AutoCamp Yosemite

10/10 Excellent
"Honestly a complete surprise. The listing in Hotels.com didn’t really do it justice and the location from the park entrance to Yosemite looked far. It’s actually amazing this place. Proper glamping. The airstreams are fantastic. So well fitted out with a private patio and fire pit. The club house is super elevated with a great store and bar kitchen. Super Americana vibe and indoor outdoor fire pit and late night pool and small lake and wildlife all adds to it. We bought logs and fire kit a s’mores kit and some drinks sat at our airstream and had the real experience. Ordered a pizza and snacks and in the morning had a nice breakfast burrito. Really good value and didn’t feel priced out at all. They even told us about some nice grocery stores near by. Was a group s’mores night being held. I saw a yoga class advertised. The bed and bathroom in the airstream were great. I couldn’t recommend enough."

RIVER VIEW Yosemite Cabin in Wawona among the Redwoods,3 Bed 2 bath, jump rock!

8/10 Good
"Great place to stay within the confines of the park with a 35-40 minute drive to the valley and no need to wait in line at a park gate each time you want to explore the park. The backyard jumping rock was a HUGE hit with the kids and a great little swimming hole for everyone right behind the house which is great during high temps. Host was super responsive anytime we had a question. Place was clean and had everything we needed although could use some upgrades (drinkware, patio furniture cushions). There is also a general store within walking distance which has just about anything you might need including frozen dinners and beer/wine. Everyone at the store is friendly and helpful with info. They even let us borrow a cooler for one of our park excursions. One note on accommodations: the bunk room says it sleeps 5; It’s two sets of bunk beds and a 5th mattress that slides out from under one of the bunks. Worked fine for us just so people are aware it is technically not 5 “beds” per se. No AC, but several fans and with windows open it tends to get cool enough at night for sleeping."
