🏞️ Yosemite Travel Guide: Glamping in Autocamp

I know I said I was closing out this series, but last weekend (on our 6th visit to Yosemite 🥰) we stayed at a place that has been sitting on our accommodation bucketlist for soooo long now: AUTOCAMP.

In case you haven't heard of this US based boutique glamping chain, Autocamp currently has several properties in the US with Airstreams for rooms. They have outposts in Yosemite, Russian River Valley, Cape Cod, Catskills, Joshua Tree to name a few! I've always been curious about these aesthetic airstreams and was so excited to finally try "living" in one.

YOSEMITE AUTOCAMP

⭐️ Location: 6323 CA-140, Midpines, CA 95345

⭐️ Distance from Yosemite: 38 min drive (25.7 miles)

There are a few accommodation types to choose from but we stayed in a Classic Airstream Suite (the most basic type) and were about 10 feet away from other airstreams - very much like how you would probably stay in a typical RV park.

The actual property however, is huge with a BEAUTIFUL clubhouse, a central lagoon, a heated pool, some bikes, and several footpaths that lead to areas further out where Premium Airstreams have more privacy (-- obviously more $$). From their website, you'll see the range is US$260-$620 for a nightly stay.

This is (IMO) a very luxe place to stay for a trip to a national park or for any trip for that matter, so we planned it in a way to make the most out of our money's worth! Here's how:

⭐️ We booked 6mos in advance (on Black Friday no less) and secured a sweet deal

⭐️ We stayed from Thursday to Saturday to avoid the weekend fees

⭐️ Our total was US$544 / 2 nights!

⭐️ + Pet Fee: $70 but comes with a pack of organic snacks, a blanket, and a bowl

⭐️ We booked a Classic Airstream (most basic tier) and spent alot of time enjoying the amenities (heated pool, clubhouse with all day free tea+coffee, free granola cereal at breakfast) and a quick to Yosemite NP of course!

⭐️ We chose to book when we didn't have much planned for Yosemite NP itself (we only stayed 6hrs at the park and went straight back for the rest of the afternoon)

ALSO - being there on a THURSDAY: bliss. There were very few people around. And although we didn't pay extra for a Premium Airstream we got very lucky with the Classic Airstream we got (Suite No 8) which had a nicely sized tree giving us shade and added privacy, PLUS it was located along the outer edge which was right next to a hill (= even MORE privacy!). We were there by 12noon and they also let us check in 4 hours early. Total jackpot.

So for what we paid, the amenities, the beautiful property, and the LUCKY spot we got this was definitely worth it in my opinion.

Have you stayed at an Autocamp before? Would you??

AutoCamp Yosemite
2023/5/18 Edited to

... Read moreWhile my main article focused on the Airstream suite and booking hacks, I really wanted to share more about another highlight of our Autocamp Yosemite experience: the incredible campfire setup! After a day exploring Yosemite National Park, there’s nothing quite like returning to a cozy fire. Each Airstream typically comes with its own private fire pit, and this was a game-changer for our glamping trip. Imagine sitting under the stars, the crisp mountain air around you, and a crackling fire providing warmth and ambiance. It truly elevates the entire stay, making it feel less like a hotel and more like a luxury camping adventure. Autocamp makes it super easy to enjoy a campfire. You can purchase firewood bundles right at the General Store on site, along with s'mores kits – a must-have, in my opinion! We loved roasting marshmallows and telling stories, the perfect end to our evenings. The fire pits are well-maintained and designed for safety, which was a huge plus for us. It really added to the serenity and privacy we got with our well-placed Airstream (Suite No. 8 was a jackpot!). The smell of burning wood, the starry sky, and the quiet hum of nature made for unforgettable memories. It's an experience that truly differentiates Autocamp from a standard hotel stay and perfectly embodies the glamping spirit. Beyond the individual fire pits, Autocamp Yosemite also features communal outdoor spaces, including a larger fire pit area near the clubhouse. This is a fantastic spot if you're looking to socialize a bit or just enjoy a bigger, more roaring fire. We saw families gathered there, kids laughing, and couples enjoying a quiet moment. It's a testament to Autocamp's thoughtful design, offering both solitude and community. Speaking of other locations, it's worth noting that the Autocamp brand, with its distinctive Airstream accommodations and focus on outdoor amenities, extends to other beautiful destinations across the US. While my trip was to Autocamp Yosemite, I've heard amazing things about Autocamp Cape Cod, for example. Each location seems to embrace its unique surroundings while maintaining that signature Autocamp blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. They all seem to prioritize creating spaces where you can genuinely connect with nature, whether it's the mountains of Yosemite or the coastal charm of Cape Cod, often with that central theme of outdoor relaxation like their inviting fire pits. For anyone planning a visit, I highly recommend dedicating some time to simply relax by your fire pit. It's not just about warmth; it’s about creating those quintessential glamping memories. Don't forget your favorite beverage, maybe a good book, and definitely those s'mores supplies. It turned our already wonderful Airstream stay into something truly magical. It’s these small details that make Autocamp Yosemite a truly worthwhile experience, especially when you’re looking for a blend of comfort and authentic outdoor adventure without sacrificing those creature comforts. The outdoor fire pit area, as seen in some of the collages, really is a central part of the experience, offering that perfect blend of nature and luxury.
