Home to Half Dome, the Merced River, groves of giant sequoias, and, perhaps most famously, El Capitan — where Alex Honnold free soloed one of the tallest sheer cliff faces on the planet — Yosemite is as diverse a park as it is adventurous.

But with great fame comes booked up campgrounds and day-use reservations. It can feel nearly impossible to find a great place to stay near this infamous national park these days, with most in-park lodging booking up six months in advance. Plus, many of these spots don’t offer the creature comforts your group might want to make your wilderness getaway feel more like a vacation and less like a mosquito-filled mess.

We put in the hours and did the research for you, selecting 11 of our favorite glamping sites just outside of Yosemite. At each of these lovely locales, you’ll be surrounded by the blissful nature you came to witness while also being awash in thoughtful amenities.

As always, remember to practice the seven Leave No Trace Principles and respect any fire bans that may be in place — most glamping spots list these rules on their websites. Where applicable, pack out all your trash and only walk on established trails.

Read on for the most epic glamping options for your Yosemite National Park trip.
