Yosemite National Park has several lodges inside park boundaries. There is a wide variety in Yosemite Valley, a tent cabin village at Tuolumne Meadows, and the Wawona Hotel, at left. They are currently operated by DNC Parks and Resorts. Most lodging is high priced in the extreme, and reservations are generally needed far in advance, as with most national park lodges. Yosemite also has a number of "inholdings", private land within a national park. There are a few areas of lodging in these areas as well.
Outside lodging for Yosemite is located in three main areas. The city of Oakhurst is south of the park, a drive of over an hour to the valley. It is closest to Mariposa Grove and Wawona. The town of Mariposa is west of the park, also an hour drive to the valley, and is closest to El Portal and the west side of the Tioga Road. When the Tioga Road is open, the town of Mammoth Lakes also has a lot of lodging, less than an hour from the Tioga Pass Entrance. It is the closest outside lodging to the Tuolumne Meadows area and the high country.
