Appendix B

Hotels, Lodges, Motels, and Resorts

Lodging within Yosemite National Park is quite limited. In Yosemite Valley there is a collection of accommodation options managed by the concessionaire Aramark. These range from the exquisite—the Majestic Yosemite Hotel (formerly the Ahwahnee Hotel)—to quite simple options, like Housekeeping Camp. There are also a number of private accommodations in Yosemite West, inholdings within the park just west of the Wawona Road, near the Glacier Point Road junction. Once outside the national park boundaries there are, not surprisingly, endless choices. The list below and the map show the names of the surrounding communities, and an online search will yield the names of hotels, motels, and bed-and-breakfasts accompanied by travelers’ latest reviews. Note that, among the options, the farther-afield options—Oakhurst, Mariposa, Mammoth Lakes—have the largest range but of course enormously increase your driving time to Yosemite trailheads.
