Under Canvas Yosemite
Back-to-nature basecamp
Under starlit skies
Swap screens for fireside s’mores and Californian flora at yet-to-open Under Canvas Yosemite, a tented stay on the doorstep of the storied national park. After reveling in its privileged, wildlife-rich location with guided hikes, all-things-nature activities and wild swimming, return to camp for alfresco dinners, yoga classes and stargazing, before cozying up in your safari-inspired tent. Sky-high pines and oaks are your genteel neighbors, but tree-hugging is optional…
Under Canvas Yosemite will open from 16 April to 26 October 2026.

Also
Given the outdoor – and largely undisturbed – nature of this camp, areas of the resort may be difficult if you have limited mobility.

Our Favourite Rooms
Sleeping under the stars takes on new meaning in the Stargazer tent, where your plush bed is canopied by a sky-window (though admiring the night sky can be done from every tent’s terrace). If you’re a bigger clan of family or friends, sprawl out in a Suite tent, before cozying up to regale each other with adventurous antics from your day.
Packing Tips
Make the most of screen-free time and bring a journal, novel or pack of cards for evening entertainment.
Also
There’s no WiFi here, and you won’t find any TVs around, meaning evenings tend to be filled with stargazing and fireside music and s’mores.
Children
Little Smiths are very welcome. The Suite tent is ideal for bigger clans. Family-friendly activities include stargazing, fireside s’mores, games and crafts.

Dress Code
Your waterproofs and walking boots will fly at Embers.
Hotel Restaurant
At Embers, seasonally inspired Californian cuisine is your pre- and post-hiking fuel. The café-style space has a convivial seating area and outside terrace. At breakfast, the Good S’morning (yogurt with granola, banana, chocolate and Graham crackers) and vanilla french toast are day-starting treats. Stock up with grab ’n’ go bites to take on the trails; come evening, dine under black oaks on healthy, local-inspired dishes, such as charcuterie plates, salads and fresh fish. Acoustic live music soundtracks some evenings; help-yourself s’mores are available nightly for toasting.
Hotel Bar
Order Californian wines and local beers from Embers.
Last Orders
Breakfast is available from 7am to 10am; dinner is served between 5pm and 10pm.
Room Service
The camp has a strict no food in tents policy.
Planes
The closest international airport is Fresno, which is a two and a half hour drive from the camp. San Francisco and San José Mineta International Airports are three hours away by road.
Automobiles
Having your own set of wheels will come in handy for reaching the camp. Take advantage of the local YARTS shuttle to avoid the hassle of park permits or finding a park at the major features within the park. There’s a stop right outside the camp, to whisk you in and out, and help you explore this scenic pocket of California with ease. There’s free guest parking at the resort.
Worth Getting Out of Bed For
Your worn-in walking boots will further up their mileage at Under Canvas Yosemite – the camp’s privileged position is a 15-minute drive from the famed national park’s west entrance, Big Oak Flat Information Station, where the park's buses ferry you to and from. Yosemite National Park is renowned for its sky-tickling giant sequoia groves, otherworldly waterfalls, granite cliffs and glaciers. Guest experience coordinators are on-hand to help you book local excursions, such as rock climbing, fly fishing, guided hikes and driving tours, and post-activity relief, in the form of cooling plunges and muscle-loosening laps, can be found at nature-swathed Rainbow Pool. Back at camp, yoga classes, live music, fireside s’mores and stargazing are backdropped by the serene Sierra Nevada setting.
