager doch sehr. An sich cool, am schönsten mit Feuer am Abend vorm Zelt und grillen. Umgebung Hammer! - Keine Mücken! Betten sehr abgewohnt und weich... ##### Norbert ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter, London 14 Aug 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort In the heart of Yosemite fantastic place ##### Peter ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 11 Aug 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 요세미티 공원의 중심 여기는 캠핑장입니다. 캠핑장비를 가져가신다면 추천해드립니다. 약간 오래되어 보이고 투박해 보일 수도 있지만 적당히 갖출 것은 다 갖췄습니다. 그리고 캠핑장이면서 타월이 무료로 제공됩니다. 공동 세탁실/샤워실이 있고, 화장실도 적당하게 있습니다. 매점도 저녁까지 운영됩니다. 필요한 물품들 (베개, 이불, 스토브 등)을 빌려 사용할 수 있습니다. 요세미티 공원의 중심에서 자연과 함께 지내기 참 좋은 곳이라고 생각됩니다. 다만 곰을 조심하세요. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### HELENE 3 Aug 2015 Disliked: Room comfort ##### HELENE ### 8/10 Good #### Eve, Bordeaux 1 Aug 2015 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Super cadre? Un cadre superbe au bord de la rivière (pour ceux qui ont une tente à cet emplacement). Possibilité de louer sur places serviettes de toilette, draps, coussins et couvertures. Par contre, début juillet attention, les nuits sont encore très fraîches et la couverture louée très nettement insuffisante. ##### Eve ### 2/10 Terrible #### ODILE, Montpellier 28 Jul 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Horrible !!! Nous avion hésité à réserver au Housekeeping camp compte tenu des avis très partagés mais finalement, nous nous sommes décidés pour vivre une expérience unique, en pleine nature. Si c'est ce que vous recherchez, alors n'y allez surtout pas. En dehors de l'accueil sympathique, cet endroit est un cauchemar. Les tentes sont minuscules, très sales, tout comme les sanitaires, les unes sur les autres. Nous n'avons trouvé aucun charme à cet endroit et nous avons choisi d'écourter notre séjour initialement prévu pour 2 nuits. ##### ODILE ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kenneth Brink, København 26 Jul 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### tæt på yosemite Familie besøg i Yosemite hvor vi gerne ville prøve at være rigtig tæt på parken. Housekeeping ligger perfekt til det, lige i valleyen med alle de forskellige seværdigheder inde for gå afstand. men det man ser på værelseret er det man får, man har hurtigt slæbt en masse ford ind omkring sengen. Ellers skal det nævnes at det bliver pænt koldt i løbet af natten, så husk varmt tøj. Det selv om det er i sommerferien , hvor vi havde op til 30 grader om dagen, men nok 15 om natten. overall ikke det store luksus, men nok en af de ophold vi vil kunne huske længst og snakke mest om. ##### Kenneth Brink ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Jul 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### We had a great experience. We had a great experience. My kids love it. They call it tent house. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Sam 14 Jul 2015 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Well equipped tent This is a 'tent' in the woods so unlikely to be really clean or luxurious, but for campers it is well equipped and very easy. Parking almost beside your tent (3 concrete walls and 1 of canvas, also canvas roof) so moving your gear in is easy. Also one electric light inside sleeping area and one in outdoor eating area, where prep table and picnic table also provided. Additional sockets too so some neighbors had extra lights, coffee machines, mini fridges - goodness knows what else?! Bed packs available at check in to rent were clean and perfectly acceptable for the cooler nights. Bear locker immediately beside tent made for easy access to food and toiletries when needed. Each unit had a firepit too. Squirrels a bit annoying (but easily dissuaded) and more of a problem than bears. Water and toilets/sinks available for every few units, showers block at entrance to camp required a little queuing, but were fine. Lovely setting in the trees and near to safe swimming / playing section of the river with 'beach' area too. At times neighbours were a little noisy, but that can happen anywhere. For true campers it may feel a little like a holiday park, but due to fellow 'residents' and all their kit, not the facilities or location. Great base for access to valley floor shuttle buses and exploring further afield within Yosemite. ##### Sam ### 6/10 Okay #### Laura 9 Jul 2015 Disliked: Room comfort ##### Laura ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Jul 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Awesome camping time! Breathtaking view and awesome camping! We were able yo make a fire and cook. There is a lot of privacy too. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Leila 2 Jul 2015 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort Basic accommodations but spectacular view and perfect location. ##### Leila ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 2 Jul 2015 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 25 Jun 2015 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful spot in the Valley, but... Gorgeous spot right on the river. I realize it is camping but the tarp over our tent was black with mold and there was a lot of black mold in the caulking in the barhroom. For $125 night I expected a little cleaner facilities. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 7 Jun 2015 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### eine abenteuerliche Übernachtung super Lage, mitten im Park, aber sehr rustikal von der Ausstattung und sehr kalt in der Nacht, die dünnen Decken haben nicht ausgereicht ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Tyson 21 May 2015 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great "camping" experience in Yosemite with kids! I mean...it is camping, so expect to get dirty. We brought our three kids, and had a blast. This is definitely the way to stay when coming to Yosemite. We plan to stay here again for sure. Only complaint was that due to recent rain, the firewood we bought from the little on site store was wet and didn't burn very well (and yes, I know how to start a fire!) ##### Tyson ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cedar Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Cedar-Lodge.h889912.Hotel-Information) > > [The Social Hub Florence Lavagnini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-The-Social-Hub-Florence-Lavagnini.h23198289.Hotel-Information) > > [19 Rooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Valletta-Hotels-19-Rooms.h19771178.Hotel-Information) > > [Ragged Point Inn and Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Simeon-Hotels-Ragged-Point-Inn-And-Resort.h10104659.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express London Gatwick - Crawley by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crawley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-London-Gatwick-Crawley.h434212.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in United Kingdom](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-United-Kingdom.d190.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hotels with Babysitting Services in Thailand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Thailand-Hotel-With-Babysitting-Services.0-0-d178-thotelwithbabysittingservices.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Ranch at Death Valley – Inside the Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Death-Valley-Hotels-The-Ranch-At-Death-Valley-Inside-The-Park.h893189.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsis Rinela](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mitsis-Rinela-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2335564.Hotel-Information) > > [Kumara Serenoa by Lopesan Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Bartolome-De-Tirajana-Hotels-Kumara-Serenoa-By-Lopesan-Hotels.h2774449.Hotel-Information) > > [The Inn at Death Valley – Inside the Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Death-Valley-Hotels-The-Inn-At-Death-Valley-Inside-The-Park.h893179.Hotel-Information) > > [Wawona Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-Wawona-Hotel.h19707243.Hotel-Information) > > [Romantic Hotels in Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Romantic-Hotel.0-0-d6069845-tRomanticHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Crumlin (BFS) to Chester (CEG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bfs/ceg/belfast-to-chester) > > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Granadilla de Abona (TFS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/tfs/glasgow-to-tenerife) > > [flights from galway airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/gwy/flights-from-galway-airport) > > [Flights from Kota Kinabalu (BKI) to Sandakan (SDK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bki/sdk/kota-kinabalu-to-sandakan) ### Cars > [Budget Destinations In Canada](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budget-Destinations-In-Canada.d31-c39.Car-Rental-Destination-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Ullapool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Ullapool.d4318.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Preko](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Preko.d6337223.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Łódź](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Lodz.d4342.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Argentina Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Argentina.d8.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [BT Tower](https://www.expedia.co.uk/BT-Tower-London-City-Centre.d6078969.Attraction) > > [Grand Theatre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grand-Theatre-Castle.d6086361.Attraction) > > [Isle of Anglesey Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Anglesey.d7873.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals > [Cayman Islands Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Cayman-Islands.d33.Holiday-Rental-Destinations) ### General > [Visit United Kingdom](https://www.expedia.co.uk/United-Kingdom.dx190) > > [Visit Stratton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratton.dx6050314)
