Luxurious Desert Oasis
A remarkable new glamping destination has arrived, situated a mere 10 minutes from the western gateway to California's famed Yosemite National Park. This
property marks the brand's debut in the Golden State and represents its 13th establishment across the United States. It offers an elevated outdoor living experience at the doorstep of one of the nation's most frequented national parks. Spanning 80 acres, this retreat nestles among native Yosemite trees like the California Black Oak and Ponderosa Pine, housing 71 elegantly appointed safari-style tents. These accommodations are designed with ultimate comfort in mind, featuring plush bedding and sophisticated furnishings, all while emphasizing a deep connection with the surrounding natural environment and the celestial expanse above. The commitment to preserving the night sky is evident, as the resort recently earned the distinction of being California’s inaugural DarkSky Approved lodging. Each tent boasts a private deck strategically positioned for optimal stargazing, with specialized 'Stargazer Tents' offering expansive windows directly above the sleeping area for an immersive celestial view. For year-round comfort, all tents are equipped with heating and private bathrooms that include hot running water, showers, and flushing toilets, ensuring a blend of wilderness immersion and refined convenience.
Unplugged Nature Immersion
This glamping retreat champions an ethos of disconnected, upscale outdoor hospitality, designed to coexist harmoniously with its pristine natural setting. As noted by the CEO, the camp's location within a tranquil, forested mountainside, abundant with mature native trees, imbues it with a distinctly Californian ambiance. Guests are encouraged to embrace a digital detox, as the property intentionally eschews Wi-Fi. Instead, it provides a communal outdoor area perfect for leisure activities, including lawn games and engaging regular programming for younger visitors. Evenings are illuminated by a central campfire, where guests can gather for complimentary s'mores, fostering a sense of community. The resort is also notably pet-friendly, and for those eager to explore, a collection of hiking poles and yoga mats are available for guests to borrow throughout their stay, facilitating daily adventures. The heart of the property features a central 'lobby tent' that serves as a gathering space, housing a restaurant and lounge area, alongside a dedicated yoga deck offering daily classes. Dining is a highlight at Embers, the on-site restaurant presenting both indoor and al fresco seating options. The menu features fresh, wholesome dishes complemented by a selection of regional Californian wines and beers. For quick bites or provisions before heading to the park, a grab-and-go service is also available.
Seamless Park Access
Yosemite, a place that naturally evokes profound wonder, serves as the backdrop for an experience designed to allow guests to fully absorb its magnificence while acting as responsible stewards of the environment. Recognizing the convenience of reducing individual vehicle use, guests are encouraged to leave their cars at the property and utilize the YARTS (Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System) bus service, which conveniently stops directly across from the camp's entrance, providing easy and eco-friendly access to the national park. To further enhance the guest experience, the resort offers adventure concierges who can meticulously arrange a variety of activities both within and beyond the park boundaries. These excursions may include popular pursuits such as rafting, rock climbing, and fly fishing. Additionally, a dedicated guest experience coordinator acts as a local connoisseur, offering invaluable insights and recommendations for exploring the Yosemite region. A particularly cherished local gem, Rainbow Pool, is a family-friendly swimming spot featuring a picturesque waterfall and natural rock formations perfect for jumping, located less than 10 minutes from the camp, promising a refreshing escape and a taste of local adventure.
