Reviews of Yosemite National Park
Reviewed by MountainMan on November 22, 2005
(2 out of 6 members found this review useful.)I didn't actually camp here (it was raining during the time we were there) but we did stay in the Ahwahnee hotel and it was amazing. Perhaps one of the finest properties owned by the National Park Service. Even if you aren't staying at the Ahwahnee, you should at least check it out and consider eating a meal in the dining room.
