Have you been wondering where your family should stay when visiting Yosemite National Park? Ranging from rustic campsites to luxury lodges, here are the 13 best accommodation options that’ll keep the whole family happy!

If you’re planning a trip to this place of next-level natural beauty, you’ll need to figure out where to stay when visiting Yosemite National Park. And whether you’re a serial glamper or prefer the finer things in life, I’ve got you covered.

Yosemite Valley Lodge

Just 5 minutes from Yosemite Falls, Yosemite Valley Lodge is one of the most centrally located and convenient lodging options in the park. While most of the 245 rooms are typical hotel room style (2 double beds) they also two other room types, family King Rooms, and Bunk Rooms.

Curry Village

It combines classic canvas-tent camping with wood cabins and old-school hotel rooms. It’s also right in the heart of Yosemite Valley and is within walking distance of Half Dome and Glacier Point (a huge selling point!).

02.

Housekeeping Camp

Housekeeping Camp is one of my go-to recommendations for where to stay when visiting Yosemite National Park if you love camping. It’s a little worn down these days, but it’s affordable and you don’t need to pitch a tent!

The Ahwahnee Hotel

The Ahwahnee underwent a very expensive refurbishment in early 2023 and is the perfect place for families who prefer a luxury hotel. Seriously, the dark wood, stone fireplaces, and enormous dining hall will blow you away!

05.

Wawona Hotel

It’s around 40 minutes to the center of Yosemite Valley, so I recommend it if your family will be in Yosemite for a slightly longer stay (more than 3 nights).

06.

White Wolf Lodge

White Wolf Lodge is a no-frills seasonal wilderness lodge that takes things back to basics. It’s super remote, and you’ll spot pine trees and wildflower meadows from virtually every angle (AKA: it’s gorgeous!).
