6. Yosemite Shuteye (from USD 150)

The most visited location in Yosemite National Park has to be the gorgeous Yosemite Valley. It has the biggest concentration of scenic vistas in the park, with the most famous spots having evocative names such as the El Capitan, the Bridal Veil Falls and the Mirror Lake. Don’t forget to visit the Yosemite Falls, the highest waterfall in North America at 739 meters (2,425 feet). It is also well worth jostling with the visiting crowd at the Tunnel View lookout point, where you will get an awe-inspiring overview of the valley with all its granite cliffs and waterfalls.

All the roads in the park lead to the valley, so you can base yourself in any town near its four entrances. One of them is Oakhurst, a half-hour drive from the park’s south entrance, where there is a regular bus service into the park several times in the summer months. This private and beautiful yurt accommodation is amid a property in the outskirts of Oakhurst, and has a well-equipped kitchen, indoor fireplace and free wifi for you to enjoy your solitude in comfort.

7. Luxurious yurt with spa/pool and sunset view (from USD 178)

If you want to go yurt camping in Yosemite, Glacier Point is about an hour’s drive up from the valley. From the car park, a walkway leads to one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the park, as you can take in miles and miles of scenery of the valley below. The road to the lookout point is closed in winter, although you can enjoy downhill and cross-country skiing at Badger Pass near the start of the road. Rivaling many Yosemite yurt rentals, this luxurious yurt is perched on the edge of a forested ravine with beautiful sunset views near Garden Valley, three hours north of Yosemite. A salt-water vanishing edge pool and spa are available for guest use, as are semi-outdoor showers and a patio area with a picnic table.

12. Off-the-grid yurt experience (from USD 189)

If you’re looking to go off the grid then this tent yurt in Yosemite is for you.

Staying here is truly a one-of-a-kind experience and is perfect for those looking to step out of their comfort zones while having the nearby resort as a safety net.

17. Sophisticated yurt

There are rustic accommodations available amid the Yosemite Valley, and the area is well-served by amenities such as a visitor center, a convenience store, eateries and even a library. Demand for the lodgings is extremely high, as visitors can then spend a few days exploring the picturesque peaks, waterfalls and lakes in the valley. If you are unable to snare a room, fret not, because there are many good accommodations all around the national park. This yurt rental is further away from the park vicinity, but makes up for it with great comfort amid the private and remote location near the town of Coloma, about three hours from Yosemite. With wooden walls and concrete floor, this Yosemite yurt for rent is without the drawbacks of a canvas construction, and also has a cozy hot tub for guests to keep cool in the summer. You can even enjoy a river shuttle service along the nearby South Fork American River and experience Yosemite yurt glamping to the fullest.
