Learn more about El Portal

At the western gateway to Yosemite, this tiny mountain community offers front-row access to natural wonders without the park's crowds. The rushing Merced River provides a soundtrack for morning coffee at El Portal Market before heading into the park. Grab hiking advice from locals who casually mention Half Dome as if discussing a neighborhood stroll. Summer evenings find residents cooling off in swimming holes that tourists rarely discover. The lack of resort amenities is precisely the point - this is where park employees and climbers gather to trade stories over beers. For the best experience, book a riverside cabin and fall asleep to the sound of water tumbling over ancient granite.

AutoCamp Yosemite

AutoCamp Yosemite

10/10 Excellent
"This was our first AutoCamp stay… and it won’t be our last. The price is a splurge for us but to date, it is by far our favorite stay on our two week trip - 10 different lodgings. Bre checked us in and showed us our tent. She was absolutely fabulous… like we were genuinely sad she had to work and couldn’t just hangout with us. The adventure tent is just enough outdoors without the having hard part of camping. The bed was to die for… we had a king-size bed. We ate pizza from the kitchen, bought/drank a bottle of wine, and listened to live music. We thought the music was superb. The store is small but extremely well stocked. We bought a s’mores kit and made smores over a fire after dinner. The restrooms are separate, but very close, air conditioned, and well-lit at night."
