Curry Village Yosemite

Curry Village Yosemite

Also known as Camp Curry, the Curry Village Yosemite is one of the largest lodging facilities available in Yosemite Valley. It was founded in 1899 by the two school teachers from Indiana, David and Jenny Curry. The idea for the foundation actually came out when the pair recognized that they could not afford the fare of the coach running into the Yosemite National Park and the charge for lodging in the park. Knowing that other visitors may also realize such fact, they established the Curry Village Yosemite, offering affordable lodging rates.

Curry Village Yosemite currently offers a wide selection of lodging options. Included in the list are motels, cabins that are equipped and not equipped with private restrooms, and a few tent cabins without plumbing.
