where to stay: yosemite national park

In the heart of Yosemite Valley, over 400 canvas tents in a little place called Camp Curry offer heaters and beds with all the amenities (including electricity) to campers year round. They're especially cozy during the colder months, and I highly recommend booking in advance for an autumn getaway. Bear lockers are provided for each unit, and it's the perfect place to stay when you're teaming up with friends and going dutch on the cost at Curry Village (about $100 for 4 people). The tents include towels and access to hot showers and bathrooms - and is conveniently located next to the market and select restaurants serving delicious pizza till late, and hot chili for those colder nights. Curry Village is in such a great area - with easy access to great trailheads and all the hot spots in Yosemite. Now is the perfect time to visit to see the leaves turn colors! You should go.
