Autocamp Yosemite

Yosemite National Park, California

Virgin rating

The hotel

If you're going to do a Californian road trip, you might as well do it in style right? And staying in an iconic air stream would fit that bill for sure. Think of it as camping, but still with a nice warm shower and a comfy bed to sleep in - oh and a fully functional kitchenette so you can whip up a storm and enjoy it out on your private deck. There's also a lovely pool to enjoy and weekly activities incuding yoga and live music, and if you don't fancy cooking each night - The Kitchen is on hand for you to grab a bite to eat or a nice glass of wine (after all, we are in California). Most importantly of all though, this is a great base for visiting Yosemite National Park. You're just 26 miles from Yosemite National Park's Arch Rock Entrance Station, so you can easily take a dip in the Merced River, chase waterfalls through Yosemite Valley, or explore the historic town of Mariposa.

Not worth the cost! We stayed here a couple of years ago in May and the experience was great. The property (aside from clubhouse) is not maintained well and there was a ton a garbage laying around and under our airstream (chicken bones, broken toys, glass, beer bottle tops) and grease or oil under the picnic table.

Not worth the cost! We stayed here a couple of years ago in May and the experience was great. The property (aside from clubhouse) is not maintained well and there was a ton a garbage laying around and under our airstream (chicken bones, broken toys, glass, beer bottle tops) and grease or oil under the picnic table. The lake was dried up (granted it’s September but it looked bad). At night everything felt better but during the day was pretty ick. They don’t have any sandwiches or things that can be easily packed for hiking at the cafe/store- menu is pizza, Mac and cheese, salads etc and we were told to try town for that stuff which felt inconvenient. We were there for 2 nights and the bill was over 1K - definitely would stay in the park next time. Read less

Absolute TRASH. My boyfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights and it was the worst camping/hotel experience I’ve ever had. 1. When we first arrived, we asked the bartender if there was a fountain where we could fill up our water bottles or purchase a case of water since we were staying in one of their “luxury tents”.

Absolute TRASH. My boyfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights and it was the worst camping/hotel experience I’ve ever had. 1. When we first arrived, we asked the bartender if there was a fountain where we could fill up our water bottles or purchase a case of water since we were staying in one of their “luxury tents”. He looked at us with distain and said this is a “higher class or boutiquey type of place” and directed us to the nearest riteaid to purchase. 2. We were told that the communal bathrooms and showers were cleaned daily. However, every single night there were clumps of hair on the ground and the showers REEKED of mold. 2 out of the 4 nights that I took a shower the body wash and towels were completely out. On top of that, the showers do not lock, so there were multiple occasions where little kids would randomly open the door when I was showering. 3. The wifi is TERRIBLE. It turns off every two minutes. There is no phone service on the camp grounds so having wifi was crucial. 4. There was a portable toilet located near our tent which we relied on since our tent was located far away from the club house. However, the door to the bathroom would accidentally stay locked if someone closed it too hard. One night, I had to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and the bathroom door was locked. I knocked and no one was in there. I ended up peeing outside our tent since I had to go so bad. This was UNACCEPTABLE. I went to check the next day and the bathroom door was STILL fixed shut. 5. We stayed here during Labor Day weekend so our tent would reach high 90’s during the day. Our portable AC unit stopped blowing cold air so it was just a sauna until 8pm. If the prices don’t turn you off from this place I beg that this review does. My review is overlooking how the airstreams and tents are packed on top of each other or how ever overpriced everything is ($18 for a 2 pack of smores kit). However the hospitality, cleanliness, and overall accessibility of this place is UNACCEPTABLE. Read less

Good concept overall but not exactly what it's marketed to be as "luxury." Our tent was very cozy and comfy, and the clubhouse was pretty, especially in the evening with all the lights, but that's about it for the good. Most of the tents and airstreams are VERY close together so it's noisy with little privacy. We lucked out and got a tent that… Read more
Good concept overall but not exactly what it's marketed to be as "luxury." Our tent was very cozy and comfy, and the clubhouse was pretty, especially in the evening with all the lights, but that's about it for the good. Most of the tents and airstreams are VERY close together so it's noisy with little privacy. We lucked out and got a tent that was a bit separated from the rest, but that seemed rare, so call to book and request a tent or airstream that has some privacy if possible. They do not let you drive to your campsite, and some of them are far away and uphill from the front desk, so be prepared to lug all of your stuff in. On a hot day, with lots of bags, that is NOT enjoyable. It would be great if they had staff to assist with bags. They have golf carts onsite for Maintenace. Maybe they should use those to help guests transport their things. The coffee available in the clubhouse is just basic drip coffee and it was AWFUL, so bring your own coffeemaker if you are a coffee lover. The cocktails at happy hour are pre-mixed and not good. The pillows provided are small, hard and lumpy, so bring your own pillow. They make it sounds like your tent is fully stocked with kitchen necessities, but really all you get is a cast iron skillet, a spatula, and a couple paper plates and plastic forks, so if you plan on cooking at your tent, bring pots and supplies. Foil is ten bux at the clubhouse so definitely bring that. The main bathrooms are nice, but kind of run down and dirty towels were overflowing out of the bin every time I went in, so janitorial services could be better. All in all, we had a nice time, but I cannot justify the prices. Read less

The ready to stay camping concept is great. Everything is prepared for the stay in comfort. We used the tent option as the airstreams were all booked. The sleeping was great.

The ready to stay camping concept is great. Everything is prepared for the stay in comfort. We used the tent option as the airstreams were all booked. The sleeping was great. It had an electric blanket for cool nights. There was even an ac unit plus a separate electric radiator. As far as the facilities there is a public shower/restroom with fresh towels, all needed cosmetics and hairdriers. We did not experience any queues to the shower as it is mainly used by the tent users. Airstreams are equiped with showers. Most of the tents are located within 2-3 minutes walk from the main building. The main building also offers a small convenience store, a bar with some choice of warm food. We loved the pool. Above all the service was great as well. Read less

Much better than expected. After reading a few reviews I had some doubts about our stay at AutoCamp and even looked to change my reservation for an Airbnb. However I am glad I stuck to my original plan. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the airstream was clean, cool and comfortable. It would be a little tight for a family of four. We… Read more
Much better than expected. After reading a few reviews I had some doubts about our stay at AutoCamp and even looked to change my reservation for an Airbnb. However I am glad I stuck to my original plan. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the airstream was clean, cool and comfortable. It would be a little tight for a family of four. We didn’t do any of the activities on offer but received regular WhatsApp messages with what was happening e.g Yoga, movies, art etc. The location is convenient to enter Yosemite and there’s a small town nearby. A great place to stay for a few days. It was also very cool and novel to stay in an airstream! Read less
