Camp Curry

Camp Curry, known today as Curry Village, is a historic lodging and camping area on the floor of Yosemite Valley near the base of Glacier Point, founded in 1899 by schoolteachers David and Jennie Curry as a simple canvas-tent camp for early park visitors. The site is now operated as a concession within Yosemite National Park by Aramark under the Yosemite Hospitality brand, and it remains one of the largest lodging clusters in the valley, mixing canvas tent cabins with shared bathhouses, wood-sided cabins with private or shared baths, and standard motel rooms. For a rider passing through Yosemite Valley, Curry Village sits within walking distance of valley-floor trailheads and shuttle stops, with amenities that include hot showers, a seasonal outdoor pool, and several on-site dining options. Some of the canvas tent cabins are heated for winter stays, and the property still uses the wooden-framed, canvas-wrapped cabin design that traces back to the original 1899 camp. Reservations open a year and a day in advance, and the location often sells out during peak summer months.
