Under Canvas Yosemite Opens Luxury Glamping Near Park

Under Canvas Yosemite, a new luxury glamping property, has opened its doors just outside Yosemite National Park, offering an upscale outdoor accommodation option. This expansion by Under Canvas aims to provide an "experiential travel" experience that blends hotel amenities with a natural setting. The property is located approximately three hours east of the San Francisco Bay area, a short drive from the Big Oak Flat park entrance.

Upon arrival, guests check in at a "lobby tent" where staff provide information on rules, amenities, and daily activities. A key aspect of the Under Canvas experience is its emphasis on disconnecting from technology; the property does not offer Wi-Fi, and cell service is unavailable. Guests are also reminded that despite the luxurious setup, it is still a camping environment. Due to the presence of wildlife, food is not permitted inside the tents, with snacks required to be stored in vehicles or a communal bear-safe shed.

The parking area is situated about a 10-minute walk from the main reception and tents. For guests who prefer not to walk the distance, especially down a steep hill, staff are available to provide escorts to the tents via golf cart. This service highlights the blend of convenience and the rustic nature of the glamping experience. The tents themselves are designed to offer comfort and a connection to the natural surroundings, positioning Under Canvas Yosemite as a notable new option for travelers seeking a unique stay near one of California's most iconic national parks.
