Upscale glamping company, Under Canvas is opening its first California location this summer just 10 minutes from the Big Oak Flat entrance to Yosemite National Park, right on the YARTS route.
Set on acres of pristine forest, Under Canvas Yosemite is a secluded retreat that immerses guests in the natural wonders of the Sierra Nevada Mountains while still giving them easy access to the park’s iconic landmarks.
Sleep under towering pines in stylish canvas tents featuring king-size beds, ensuite bathrooms, and private decks—blending comfort with the unparalleled beauty of nature. Wake up to the scent of pine trees and the gentle sounds of nature, then head out to explore Yosemite’s famed attractions, from the granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome to the breathtaking waterfalls of Bridalveil and Yosemite Falls. After a day of adventure, return to camp for alfresco dining, nightly s’mores around the fire, and guided programming under the stars.
