Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort
The budget Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort is an interesting combination of hostel, campground, and mountain retreat that’s nestled on a peaceful hillside an hour outside Yosemite National Park. Accommodations range from Spartan dorms and tent cabins with shared bathrooms to spacious and individually decorated cabins with private bathrooms. While different, they’re all clean and well maintained. Amenities include a lovely spa with treatment rooms, sauna, and whirlpool (surprising at this pearl level), and a café/bar that serves good food at reasonable prices all day. While a few ADA-accessible rooms exist, access to most sleeping quarters involves climbing steps or steep paths — some shared bathrooms are even a five-minute walk. Rates are attractive for an area where options are often limited and pricey. Travelers may also want to consider the nearby Cedar Lodge, another affordable option.
