Wawona Hotel

California’s most visited park offers a variety of different accommodation options, both inside of, and just outside of the park. It’s often hard to get reservations inside of the park unless you book super far in advance, so if you aren’t one of those lucky ones, don’t worry, there are lots of really incredible spots within a short drive to the park entrance. This List showcases our favorite places to stay both in and near the park for every type of traveler - whether you’re looking for luxury, backcountry camping, or somewhere between 🏕

Yosemite National Park is my favorite national park of all time and one of the most iconic parks in the world. Yosemite is known for the famous Tunnel View, Bridalveil Fall and the granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome. And don't get me wrong, those places are amazing, but there is SO much more to this park that often gets overlooked. Don't do what everyone else is doing — travel to parts of the park that are less explored! I've been to Yosemite 10+ times and this guide holds map pins and information for all of my favorite hikes, camp spots, hotels, and best places to explore in Yosemite. Use it to craft one big trip, or multiple small trips and choose your own adventure! I've included both the iconic places you have to see (especially if it is your first visit to Yosemite) and also the less touristy spots that you don't want to miss. Things that are covered: - Entrances and details around which entrance to use - Where to stay (hotels, campgrounds, and surrounding town information) - Hike recommendations - Things to see This is a living map, meaning that every time I return to Yosemite and do something new (which is often), I'll add to it, and you'll get all of the updates automatically! If you find this information helpful, any tips are appreciated for my work.
