Lodging in the Yosemite Valley
Lodging in the Yosemite Valley is abundant, yet it's so popular that you often have to book far in advance. Demand for Yosemite's lodging both in the hotels and on the campgrounds is high.
If you want to get a foot in the door for the lodges and hotels, be sure to book in advance during heavy tourist times, such as summer, spring, and early fall. These are some of Yosemite's busiest seasons, so calling at least a couple months or more ahead is ideal.
Yosemite's non-peak times of year are winter, late fall, and early spring. Booking so far in advance isn't quite as necessary, as these are lower traffic times of year. If you visit during these months, there is more lodging availability and less expensive rates for hotels.
