Tuolumne Meadows Lodge Details

Perched at 8,700 feet near Tioga Road, Tuolumne Meadows Lodge provides a classic high-country escape in Yosemite National Park. This seasonal lodge, open from mid-June to mid-September, features 69 canvas tent cabins designed for an authentic, unplugged Yosemite adventure. Each cabin includes a cozy wood-burning stove, providing warmth against the mountain chill. Staying here means embracing simplicity; cabins forgo electricity, TVs, and phones, encouraging connection with nature. Guests share centrally located showers and restrooms, and gather for meals in the riverside dining tent, enjoying hearty breakfast and dinner spreads after a day of exploration. From your base, easily access the Tuolumne River and expansive Meadows, ideal for hiking and backpacking. Free ranger-led programs offer deeper insights into this stunning alpine environment.
