Yosemite National Park, California is quite possibly the most famous landmark the state has to offer. Immortalized by the comic character of Yosemite Sam and others, this park offers activities for the entire family. Adults and children alike will enjoy a trip to the park and a stay at one of the nearby accommodations. Naturally, some folks will not want to stay at the Yosemite National Park hotels but instead will want to rough it. Camping is a wonderful method of getting back to nature, and exploring the sights and sounds of the park up close and personal. For those who feel that tent camping is a bit too rough, there is always the option of taking out the recreational vehicle. Of course, depending upon the size of your rig, the very big ones will not be able to access every sight worth seeing at the park. Additionally, renting an RV can be a quite costly undertaking. The third, and perhaps most popular choice, is to stay in one of the Yosemite National Park hotels.
If you would like to stay where Ulysses S. Grant slept back in 1879, consider a visit to the historic Wawona Hotel. This national landmark hotel offers European style accommodations which simply means that restroom and shower facilities are centrally located within the complex, but not inside each room. Yet not to worry, some rooms do offer private baths! The rates themselves are not as pricey as might be assumed for a hotel located only four miles away from the park's entrance; as a matter of fact, during the peak season a room with a private bath only costs $175! Not a bad deal for one of the most famous Yosemite National Park hotels.
If a full fledged hotel is not quite to your liking or perhaps not cozy enough, consider staying at one of the bed and breakfast establishments that are located near to the park. One of the closest ones, it is located only twelve miles away from the park's entrance, is the Blackberry Inn. Naturally, Yosemite National Park hotels fill up quickly, and this inn is not exception. Do not be caught unprepared, because with a cost of just $165 for a room during peak season, this establishment offers deals that are too good to pass by!
Of course, of all the Yosemite National Park hotels, nothing will get you closer than the Evergreen Lodge, which is located only mile from Yosemite park's western edge. This property offers visitors the choice of traditional one room cabins or perhaps little cottages that offer living room as well as sleeping room. Families will enjoy staying in one of the two bedroom cabins. Prices are surprisingly affordable, and with rates ranging from $89 to $249 a night, this location is a steal! The view is amazing, and the activities that await the visitor are just a stone throw away. No matter which location you choose for your next visit, or perhaps your first visit, to Yosemite National Park, California doesn't get any better than this! The air is crisp and clean, the waterfalls and meadows inspired the likes of Ansel Adams, and the sheer majesty of nature is certain to rejuvenate the heart and soul of any man, woman, or child. Enjoy your stay!
