“Great Time At Currey Village!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We'd been on a business trip for a week in San Francisco and then spent 3 nights in Curry Village. Absolutely loved it! We camp at home anyway, but having the heat in the tent made it perfect (dropped to about 30 one night and that would have been a bit chilly absent heat and just a couple wool blankets). Arrival was great, friendly staff at every turn. Bathroom facilities were not crowded and always clean. Other than early spring, I'm not sure when I'd want to be in the valley. Our trip ended on Saturday and the place was absolutely packed--a huge contrast to our first couple days. We had great access to trails and transportation. I generally hate riding buses and trams but the Valley has a great system. It runs in both directions, very comfortable and efficient.

We bought food on the way in and didn't buy any meals while there, although we did replenish our provisions at significant expense (although less than the available eatery options) at the Valley grocery. If you expect to be there in late October you should plan to bring food unless you want to eat either pizza or the buffet. Those are your only choices. Since we'd stocked up on the way in, it was not an issue. However, if you are staying 3 or 4 nights that might be an inconvenience. There is one other option at a lodge in the Valley as well, but not at Curry. We didn't care.

If you have time, you must make the drive to the Tuolomne Meadows. It's about an hour and half drive from Curry, but plenty of unbelievable places to stop along the way and the meadows area is unbelievable. Make sure to hike down to the Twin Bridges. We were just amazed!

It is not a hotel room, it's a tent. Spend your days outside and use the tent to get your sleep. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would go back in a heartbeat! Highly recommend Yosemite in October, absolutely beautiful and, based on our experience and what we heard from others, the least crowded time of year.

Room Tip: If you are going to be there in October (and probably early spring) you'll need a heated tent un...

“you know what to expect...”

Stayed there for 1 night last september - it was an emergency accomodation, as I didn't bother making reservations upfront - and this was peak season.

I was really relieved when I showed upat reception and they told that they had some tent-cabins available.

Cabin was basic - but this is sth you know and expect when you go there. Shared bathrooms & showers (those curtains need replacing please...), here again - you know upfront - no problem for me...

There is a huge self servie restaurant and some take away counters outside the restaurant.

I did enjoy my stay at te Curry village and would defintely go back.

Room Tip: just select a tent cabin and listen to nature when slowly falling asleep...

“An experience of a life time”

My husband and I stayed in a deluxe tent for two nights as part of our three week honeymoon.

Wow is all I can say.

I have never seen such breath taking beauty and met such interesting people.

We really enjoyed staying in the tent. You share bathroom facilities with the rest of the camp but that was no hassle. The facilities were clean and there was always hot water. Remember to use your bear box so you don't get a visitor in the night!

There were plenty of places to eat and drink. Not amazing quality but good value for money and plentiful.

We hiked to the half dome on our second day which was a once in a lifetime experience. Take plenty of water and snacks as it is a long and draining hike, but well worth it! We set out at about 7am and made it back around 3ish! If you want to climb the dome you need to buy a permit, we didn't know that so missed out there.

We did run out of water about half way but you can fill your camel packs from the pure water lakes you will pass by.

I found the staff really helpful as I had somehow managed to book two tents due to credit card issues, but they simply refunded me the extra tent without a quibble!

I think staying in the tent really added to the experience and you were right in the heart of the park.

When you come into the park through the tunnel pull over and take a look at the waterfall. We nearly crashed trying to look at it, it will take your breath away!

“spacious, warm cabins”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

We stayed in the Curry Village cabins with bath over Christmas. It's a wonderful time to be in Yosemite, and the Curry Village cabins are a good place to stay. The weather was cold but the cabins were very warm. It was good not to have to leave the cabin to get to the bathroom - definitely worth paying for. The cabins were very clean. Beds were okay, not great. I suppose Yosemite Lodge might be a better place to stay if you want to be closer to good food, but we enjoyed the walk or bus ride from Curry to the Lodge.

Room Tip: Choose one with a bathroom, especially if you are there in the winter and don't want to freeze i...

“Basic”

This place was very basic as expected. Our tent wasn’t closing properly, the heating system was making a lot of noises and it was unbearable and during the night there were various noises so we didn’t sleep much. The bathroom & showers weren’t that bad. It was cheap so I didn’t expect much from these tents. Next time I won’t even think about staying here. We stayed for 2 nights. The buffet dinner was organized properly, it was cheap and the food was good. Yosemite is a very nice place and we really enjoyed going around this place, we enjoyed the hikes and seeing various animals. On the whole our visit here was fun and exciting.
