Under Canvas Yosemite
Under Canvas Yosemite, located on 80 acres of forested mountainside in California’s Sierra Nevada just 10 minutes from Yosemite National Park’s Big Oak Flat entrance, offers upscale safari-style glamping accommodations designed to connect guests with nature.
The camp features canvas tents with king-size beds, private ensuite bathrooms with hot showers, and decks overlooking the surrounding forest landscape. Guests can gather in the central lobby tent for lounge seating and café-style dining, while a nearby Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System (YARTS) stop provides convenient, car-free access to Yosemite Valley and its iconic landmarks.
As California’s first DarkSky Approved Lodging, Under Canvas Yosemite demonstrates a strong commitment to protecting the natural night environment. The property underwent a comprehensive assessment to ensure all exterior lighting meets DarkSky’s rigorous standards, minimizing light pollution and safeguarding the surrounding nocturnal ecosystem. Combined with the Sierra Nevada’s elevation and low ambient light, the site offers exceptional opportunities for guests to experience clear, star-filled skies.
Under Canvas Yosemite’s dedication to responsible outdoor lighting and thoughtful outdoor programming—including nightly campfires, live music, yoga sessions, and guided adventures through the on-site Adventure Concierge—creates an immersive stay that encourages guests to reconnect with nature both during the day and under the night sky.
