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.

"We were upgraded from a one room cabin to a two bedroom which was a nice surprise. The cabin was very clean. The amenities were nice. I wish that the cabins had a microwave. It would be nice to have more dining options as the restaurant was expensive."

"Honestly a complete surprise. The listing in Hotels.com didn’t really do it justice and the location from the park entrance to Yosemite looked far. It’s actually amazing this place. Proper glamping. The airstreams are fantastic. So well fitted out with a private patio and fire pit. The club house is super elevated with a great store and bar kitchen. Super Americana vibe and indoor outdoor fire pit and late night pool and small lake and wildlife all adds to it. We bought logs and fire kit a s’mores kit and some drinks sat at our airstream and had the real experience. Ordered a pizza and snacks and in the morning had a nice breakfast burrito. Really good value and didn’t feel priced out at all. They even told us about some nice grocery stores near by. Was a group s’mores night being held. I saw a yoga class advertised. The bed and bathroom in the airstream were great. I couldn’t recommend enough."
