"Opening May 15 to October 27, 2025, on an 80-acre seasonal site about 10 minutes from Yosemite National Park's Big Oak Flat entrance, the outfitted safari-style tents sit among California black oaks and ponderosa pines and include private bathrooms while sleeping up to six guests. The property highlights "Stargazer" tents that position beds beneath transparent coverings for night-sky viewing, and guests can expect on-site dining, extensive programming, and access to the Yosemite Area Rapid Transit System into the park." - Chelsee Lowe Chelsee Lowe Chelsee Lowe is a Los Angeles-based writer with an obsession with good eats and interesting stories.
