Curry Village

I stayed in cabin 4A during December, 2024. The accommodations were surprisingly bad...materially worse than a Motel 6. * The cabin was dirty and dusty; the blankets were filthy like a crime scene; the carpet was disgusting and caked with mud. * And why carpet? What a terrible choice since they know that they have not paved the walkways and the porches are poorly designed to pool water right in front of the door. So guests will drag dirt inside frequently. * There was NOT regular housekeeping, such as sheet and towel changes, vacuuming, etc. Clearly the did not wash the blankets and carpet regularly. * The drapes did not close all the way * There was no cold water in the sink...only in the bathtub. * Every 1-2 hours the toilet made a loud gurgling sound... clearly the gas release in the plumbing was broken. * The mattress was sagging and the bed was at a slight angle. * The food at the cafeteria was serviceable at best. Note that the village is located in the shady part of the valley, so it was always a bit dim and dismal.

Honestly, a huge glamping site with lots of amenities! Literally one of the popular spots in Yosemite National Park! Has many restrooms, outhouses, eateries, Wi-Fi, tents to rent! We absolutely adore their little market place of food snacks, merch and more!

Been coming here for nearly 20 years. In my opinion...this is where Curry Village stands today. Solely based on my experience... The good: The location. Probably the best place to get a hike started and access to river activities, a guest pool and bike rentals. CV also offers a great close up view of half dome! The village also has a pretty good amount of food options and gift shops. Public shower stalls are available to CV guests as well. Parking can be tricky during peak season so arrive early if you can. Oh!...wifi is available but it runs pretty slow during certain hours. The Not So Good: It's gotten out of control crowded and crowded with people who can't follow the basic rules of camp etiquette or common decency. Talking all loud after hours (usually drunk) and the biggest "no no" is people prepping hot meals outside their tents! You're not suppose to do that! That's why you're in a place that offers meals! Finally it's gotten way too pricy to justify the cost of a tent. It wasn't that long ago that it was reasonable. Price aside, my biggest gripe is the lack of enforcement of knuckleheads. Not even a warning. AND FINALLY... I'm a pet owner. I do love and care for my dog. That being said, if the rule says not to bring your dog unless it's a guide dog or one with a doctor's note guess what? Don't bring your dog to sleep over in a tent! Kennel them like I do or get pet sitter. The rules are there for a reason. You can bring your pet if you're just there for the day but please clean up after it. Don't be that A-hole. Hopes this helps in planning a future visit. Cheers!

Curry village was so great! It is near all the hikes, lots of parking (it gets a little crazy), the bus comes frequently, the bathrooms were pretty clean, the shower curtains smell a bit mildewy.. I got a good deal on expedia, I would come back and bring the whole fam. The front desk staff were friendly and did an excellent job explaining the rules and regulations. There wasn't service in the tents and the wifi was limited to the community center so I suggest bringing some card games, a speaker, and another light source, it gets very dark walking to the bathrooms. The safes don't work and you're provided with a couple of wool blankets and small towels, I brought my own and very glad I did. I couple more recommendations: shower caddy, snacks, hand warmers, portable charger, tissues, and an extension cord (heated tent has an outlet) if several people are staying in the tent.

I've stayed at Curry Village four times over the past 20 years, using it as a base for my hikes to Half Dome. From CV, the hike is approximately 18 miles round trip. The best thing about CV is its proximity to trailheads. The cabins do not seem to be cleaned well (floors are gritty) and the safes are not operational. There are bear boxes provided outside each cabin - bring your own padlock. The tent cabins are rustic but the beds are comfortable and overall, it's the most reasonably priced way to stay in Yosemite Valley. There are a few dining options (a taqueria, pizza place, pasta, Asian, Starbucks) but no table service. Be prepared for long lines. I would advise NOT to go in July however. There are tons of families and groups of children running around the camp yelling and screaming. My group was getting up at 4am to start our hike and the families did not respect the quiet hours of 10pm-6 am. When I went over to one of the parents and asked her to quiet the children down at 10pm, she gave me a dirty look and even made rude comments about me as I was walking away. I ended up calling the front desk to report a noise disturbance but it didn't help much. If you need a quiet place to rest, this is not the place. Bring earplugs!! I would recommend this place during the shoulder seasons, not in high season with the masses of tourists.

I'll be honest, this would not be my first choice for accommodations in the park, nor my second or even fifth choice. First off, the bathrooms and showers are absolutely disgusting. Multiple times I went inside one only to find out it was clogged, not to mention some of the flooring is questionable to where I felt like I might've fallen through it. They're supposedly cleaned multiple times a day but I highly doubt that. If you are brave enough to shower, don't forget shower shoes!!! There are a few restrooms that I like to call holy grail restrooms which have a shower and toilet by itself but due to the privacy of it all they tend to have lines. The tents themselves need major upgrading, sure you're sleeping in a heated tent in nature, things are going to be messy and dirty but you're paying for convenience, cleanliness, clean showers and bathrooms but some maintenance and upgrades would go a long way. The door and platform the tent is on is wood, as well as the floor so you might get a splinter (my fiancé did from the door) and don't forget other shoes to wear inside the tent as it's dirty, worn wood so I wouldn't recommend walking with bare feet or even socks. Also, the heaters themselves are extremely questionable. I was very nervous having it turned on. The parking is by far the worst, it's on gravel and everyone pretty much just makes their own spots so where more cars could have possibly fit, people don't care. There's huge dips and holes everywhere which makes navigating it tricky if you have a low vehicle and since Curry Village has some of the few food spots in the park and parking for nearby trails (Mirror Lake, The Mist Trail, ect) it fills up extremely quickly and even though you're staying here, good luck finding a spot. If you are staying here I'd recommend the shuttle. It can be inconvenient as it runs every 20-30 minutes and most people don't want to wait but it beats leaving and having to drive around multiple times to try to find parking, chances are you won't for a while. Also, just like a regular tent these are paper thin so snoring, babies crying, loud laughing/talking can all be heard all hours of the night. Our first night someone had actually snuck in a dog so it kept waking me up - of course they were removed the next day but it was rough. Be respectful, in any capacity! There's also no food in or around the tents, nor are scented items allowed but honestly nobody cares. I saw multiple people cooking outside the tents, carrying their food inside the tents. We even found candy inside the safe in ours and I'm sure that's not the only thing they had. It's kind of a stay here at your own risk although you might have a better chance getting an actual camp site and bringing your own tent because at least then you can cook/have a fire. They also have a guest center where you can play games, read, sit outside and enjoy nature, ect. No food or drinks are allowed inside but again, nobody cares and when it's busy and seating is limited everyone flocks here to eat. They provide WiFi but it's a National Park, it's not the best or even decent but if you need it for a few minutes to send a few texts then it'll work fine for you. I wasn't able to access it at my tent but I was on the further end so depending on where you're staying you might be able to. The only upside is that there's a store as well as multiple food spots. The Pizza Deck is a huge recommendation! The best pizza I've ever had. I will say all the staff we interacted with was extremely nice and very helpful. This is not on them, it's on management. I hope they read these reviews and take into consideration not only mine, but others opinions.

Review is of Thursday, August 15th - one night stay. The campsite accommodations were exceptionally clean. The staff at check-in were prompt, friendly, and informative. We were assigned cabin 617 which has one double bed and 3 single beds. It came with 5 clean bath towels and an exterior bear box. The village is buzzing with life and while there are longer lines for dinner and breakfast, they move quickly. Wi-fi is spotty so don't count on that working at all. Get into the spirit and stay in the moment. Curry Village is about making memories in one of the most majestic places in the world. The bathrooms were unbelievably clean! I was actually SHOCKED. The showers were pristine and the camp bathrooms had very few bits of paper on the floor (not the norm for a campground). Overall I'm very impressed with Curry Village and cannot wait to come back and make memories in the future.

It is known National Parks accommodations aren't the nicest you are instead paying for location. The good: The location you cannot beat. Walking distance to many trails! Mist trail was by far our favorite hike this trip! We enjoyed that there was food, coffee, and, beer to eat right by the village. We stayed in a cabin without a bathroom. Cabin was too be expected. Doesn't seem like too much cleaning happens of the cabin as the floors and everything were super dusty. Shared bathrooms were disgusting. Multiple days where the trash was overflowing onto the floors. I didnt even bother showering as they looked gross and we were only staying one night. Paper towels and soap were out for over 24 hours in another bathroom. I would stay again purely for the location.

I had an amazing stay and super experience. Tents were clean and bed were comfortable. As I had my 3year old I requested for some extra blankets after reserving my stay here and I did receive them. And also got my tent near to the restroom and as oer request I got the same. I only had a small request kindly include 1 or 2 Asian food items like noodles or fried rice in the near by restaurant as my 3 year old didn't like the and didn't eat anything at Dinning pavilion. At least include some options for kids meal. Kids does prefer pizza but many kids doesn't.

Personally, I love Camp Curry and think the tent cabins are the best value in the park. However, this time my sisters were in town and they wanted their own shower and toilet, so we stayed in the hard-sided cabins, which was a new experience for me, so that was nice to try something new. The cabin was nice and clean and you get the option of fresh towels, etc daily or the responsible and eco-option of asking for what you need only when you need it; that's the option we choose and it was perfectly fine. Parking can be a pain despite the size of the main lot, but with our parking pass, we were luckily never parked too far away from our cabin. The Wifi here has been horrid for years and for my past two trips it's been down completely. The cell service is extremely bad, and I think that's due to camp Caribbean right against the granite wall, so we had to traipse over to the Village to get any type of reception. I would think a cell service company would come in and place a tower or that they would finally get on satellite or Starlink Wi-Fi. So, for the most part, we were completely untethered to the outside world for a week and that wasn't too terrible. However, after a long day of hiking, it was always so nice to sit in those rocking chairs on the porch and edit your photos of the day or check into the world happenings and I hope they get the Wi-Fi situation permanently fixed. From Curry, Village, you can get to so many places just by walking and not having to deal with the traffic (or more specifically to this trip, the various construction happening all over the park). We go over to the Ahwahnee and Yosemite Lodge for a change of food options sometimes, but I really don't ever wanna stay anywhere other than Camp Curry. It's the happy-medium 'camping' experience I enjoy.

I have been visiting Curry Village for more than 20 years. Most recently we stayed in a heated tent cabin for four people. It had a double bed and two twin beds. It had plenty of space for two adults and a child. The heater worked well. The bear locker was easy to use. The restrooms and showers were easy to locate and in good shape. All of the staff o interacted with were friendly and kind. I'll always try to stay at Curry Village when I visit Yosemite.

Great location inside park great sunset just short walking distance from the cabin great choice cabins with private bathroom,cabins less expensive with walking distance to public showers and tents good choice of restaurants and cozy fireplace inside building with limited internet access

I was beyond excited to get lodging in Yosemite Valley, only starting my search about 6 weeks in advance of our trip. After some research and family admonishments for my procrastination, I realized I was months behind to book anything. But, I knew I did not want to sleep in a tent nor share a bathroom. After stalking Aramark's Yosemite website for a couple of weeks, I finally found a cabin in Curry Village, with it's own private bathroom, available for Thursday night, May 19th, just 25 days prior to our stay. This was possibly due to the 2022 "season" beginning the day after our visit, though the park was quite crowded while we were there. So, my #ProTip is to continually check the website for the lodging you want. Throughout my stalkings, available options kept changing due to cancelations, literally by the minute. So I was checking many times a day. Or, plan ahead & book many months before your visit to guarantee your desired lodging. FYI, Yosemite National Park is on a reservation system for entry to the Valley Floor this summer (2022), so reserving in advance is required just for daily entry. If you are staying overnight on the Valley Floor, you don't need a separate park-entry reservation for either your check-in or check-out day. However, the park entry fee still applies ($35) when entering the Valley. My single complaint is that our Curry Village cabin had no A/C, only heat. In my research, I'd discovered that the weather could literally run the gamut at Yosemite in mid-May... we could've had snow or 90+ degree temps. So I wasn't terribly worried about this cabin not having A/C. As it turned out, the low at night was about 54°F, with daytime highs in the mid-80's (F). But, because our cabin was stuffy, we were excited to find a table-top oscillating fan in the closet, which was an amenity I was relieved to have. We also opened the windows, in spite of my concerns about the screens. The mesh didn't seem very fine & the screen panels were not affixed nor secure (they slid very loosely, more than the glass panes). By nighttime, I'd encountered a number of appalling insects outdoors at Yosemite and I was certain they all knew every trick to get inside the cabins & tents. My fears were unfounded, at least for this single night, as the only bugs I found in our cabin were a couple of ants in the bathroom. And my insect repellent took care of them. I was comfortable all night & slept well in spite of my bug fears & hot flashes. Back to the bugs, there are A LOT here. I am not kidding. Even with repellent, I was bit by something at night, while waiting outside of the Curry Village General Store... it stung profoundly for a split second & burst a blood vessel. I had a small black & blue mark almost immediately & for about 5 days afterward. However, I'd flung off the offender so quickly that I didn't get a good look at him. I also found a weird beetle thing on the bench outside of our cabin, which prompted me to retire for the night. Not a fan of this type of wildlife. Bugs aside, we did see some real wildlife. While driving the loop (it's one-way, so we drove it quite a few times), we saw a juvenile bear cross the roadway. The next day, we spotted 6 or 7 deer grazing in a clearing near the pavement. The valley was more touristy than I thought (idk where I thought we were going!) so these couple of sightings were more than I expected. Back to the cabin, we were able to park right in front of our cabin, 7B. The building was like a duplex, housing two individual cabins, though it looked like there was a door between the two (we weren't adventurous enough to try opening it bc we were drunk). Our bathroom was actually not as small nor as primitive as I expected, with hooks & toiletries. I would absolutely stay here again, in this exact same cabin. Our beds were comfortable (yep, I enjoyed sleeping alone on this night) and the temps were fine. The fan was perfect to circulate the air, but July might not be so pleasant. Maybe because we were near the employee lodging, it seemed rather quiet here all night. Note, there's no TV but we had electricity so I could charge my devices. Also, the cabin itself wasn't tiny so we had plenty of space for our cooler & luggage.

Could use a bit of a deep cleaning but you can't beat the location right on the valley floor.

I have mix feelings. It seems like such an inefficient system. The heater is blasting at the highest level and the tents have air leaks everywhere. It is cozier than a tent for sure. If it snows tho everything turns to ice and when you walk out in the middle of the night to pee ...it may be tricky. If you have nocturia best to rent a hotel instead of a heated tent. We are at a place in the village call the deck, which serves pizza. The pizza was really good. We had the white wolf and margarita. I liked the margarita more. Anyway, we came when it snowed and the parking lot for this area is a mess. My advice is get there early find parking and then take the bus to go hike elsewhere around the park.

We've been coming and staying in the tent cabins for 6 years. The pool has never worked and is ALWAYS under construction. The staff here is extremely underwhelming. Very basic. Not helpful. They don't know much about the valley or events that may be going on. They don't have an understanding of the shuttle schedule. Last year a member of the staff came into my locked tent and threw away my bag of my families dirty clothing. All I got was a sorry.

This was my first time at Curry Village, and it was a great experience. It is conveniently close to stores, bike rental, trailheads, and shuttle stops. The bathrooms and showers are well-maintained, though during some times of the day, you might run into a line. Check in and check out was super easy. Parking could get rough during busy seasons but we had anticipated that and focused our travels on the nearby trailheads in the mornings, and in the afternoon we road the shuttle to get to different places in the park. Would not recommend spending too much time inside the tent when it's hot, since it is pretty stuffy during the day. Cell service is spotty, but you're in Yosemite, so that's just par for the course. One thing I would suggest is better signage in terms of where cabins are. We stayed at 223, right in front of the residential area, and people were often confused looking for their cabins and would walk into the residential area. Can't tell you how many times we pointed people to the correct roadway. The blankets provided were good, especially for this time of year. Overall, staying here was very enjoyable, and I would do it again!

Curry Village tents are crowded, noisy, and overpriced with sub-par housekeeping. Location is fantastic. Everything else was a disappointment.

we stayed overnight and was pleasantly surprised how comfortable and clean the tent cabin was. The sounds of the water falls nearby can be heard in the quiet of the night. some neighbors were a bit loud but they quiet down before midnight. Checkin and check out is easy. parking is a little far. Bathrooms are clean. The trail to Mirror Lake is not well marked but just follow the bike trails and it is easier to reach the Mirror lake from Curry Village. The food is ok and shops are fine, too.

Great place to stay to take a break from tent camping. We had room with heater and it was great bec even in May nights gets chilly and we turned it on. Rooms have comfortable beds, thin blankets, pillow, towels, plugs to charge your phone. Bring your own thick blanket if you get cold at nights and pillow cover. There are toilet papers in bathrooms and pretty clean I would say for being in woods, showers if you wish to take a shower. Spacious bear storage outside each room to store your food in there and I world say two coolers would easily fit in there . The food court is 5 min walk , it was ok however gets pricey if you want to eat every single meal there . So I would suggest bring some easy food with you to make and have one or two meals at food court. Cooking with fire is not allowed inside and around curry village around your room. Even if it was not allowed I still saw some people had brought single propane and made coffee in the morning outside their room. Shuttles are short walk distance for the park. Car parking can be walking distance depending on where your room is so you have to carry your stuff from the parking lot to your room as cars don't get close to your room so you have to do couple of rounds of walking to carry all your stuff . I saw some people had brought small wagons that they put their stuff and rolled it to room, that's smart to bring if you have one at home. Overall it was a great experience for us, usually I do tent camping so this was different and I enjoyed it very much.

We've stayed in curry village twice now and I'm sure it won't be the last. Check in is easy, and a lot of times you can check in early if your room is ready. Bathrooms are always clean which is great. Our cabin light was broken. We luckily brought lanterns so it was fine but without them that would have definitely been a bummer. The unheated cabins are COLD. First time we stayed was October and second time in february. Both times were very cold at night. I'm sure summer is a different story but if you stay in winter or fall then the blanket they provide is not enough. We brought sleeping bags, a comforter and a super warm camping outdoor blanket. And I still had to sleep in layers and a beanie. But it's all worth it to be in the park:) There are food options and grocery/gift on site as well as some hangout spots. All the food options are expensive but pretty typical for being in a park. It's definitely cozy and a good time. Last we went there was a coyote walking along the path of our cabin so be sure to keep your eyes out and pack away all your food! Only complaint was it was VERY icy and VERY slippery everywhere. We saw multiple people fall every day we were there. I get not being able to use ice melt for wildlife but there must be some other options. There wasn't even any signs to want people so you could just see people slipping the second they got out of their car or walking up to registration. Someone is bound to get seriously injured.

Yosemite has always been my happy place and Curry Village my go-to for decades. It is unfortunate that the management here has become so deplorable. My last visit was the second week of October and the employees just seems like they didn't want to be here. Burnt out, cranky, and plain rude. I'm sure working here with so many visitors every year must get tiring. Especially when so many of those visitors are way worse: rude, insensitive, demanding and plain old entitled. Nevertheless, the ones choosing to get paid to be here are the employees and I put the responsibility of their poor service on management. Why? Because it is clear that management has other priorities. Besides their employees being worn out, the facilities lack the love and care they need. This place needs a coat of paint everywhere, a maintenance crew working year round to fix all the little things: replacing shower curtains, touching up the cabins, keeping the canvases clean. There is a pothole in the parking lot the size of a small crater. I'm not kidding. And it's been there for years, just getting bigger. I do need to note the food is good quality and varied. But it does feel like the management is relying of Yosemite's beauty to get by. What's sad is that it is not because of lack of revenue. Yosemite is still one of the biggest draws. Prices are what they should be to have way better maintenance and customer service.

This is akin to a Six Flags and it's food offerings. Even if the thrill of the rides satiates you Adrenalin craving, their cuisine will leave much to be desired. After a grueling hike up and back down the sheer cliff faces of Yosemite, do you think I'm vying for a dry hoagie with a single slice of turkey slapped in between it? I was itching for some hot cocoa and all they had was the middest of mid (see attached below). Overall, not upset, but not pleased.

If you're looking for a warmer camping experience in the fall, the curry village heated tent cabins were the perfect way to "glamp". It still felt a little bit crowded though, so if you're just looking for a more authentic camping experience, I'd recommend not staying here, or in the valley in general. There was no true area to cook your food, and the lines to buy food were all crazy long.

We got a cabin with bathroom and loved it. It was so comfortable and clean and relaxing. Check in and parking was easy. I love all of the food places and gift shop. It is the best place to stay in yosemite.

If you're looking for a place to relax with amenities in the valley, this is the place for you! The canvas tents come with comfortable beds, sheets, and blankets. After a long day on the trail, it's nice to know you're coming back to a place that will let you shower and sleep well! I tent camp in campsites 99% of the time that I visit any national park or camping place so coming back to this place as a "night after half dome/long hike" is amazing. Not only do they have showers and a nice place to sleep, they also have bike rentals, a pizza store, a bar, a pool, overnight parking, and a shuttle stop. This is a "must visit at least once in your life" experience!

Expensive junk! Charged $220 for the tent per night during offseason (less than half occupancy) Tents were not clean, there was constant itching (bedbugs) Hotel front desk would not hold luggage even for few hours. Absolute waste of money.

This is your budget accommodation that isn't a literal cloth tent or backpacking, permanent "tents" that are kind of like cabins with... idk what the material is, same stuff that emergency tents are put up in disaster areas. They offered luggage assistance and I wish I'd taken it, because hauling bags through dirt and mud, not fun. I wish there was better signage, because I got lost even with a map, and that's embarrassing. Shower house was pleasantly warm even on a cold morning. I wish there was more than one outlet so I could charge a phone and run my cpap but it was a tent with a double bed and HEAT, I can't complain. Very welcoming staff. I can't afford the ahwahnee, didn't want to stay an hour away in wawona, and comparables outside of the park are either more expensive or poorer quality. My second stay and I'll be back again. Tip: cell service doesn't really work at night but morning is fine. Wifi didn't work either time I was there.

This was our first time staying in Curry Village! We were so excited to find an opening in one of the heated tent cabins about 2 weeks out from our trip. We arrived after dark, so it was kind of difficult to navigate the Curry Village in the evening since there are not many lights in this area and it's a big village. The check-in process was easy, they are staffed 24/7 which makes for a flexible check-in process. They provided a parking pass, map, and 2 keys. Once we had a map, it was easy to find our tent cabin! The village itself has a grocery store/market, gear shop, coffee shop, pizza restaurant, bar, and dining hall. We were so excited to see that the pizza place was still open when we arrived after 8pm! There is a guest lounge that is advertised as having free wifi, but the wifi barely worked for me. There is better service in other parts of the Yosemite valley. The tent cabin itself was spacious and comfortable. The walls are thin though, so you are able to hear people outside of your tent very easily. We had a heated tent cabin and unfortunately the heat was very difficult to figure out. The instructions say to set it to the max 90 degrees and the heater will turn off and on as needed, but when we did that the cabin was too hot. We turned it down to 75-80 degrees, then the heater never kicked on. We woke up around 3am and were freezing and could not get it to turn back on. The sleeping bag type of blanket that was provided did help keep us warm and eventually the heater did turn on once my husband flipped a breaker that was in the tent. However, it was a pretty unreliable system for keeping us warm. That was the only downside of our stay! The bathroom were actually very nice for a campground; a bathroom code is provided at check-in. There are bear boxes outside the tent cabins to place all of your foods/drinks and you must sign a waiver saying you will not leave any food/drinks in the tents or your cars. You cannot beat the views of waking up to the giant granite walls that surround you in the Curry Village. It is in a prime location in Yosemite Valley right by Half Dome and is close to all the valley activities you would want to do. I would definitely come back again in the future but would probably not count on a heated tent cabin!

We stayed in the tent cabins a few years back, and I remember the conditions to be a bit better. In the COVID-19 environment, I think they are booking at 50% capacity here. If I read correctly, I'd assume they'd spread out everyone's tent cabins as we checked in. But no - all the tents near us all checked in at the same time, at least 6 of us on the same side, next to each other. I will say I was happy with how clean the bathroom building was by our tent cabin (we were in 628). Toilet stalls, floor and the sinks were all very clean with no bugs in sight and hand soap was well stocked. We only stayed one night so we didn't shower there, but they did have controls in place for cleaning and limiting entrance into the shower area. I'm lowering my stars for the tent cabins since the canvas to our tent looked like it had mold on it, and there were bugs and spiders everywhere. I brought old fitted sheets to put over their mattress sheets and we slept on sleeping bags and brought our own mini pillows. It's a steep price ($160) to pay for a tent that needs a new canvas exterior and bugs all over. The small locker in our tent was also locked before we arrived. We didn't want to bother going to inquire about it and waiting for help, so we did without it - but you'd think that would have been taking care of before our arrival. I probably won't opt to stay here again unless there is an overhaul of the tents.

I had high hopes for this pace located in Yosemite Valley. It's been a huge disappointment. Starting with the checkin - the young girl was totally inexperienced. I asked for a tent not to close to the restrooms because I was told it could be too smelly. She gave a tent that's away from everything near the road. Ok, that's not to bad. However the tents are paper thin. You can hear everything a person is saying. How would you like to have a baby whining and crying all night long. I have to endure another night. Food options limited and Saturday night you'll have to wait forever to get food. I saw a few disgusting clogged toilets. Parking impossible to find. Wasted so much time finding a spot about 2 miles away. I would never never stay here again. Especially paying over $200 per night. Pay extra and stay at the lodge.

We stayed at Curry Village in the tent cabins for 3 nights (Saturday-Tuesday) in late June. I am a very light sleeper, so here are my tips for other campers! The beds: surprisingly comfortable! They were softer than your typical hotel, so I was pleased. There are flat pillows on the beds, so if you are picky about pillows, bring your own. While the bottom sheet is on the bed, the top sheet and blanket (made of typical sleeping bag material) are clean and ready for you to make the bed yourself. We brought sleeping bags, but really didn't need to. "Heated" tent cabins: The heater is not active in the summer months, but they do contain outlets (non-heated tents do not)! This was very helpful for recharging phone/cameras Temperatures: it was very hot when we stayed, and I had brought PJs for cool/cold weather. Big mistake! For about an hour in the mornings it was cool enough to warrant a hoodie, but we did not need all the cold weather gear I had brought. Bring one option for cool mornings, but you don't need cold weather clothing for every day of your stay if you'll be there when it's hot. Even though it cooled off in the evenings, the tents stayed hot. If you have a battery powered fan or a small plug in (for the "heated" tents), BRING IT! Cell/wifi: do NOT expect a signal at all in the village. Supposedly, the guest center has one, but I was never able to get a signal, even when few people were there. Some picnic sites and Visitor Center had one Bathrooms: There are some buildings with multiple toilet stalls and sinks, and some buildings that have toilets and showers. The latter have 2 men's and 2 women's bathrooms, each with 2 toilet stalls and 3 single shower stalls. The stalls are small but manageable, and have a small "staging area" to undress/dress. The curtains aren't the greatest, so modesty is pretty much out the window. There are no benches/surfaces in the area, so bring a light dress/easy pants/shirt you can easily get on and off in a tight space. A towel is provided for you, but it's pretty small. There are also some family/handicapped bathrooms that have a toilet, fold-down changing table, and shower and shower chair. The floor is always wet/muddy, and again there are limited surfaces to set things, so keep it simple. There are frequently lines for these in the morning/evening, and some people use them all to themselves rather than for families with kids or disabled people, which will probably earn you some glares. My tip for bathrooms: KEEP IT SIMPLE. Easy clothing to put on, primp and brush your teeth at your tent (I saw women with giant travel kits spending forever at the mirror primping and others couldn't get in to wash their hands. You're camping, give it a rest!). All bathrooms had dispensers with shampoo and body wash Entertainment: There is a guest center with (sandless) shuffle board tables, foosball, and big connect four, as well as chairs and a fireplace. There was no A/C so it was hot inside Food: This was the biggest problem. You can't cook or have a campfire, so your food options are either to eat at the cafe/pizza place (limited hours and long lines), bring foods that don't need to be cooked (keep them in the bear lockers), or drive to a picnic spot that has grills (they fill up quickly and parking can be difficult). There is a market there as well, it has some gifts, ice, and basic grocery supplies, but doesn't open until 9am, and closes by 7pm. Staff: Everyone we talked to was very nice and helpful Parking: can be tricky during the day (like the entire valley), but better in the evenings Location: can't be beat. In the valley with a view of Half Dome and all the granite cliffs, short drives to the Visitor Center, hikes, swimming areas and picnic spots Noise level: it REALLY depends on where you are and who is around you. Our area was relatively quiet compared to others. Most noise occurs between dusk and 9:30pm. Most nights, people were pretty respectful of the 10pm-6am quiet hours, with a few exceptions. On the other side of camp there were hoards of kids running, screaming, and literally biking around while blowing whistles continuously. As a parent myself, I would not tolerate that, but hey- what are you going to do? Hanging out at camp: We came with extended family, and most of us were right next to each other, with one party away in a non-heated tent. Luckily, we had some space between our tents to set up a table and camp chairs. It was pretty fun and ended up chatting with some of the people staying around us as well. Not every tent had a great place to set up like that, so it was pretty nice TLDR version: Pros: comfy beds, good location Cons: limited food options, no cooking at camp Bring: a portable fan in summer, folding table/camp chairs if you want to hang out outside your tent, easy shower clothes

On the plus side, I didn't ACTUALLY murder my next door neighbors after being woken up to them chatting in full-volume Hindi at 5 a.m... In Curry Village tent cabins you're separated from your neighbors by thin canvas and about 15 inches. Quiet hours are supposedly 10 p.m. - 6 a.m. but woe be to those who arrive without ear plugs. A night of sound sleep is only as good as your neighbors are kind. There's other problems with the tent cabins, fixable type problems. The bathrooms and showers are communal, gender segregated, accessible only by passcode, and kept clean. What is inexcusable though (and oh so fixable) is the toilet in the "family" bathroom that was plugged up for more than 24 hours and the fact that paper towels with which to dry hands in the restroom/shower area were routinely missing. These problems, though maddening, I can overlook because I find the experience of spending dawn to dusk in the stunning surrounds of Yosemite Valley that amazing. In the past 14 months I've thrice visited Yosemite, each time getting closer and closer to actually staying overnight in the Valley and this experience - even with its flaws - spoiled me for ever again staying outside the park. You might feel differently as it took staying here in the park to fully change my views. Bedding is provided, bear lockers too, the tent cabins are lit, but outlets are non-existent. Though inconvenient for charging phones, I applaud the lack of outlets as I cringe imagining what sound-producing electronics might otherwise be plugged in at a tent beside me. (You can find outlets in the nearby lodge). Curry Village is active and busy with everything one needs. Literally: a store with food/supplies/souvenirs, several places to eat, a wine bar, beer, a lodge, a swimming pool, bike/raft rentals, and interesting ranger-led talks in the evenings. At $162 per night (including taxes and fees) for what is essentially glorified camping, it's not cheap but then again, I didn't have to erect a tent or a cookstove. For me? Worth the price. Curry Village tent cabins are routinely fully sold out all summer long but cancellations arise, creating available space. That's how I got in. I don't often break it down this way but here you go: the tent cabin experience at Curry Village is a solid 3 stars but the experience of walking out of that tent in the morning or staying in the park until long past dark? 5 stars all the way.

We have stayed at Yosemite before at the Housekeeping cabins and Yosemite Lodge, but this was our first time at Curry Village, and we really enjoyed it. We had a heated canvas cabin w/ shared bathroom with a double bed and two singles, and it was perfect for the three of us. The weather near the end of May was all over the place, with sun, quite a bit of rain, and even some snow! So, the heat was really appreciated. There was a bear locker out front to store our food, and they supply sheets, blankets, pillows and towels. They also have an electricity outlet and a light. We brought food for breakfasts and lunches, but they have nice food options - Meadow Grill, that serves, coffee, breakfast, lunch and early dinner 7am - 6 pm; Peet's coffee shop (6:30-noon); Pizza Deck, which actually has amazing pizza (noon-8 or 9 pm), and a cool little bar - Bar 1899 - that makes some mean cocktails, and also serves beer, wine and appetizers (noon- 8 or 9 pm). There's also a little grocery store and "mountain shop" that sells hiking equipment, etc. Things we brought and/or would bring next time: lock for bear locker, extension cord, camping chairs and little table for preparing sandwiches, etc., games, flashlights. The bathrooms have shampoo and body wash in the showers, so only really need conditioner. Definitely will be back!

We recently visited Half Dome Village on 11/20/18-11/21/18. We were able to booked one of the heated tents. We were setup with tent #227. Check in time is at 4:00 pm and check out is at 11:00 am. Check was fairly easy. We parked in the designated area for check in. There is 20 minute limit here to park and check in. After that you can park in the main parking lot and head over to your tent. We really appreciate the front desk since it was our first time staying in the village and Daniel gave us a run done on recommendations and what was open and closed for the season. The tent was roomy and clean. We will definitely be coming back to Half Dome Village. We had a great time and were fortunate to have good neighbors which followed the camp rules.

They said they should refund me 149.68 dollars. However, they charged me 149.68 dollars instead. How stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still waiting for the refund. So bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, the prices for tent camping are sad. We stayed at Curry Village in the 1990s. Nice experience but still camping. Finding the bathroom in the night etc, cold, somewhat noisy depending on your neighbors.

We had an amazing stay in December in a cabin with bathroom. Our family of four stayed in a cabin with a double and single bed (our toddler slept in our pack n play). The cabin was small but the bedspreads were very charming. It was nice to look out the window and see a snow covered curry village. The location was excellent as we were able to get meals at seven tents pavillion, skate at the ice rink, buy souvenirs and snacks at the village store, and even walk to Ahwahnee and hiking trails. We can't wait to return!

I recently stayed in a tent at camp curry. The tent was nice, the bed was comfortable, showers and restroom are clean. The best things about this camp is it's located really close to the start of the half dome hike. The other really convenient thing was that it's right next door to half dome village, where they have a store that sells groceries, they also have a bar in Yosemite village and a pizza place ( didn't get the pizza the line was ridiculous) I'd definitely stay here again

This is my first time staying in Yosemite Valley, and for those who aren't too picky but are not into "the ruff/tuff lyfe" this is the perfect place for you to rest and clean off. We only stayed for one night, and for the experience of sleeping and waking up right in the heart of Yosemite Valley, to breathtaking views, I would definitely come back again for short trips. - Beds are relatively comfortable and clean - Lock box inside the tent for your valuables - Bear box outside each cabin for you to secure food and scented items (bring your own lock) - Two outlets - Heater worked really well in warming up our tent - Parking lot near by - Half Dome village restaurant less than 5 min walk away with decent food and pricing (dinner for an entree and two sides = 13.50) - Gift shop and mountaineering shop for any last minute gear needs - Communal shower and bathrooms short walk away that are relatively/somewhat clean. Bring shower flip flops!! I didn't have a negative experience, but my male friends informed me that their shower pressure was dismal and barely working. - Guest lounge near the restaurant where you can hang out with your friends and do camp-like activities. - Bike for rental on site ($12/hr) - Coffee available at the restaurant All in all, a reasonable solution to lodging at a lower price than other fancier lodges in the area (not many to begin with!), perfect for rinsing off and resting in between hikes!

Honestly this was pretty freaking cool. It was much cleaner and nicer than I was expecting. It was absolutely freezing but the tent had a heater which was a game changer. The pizza restaurant there is also fire. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. The only thing is that the restrooms by the tents could be a little nicer. The kids and I loved it. When we have visitors from out of town we will be taking them here.

As you sit back and take in the natural beauty of Yosemite National Park, you'll notice that there are several lodging opportunities. Half Dome Village seemed to be a popular destination due to the majestic backdrop. Every morning, you'll wake up to the sight of Half Dome and so much more! Half Dome Village is located inside of Yosemite National Park. A large parking lot will accommodate guests who are lodging here overnight as well as people who simply sight seeing for the day. Their lodging consists of tents that are already assembled and equipped with heat, a safe, and a bed. The lodge is adjacent to the tent community and this is where you'll find a common dining area, a restaurant, and a bar. Public restrooms and showers are also on site so that you'll have all of the basic necessities to make your stay enjoyable. A small general store has food, a microwave for your convenience, and souvenirs. Once you're situated, it's time to get out and explore your natural surroundings. Half Dome is a large granite rock formation that looks as if the front portion was removed. It's dome shape lends itself to its name so it's not too difficult to know what landform you're staring at. If you come during the winter month, it's covered in snow and it's absolutely stunning! What I find to be most interesting about Half Dome is the amount of people who come from around the world to climb to the top. However, Yosemite National Parks requires a permit to climb Half Dome so you can't just begin your ascent at your leisure. Nevertheless, it still might be an adventure that you would want to take on if you're looking for a challenge. Also as you hike through the park, you'll encounter plenty of wildlife! We saw several crows and blue jays. However, we ended up getting up close and personal with a couple of coyotes when we least expected it. If you cross paths with a wild animal, remember to remain calm and don't run. We waited it out and the little guy sauntered off back into the field. Bear activity was high by luckily, we did not have any bear encounters! Keep your food stored in the locked storage bins and remove food and toiletries from your vehicle. Even something as small as gum or candy can entice a bear so don't risk damage to your vehicle. Plus you really don't want to put the lives of the bears as well as you and your family at risk. Respect wildlife and admire it/them from afar. Half Dome Village is a great little spot to visit while in Yosemite! There are a lot of hiking opportunities for the whole family. If you get too cold or you don't feel like cooking, you can always buy breakfast or dinner at the restaurant in the lodge. Come prepared for up close wildlife viewing, multiple photo opportunities, and good times in the wilderness!

I absolutely LOVED this place and can't wait to go back. I arrived with no reservation and the staff was kind, friendly and helpful. They were able to accommodate and also answer all of my questions. At first I was hesitant on staying in a tent but after walking around and seeing how family oriented it was, I immediately felt calm and safe. The 10pm quiet time was really helpful too as by 10pm, it really was quiet. The tents have no heat (some do but you have to reserve ahead of time) and no power outlets. I loved that I was able to disconnect. Their restrooms were clean and maintained very well. Their little shop had everything from clothes to drinks (including alcohol), food, snacks, souvenirs and everything in between. Cute place. Definitely going back.

We stayed here recently for a few nights. We had three heated tent cabins reserved and they were next to each other. With 50% capacity, we thought we would be away from other people, but to our surprise, we had people near us. I think that defeats the purpose of social distancing during COVID-19. Inside the heated tent cabin, there were two twins and one double bed. Surprisingly, the beds aren't too bad. I didn't think I need the blankets sleeping since it was hot. Boy, I was sure surprised when I woke up in the middle of the night cold. The bathroom was quite a walk. I would know my way one time and then the next, I would be lost. Bathroom was clean. Showers, a bit small for those claustrophobic. Note: Tents are so thin, you can definitely hear your neighbors at night. Quiet hours are from 10 PM - 6 AM. I guess not for him?

I stayed here early Nov 21 and I'm really glad we did. Location is in Yosemite Park so super convenient and close to all the hiking trails and viewing points. We were able to get a last minute cabin, it was decently clean and perfect for our needs. Hot running water, private restroom, heat, and electricity. If you decide to reserve a tent, they do not come with a lot of these amenities. The staff was very friendly, the guy checking us in even gave us a free rollaway bed for my son which was greatly appreciated. Overall I would stay here again, checking in and out was easy and free if any error, no one wants issues after a long drive with 3 kids.

We've stayed here several times during summer months. We highly recommend this place as one of the best ways to see Yosemite. The tent cabins are nice with cots, electric lights/outlets, a safe, and pad lock doors. The staff is responsive and friendly. It's definitely not glamping - which we dont expect. It's very central to a lot of great Yosemite places-to-see.

Great place for a day visit or stay in the tent cabins over night. Very active place with the Merced River running through it. You can rent river rafts or bring your own. There s a pizza place in the village so you can buy some food if you didn't bring enough. Day parking fills up and they will be closed when they do. So coming earlier rather that later is best. Lots of great mountains, waterfalls and beautiful panoramic mountains! Lots of hiking for those that like to walk...bring sturdy shoes. Summer time is busy and traffic locks up so be patient and smile!

The trick to enjoying this place is to know what you are getting into! It's a permanent tent complex. Canvas tents over wood frames on wood platforms. One central bulb. No outlets to recharge phones. Poor phone reception. Very basic. Our tent had 1 queen bed and 3 singles. 2 chairs. And a shelf. Basic. Nothing fancy. There are shared flushing toilets and sinks. There are outlets in the potties. They regularly clean the potties! Separately there are shower facilities- tiny showers. There's a tiny curtain area outside each private shower stall to change in. They are clean. Water was warm, poor water pressure. But it felt great after a day hiking! There's a bear box that you must put any food item in. It's a metal box not too big. Small cooler will fit. Ice melts quick. There is a store to buy ice. You can not cook in the village. Bring a lock to put on your bear box. Our tent had a little area behind it that we set up our outside chairs we brought. Some areas didn't really have room to place chairs off the main path. So the tents are made of canvas... noise travels. There are quiet hours, but not everyone is polite. You hear everything. As long as you know this and expect it, it's fine. We were lucky. There was a loud tent of young party people. But the tents around us were firm on correcting them and they settled down. Parking may be pretty far from your tent. There are no wagons to help carry your stuff. Plan accordingly- it's through dirt so some luggage may be hard to pull. There is no bus through the park right now (covid). We took 2 cars - drove to the top and hiked down. Then took the other car to collect the one left behind. Make sure you read about getting the pass into the park!

We stayed at Curry Village last week for two days in the snow. The heated tent was roomy, with plenty of storage space. We brought 3-season sleeping bags with us, and still needed layers of clothes to sleep comfortably. Yosemite is beautiful in winter and it was well worth it. Bathrooms and showers were great. The camp was just opening, and we received some conflicting information about what restaurants would be open. Evan went the extra mile to answer our questions, which was greatly appreciated. Spacious bear boxes. WiFi and fire in lodge.
