Yosemite lodging is what the guidebooks call it, but kids call the campgrounds, rv parks and rustic accommodations of one of America's best-loved vacation destinations "a little slice of heaven." And no wonder! Lodging in Yosemite National Park delivers everything a kid (of any age) could want: a sense of the old, a taste of the new, and the thrill of something completely unexpected waiting to be discovered. Open the door, pull back the tent flap, turn in any direction and you're face-to-face with one of the world's most kid-friendly landscapes.
Yosemite lodging doesn't have something that you might expect: reception. As a result, it's difficult to use telephones and radios, and the only place that TVs can be found are at one of the Park's hotels. Fortunately, the same thing that makes it difficult to stay in touch with the 'outside' world is what helps kids get in touch with the world around them. Yosemite Park lodging options, especially campgrounds and R/V parks, help young travelers uncover a completely new definition of 'fun.' Disconnected from electronics and technology, they develop an appreciation for nature and nuture the ability to find pleasure in simple things…lingering long after a vacation in Yosemite ends.
Yosemite Park lodging offers something else kids' crave: quality family time. With both parents working in many households, opportunities for everyone to be together are often few and far between. Camping provides an inexpensive alternative to the vacations many families would like to take but cannot afford. Kids and parents alike enjoy being able to kick back and relax as a family, with no distractions…and none of the day-to-day problems of home life to get in the way of a good time.
Yosemite Park lodging even makes mom and dad feel like kids again. Carefree…at least as far as money is concerned! You can go the deluxe route when you visit Yosemite, of course. But Yosemite lodging is so varied and diverse that almost any family can find a budget- friendly option…and a destination that kids can look forward to visiting again and again…maybe even dreaming of the day they'll bring kids of their own.
Yosemite Park lodging is perfect for "city kids" who may not be used to the wilderness. They can get a healthy taste of the wilderness experience without having to rough-it too much. Comfortable RV parks and campsites rich in amenities and creature comforts make Yosemite lodging a nice place to come home to at the end of a child's busy day.
For kids more comfortable with rough-and-tumble activities, Yosemite lodging is an ideal home base for favorite activities such as biking and river rafting. Horseback riding is especially popular with teens. Guided scenic rides depart from and return to stables in Yosemite Valley, Wawona and Tuolumne Meadows…each one in close proximity to different Yosemite National Park lodging choices.
From a child's perspective, simple experiences are often the most meaningful Sitting around a campfire is one of the best forms of entertainment that parents and kids can enjoy, and an experience to be remembered and savored for a lifetime. Yosemite is the perfect place for young imaginations to soar along with the mountains.
