Under a grove of oak and pine in its own small valley with a stream, the Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort offers a magical scene with cabins on stilts dotting the mountainside where walking is part of the experience.

This old camp dates from the 1930s and now offers private hotel-style rooms, tent cabins, hostelling international dormitories, group facilities, a health spa, and a highly regarded restaurant.

Choose from a private room or a double room, both with private bathrooms.
