    Cabins at Mono Hot Springs provide rustic accommodations with access to natural hot springs and outdoor recreation opportunities. The property features cabins situated in a high mountain setting at 6,500 feet elevation with views of nearby forests and the San Joaquin River. Most cabins include basic furnishings with varying levels of amenities, though electricity is available. Visitors can access multiple hot springs pools located near the property, with some requiring short hikes across the river. "This place is amazing! There are hiking trails to lakes, meadows and hot springs run directly off of the campground," according to feedback on The Dyrt.

    Rustic cabin rentals can also be found at Dinkey Creek, Wishon Village RV Resort, and Bass Lake locations. The Forks Resort offers cabin-only accommodations without RV or tent camping options. Most properties operate seasonally, with Dinkey Creek open from Memorial Day weekend to September, while Wishon Village and Mono Hot Springs close in early October. Pets are permitted at several locations including Dinkey Creek and Bass Lake resorts, though policies vary by property. A camper noted that Mono Hot Springs is "dog friendly which is huge for my wife and I since we take Teddy (our dog) everywhere with us."

    Most cabins include basic furnishings but require guests to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties - some include only basic refrigeration while others provide more complete cooking setups. Several locations feature on-site stores for purchasing essential supplies, including Dinkey Creek and Mono Hot Springs. The camp store at Mono Hot Springs stocks "a decent amount of supplies," according to visitor feedback, though selection is limited. For more extensive grocery needs, larger towns like Shaver Lake or Oakhurst have fuller shopping options, requiring advance planning due to remote mountain locations and limited road access.

      Housekeeping Camp — Yosemite National Park

      Comfy makeshift hotel in a campground

      this is the ultimate glamping. Bunk beds, electrical outlets, private patio with awning and round picnic table, even curtains for your shared sleeping quarters. Near by clean restrooms running hot water. Id recommend wearing sandals for showering. Nice open space between campsites. We had the campsites reserved months in advance next to the river. It was pretty dry the this time. Enough water to capture some great photos. In the campgrounds there were large bear lockers, and well distributed benches and fire rings. Quiet time is 10pm and they are strict about it. Cant reallly complain about yosemite though. Its just pure beauty.

      Curry Village — Yosemite National Park

      Lovely Rustic City

      aka Curry Village

      My daughters and I have now stayed in both the canvas tent/cabin and a hard-sided cabin. Both provide comfortable beds with sheets and a warm blanket on each. (If you like fluffy pillows, bring one from home.) 

      We stayed in the heated tent/cabin during a major snowfall and stayed toasty-warm. I’d give this place an extra star if we were able to boil water in the tents, so we could make our own warm food and coffee, but it’s not allowed. There are bear boxes to lock up any food you do bring. There are places in the valley to buy warm meals, but they really weren’t very good, especially for the price. 

      The showers are warm and have good water pressure. They always had clean towels available, too.

      However, Curry Village is packed with wall-to-wall people. Despite quiet hours, there seems to always be That One Guy who gets drunk, loud and obnoxious. On our last trip, That One Guy decided to yell obscenities in my daughters’ faces when they asked him politely to keep the noise down. It was 15min before quiet hours and it was obvious that most of the other guests (many with small kids) had gone to bed. Other than calling the front desk, there really wasn’t another option for “crowd control.” 

      When I camp, I do prefer remote, quiet places away from crowds, but I did appreciate the convenience of Curry Village’s location. We really were in the heart of the valley with great access to the best hikes. All in all, we enjoyed our stays.

      Curry Village — Yosemite National Park

      Waking Up to Half Dome

      We stayed here March 2022.  We booked a heated tent cabin for 4 nights.  It had 1 double bed and 2 singles, a storage tower, 1 central electric light, and 1 electrical outlet - this is not advertised, but if you tell them you have a CPAP or other medical device needing an outlet, they will let you know that there is one in the heated cabins.  It was enough to power a power strip, charge our phones, and run said CPAP (LOL).  The beds were comfy and the linens were great.  We requested additional blankets as the comforter on the bed was nylon on both sides and kept sliding off the beds.  We were given old school wool blankets and they were great!  We did adjust the heat often as it would actually get too warm.  

      As we visited in the off season, not all of the amenities were available (pool, restaurants), but it didn't bother us at all.  The guest lounge was often crowded and we only spent one evening in there.  Showers and toilets were very clean.  It was still fully booked when we went, but the grounds are quiet are people were very respectful of the park rules.  

      This was a great central location to do Yosemite.  We woke up under Half Dome every morning, did the Mist Trail, Vernal Falls trail, and Lower Yosemite Falls trail.  Doing it in the off season was awesome as the number of additional people not actually staying in the park was very small.

      Reservations are hard to come by...we reserved in January for March of the same year and got lucky.  Book through the NPS as other sites charge additional, unnecessary fees.  We also recommend packing in food.  There are bear lockers to store it.  Dining in the park is provided by Aramark and is average at best.  We took a trip outside the park to dine in a nearby city and had a wonderful dinner. 

      Overall, we would definitely stay here again and again!  It was very peaceful and comfortable.

      Curry Village — Yosemite National Park

      Location, Location, Location! But Pricey!

      Overall, the proximity to being in The Valley outweighed the negatives of our stay. 

      While pricey for what it is, it IS at the far east end of Yosemite Valley with easy access to the Mist Trail. The tent-cabins are close to each other (3-8 feet), and we were woken by our neighbors our first morning (they were checking out early, and while quiet hours were 'officially' over, it was still 0730...and since it was during the heat wave, we hadn't gotten to sleep til well after midnight).

      That said...we were expecting foam rubber mattresses on wooden plywood shelves for beds, but the bed frame, mattresses, pillows and Rumpl blankets were a nice surprise (the website stated there would be wool blankets). The towels and sheets were in need of some fabric softener though.

       It was HOT. Having camped in tent-cabins before (not Curry Village), we brought fans with us that helped cool things down in the evenings, but having fans [battery operated/ rechargeable (we had Ryobi rechargeable fans)] helped us out.

      We couldn't figure out how to make the tent-cabin canvas window 'shades' to stay open- which was necessary because we needed the ventilation - we had brought along some binder clips that we were able to jury-rig to keep the canvas flaps over the screens open,  though. 

      Showers and restrooms were adequately clean, and showers were hot…but nothing to write home about. 

      We were surprised by the trash on the grounds near the cabins (where our nearest showerhouse was)-  in fact, a zip-lock baggie sat on the ground in the same spot for the three days we were there, before I picked it up on our way out. Additionally, on the grounds of the tent-cabins, we found several nails and other hardware on the ground.

       We were also surprised by the size of Curry Village, which isn't really discussed on the website. We were in tent-cabin 749 on the far east end, which was great until we had to walk to Camp Curry and/or the parking lot. We brought a wagon to carry our gear from the car to the tent-cabin, but once again, we've done this before, and we felt really bad for the folks lugging all their stuff without the benefit of a cart. Next time we'd bring bikes to help with the longish walk (400 meters? Maybe longer?) 

      The food options were great! The pizza is fantastic, and it was nice having the ability to grab pizza/tacos/burgers as an option at the end of the day (cooking is not allowed in the camp, but we 'tailgated' with backpacking stoves and meals a couple of the days).

      Curry Village — Yosemite National Park

      Great tent cabins and facilities

      Stayed two nights here in a 2 bed tent cabin. Slept 3 of us perfectly and was somewhat heated. Meaning the heater likes to turn it self off at times cooling the tent back down before kicking back in. The bathroom and showers were great for camping showers. The is a nice lodge style place to hang out plus great pizza place on site as well. This is a perfect place for those who like to camp but not fans of tent camping in cold snowy conditions. I will definitely return!

      Indian Flat RV Park

      Great but tight

      I will start with the good. Fantastic WiFi, extremely clean bathrooms and shower rooms, excellent pool at cedar Lodge next door, short walkable distance to the YART bus stop into Yosemite, great price for a campground 8 miles from a national park entrance and easy access to a beautiful little river park across the highway. The only negative is, out of the several hundred campgrounds I have camped in over the last six years, none have even come close to how packed this place is. I was fortunate to get the best campsite in the park but across from me are 4 campers in an area no larger than some single campsites I have stayed at. The spaces don't allow for parking both your camper and your towing vehicle so you need to use the overflow parking which is outside the campground parallel to the highway. The Jupe Tents, tent cabins, and cottages are also packed just as tight as are the tent sites. I would still recommend this campground to anyone wanting to go to Yosemite though. It's definitely the closest and most convenient campground

      Muir Trail Ranch

      Most Rustic/Posh Outdoor Experience Ever!

      Backing up to the John Muir Trail all the way into the back country of the high Sierra is this Gem of a ranch. It has amazing amenities, such as cabins, tent cabins, developed hot springs, all meals included, toilets and running water, horses back tours/packing, backpacker resupply, and store. 

      Getting there however is quite a feat. First you have to traverse a one lane road nearly 30 miles back into Florence Lake. Then you have to take a boat ride to the other side of the lake, and finally you have to hike 5+ miles to the ranch. It is all worth it for the sunning views, great food, amazing fishing, hiking, and all around experience.

    Guide to Big Creek

    Cabin rentals near Big Creek, California offer mountain accommodations in a high-elevation Sierra Nevada setting. Located in Fresno County at approximately 5,000 feet elevation, these accommodations provide access to nearby lakes, rivers, and forest areas. Seasonal conditions significantly impact accessibility, with most facilities closed during winter months when snow makes roads impassable.

    What to do

    Swimming in natural pools: The Dinkey Creek area features swimming holes located about a mile from the campground. "This was my best camping experience ever. It's location had perfect weather, warm during the day and cool, but not cold, at night. You surrounded by gorgeous tall trees and have access to swimming holes about a mile away," reports a camper at Dinkey Creek.

    Fishing in mountain waters: Multiple fishing opportunities exist in the surrounding waters. At Wishon Village RV Resort, "Two reservoirs are nearby, Wishon and Courtright. Courtright at 8200' opens later than Wishon at 6600'. Rainbow and German Browns can be caught," according to one visitor.

    Hot springs exploration: Natural hot springs offer a unique thermal experience. "There are multiple NATURAL HOT SPRINGS!! There are several different pools located across the river from the campgrounds. They are all over the hillside and range in temperature from lukewarm to bath water to Hot," explains a visitor to Mono Hot Springs.

    Mountain biking and Jeep trails: Off-road enthusiasts can access mountain trails. "There are many activities available from this campground. Hiking, mountain bike riding, Jeep trails (Dusy-Ershim Trail), and fishing," notes a Wishon Village visitor.

    What campers like

    Quiet mountain environment: The remote mountain setting provides a peaceful atmosphere. "Quiet camp sites lots of trees close to Honeymoon pools area. Fishing not bad beware of bears though. All dry camping no hook ups. Little store by campsites no WiFi," mentions a camper from Dinkey Creek.

    Natural water features: Creeks, lakes and rivers are highly valued amenities. "The creek, waterfalls & rope swing over the swimming hole was unbelievable!! The kids enjoyed the rope swing while the mom enjoyed the walk back to the falls & thru the shallow waters," writes a visitor to High Sierra RV Park.

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: Native wildlife adds to the camping experience. "Pretty cold in the off season, and pretty swift for littles. Hot and isolated, bring water or a filter. No cell service, so check in on your needs around Pine Flat lake," notes a Dinkey Creek visitor regarding the seasonal conditions.

    Camp store conveniences: On-site stores provide essential supplies without leaving the camping area. "The camp host was amazing and so sweet! She even gave me some tips on where to fish," reports a visitor about the helpful staff at Mono Hot Springs.

    What you should know

    Road access challenges: Many cabin locations require navigating difficult mountain roads. "The road in was an adventure. The last 18 miles over Kaiser Pass took 1.5 hours. A sub-par road surface little bigger than one lane in many places made transit interesting," warns a Mono Hot Springs visitor about the notorious Kaiser Pass Road.

    Limited cell service: Communication technology is minimal or non-existent. "No cell service with Verizon. No hook-ups. Firewood for sale (8 pieces for $8 - don't bother and just gather)," notes a Dinkey Creek camper regarding connectivity limitations.

    Seasonal weather variations: Mountain weather changes rapidly with elevation. "With all that's gone on in 2020 the boys an I needed this trip. This camp grounds is clean an well maintained. This is our new favorite place," shares a summer visitor to Dinkey Creek.

    Insect activity: Depending on season, bees and other insects can be problematic. "There were meat bees, so make sure you bring a screen tent for cooking/eating," warns a Dinkey Creek visitor regarding the persistent yellow jackets common in late summer.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly swimming spots: Several locations offer supervised water play areas. "We had a blast here. You're 25 miles from the park entrance, on a straight path. The sites were a great space and the pool and playground was a lot of fun of the kids," shares a visitor to Yosemite RV Resort.

    Playground facilities: Some resorts provide playground equipment for children. "Large clean pool with a shallow lounging section. Playground. Bathrooms/showers were freshly renovated and clean. Laundry on site. Clubhouse and small provisions," notes a Yosemite RV Resort visitor.

    Family cabin options: Cabin rentals accommodate various family sizes. "This is our go to place for our yearly camp out. It has a spot for everyone from tent camping to cabins," explains a Mono Hot Springs camper regarding lodging flexibility.

    Educational nature opportunities: Wildlife and natural features provide learning experiences. "I grew up going to Dinkey Creek and to the Girl Scout Camp nearby. This campground is remote and secluded there are good swimming holes, fly fishing and really beautiful area," shares a long-time visitor.

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling challenges: Some RV pads require additional preparation. "Let me start off by saying there was a fairly big issue with 2 of the 3 spots we reserved. The paved lots were so far from level that we didn't have enough leveling blocks," warns a Dinkey Creek visitor about specific sites.

    Hookup availability: Full-service sites are limited in the area. "We have a 35 foot 5th wheel and the spots we like here are 37, 50-52, 38-41. We haven't stayed in any other sites so I'm not sure how they are for bigger trailers," advises a regular visitor to Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort.

    Tight maneuvering spaces: Large RVs face navigation challenges at some facilities. "Sites are very crowded. You gotta love your neighbor. Lots of amenities. Very friendly staff. So helpful and accommodating. Good access to Yosemite. We prefer less neighbors but overall it was nice," notes a High Sierra RV Park camper.

    RV size restrictions: Kaiser Pass Road limits the size of RVs that can access certain cabins. "We did take our Eurovan there, and saw a Vanagon. Mostly trucks and jeeps. Though, there were a few small 2WD cars there too," shares a Mono Hot Springs visitor regarding vehicle access limitations.
