Our family stayed for 3 days at Housekeeping camp last year. The location is very good but the camp needs updating. The best thing about housekeeping is the location, you are able to cook and it has a fire pit. The down side is it is old and the beds are falling apart. The bunk beds are dangerous since their...

This place is in the middle of Yosemite valley. The best place to live other than tents. rooms have electricity. place for showers, small store nearby(over expensive but can't complain). Yosemity falls are at walking distance. This place is always pack and tough to get reservation if not booked in way advance. there is a place for barbecue just outside... More

We didn't expect anything actually and that is exactly what we got haha! The prices of all accomodations in Yosemite are sky-high, so we decided to book a hut here, which was also actually really pricey (about $ 100 dollars per night). It is really a HUT, but then made of stone with one side open, which you can "close"... More

We stayed at Housekeeping Camp at the end of August. It was not too busy or crowded, in fact I was able to make the reservation about a week in advance. I read tons of reviews about Housekeeping Camp and thought I knew what to expect. The most negative reviews were that it was rustic and smokey from all of... More

Stayed here for 2 nights while visiting Yosemite during a 3 week tour of California. Firstly I have to say Yosemite is breath taking and an absolutely must-see place. Loved it. If you book Housekeeping Camp be prepared for rough and ready camping - 3 brick walls and plastic sheeting for the roof and 4th wall/door way. Thats it. No... More

I love, love, love the Housekeeping Tents in the Yosemite Valley. They are located in the most beautiful part of the Valley, next to the running river, just below the roaring falls, two safe beaches with sand, and many, many walking/biking paths. Right across the street from the free bus that takes you all over the Valley. But most important... More

We were on a road trip (from the UK) of California for three weeks and visited Yosemite after our first 4 nights for a three night stay at Housekeeping Camp. We couldn't have loved Yosemite more - so very beautiful and I am very glad we stayed at Housekeeping Camp due to the proximity of everything. Loved the squirrels and... More

It was late September and we stayed at Housekeeping Camp on the river and it was fantastic. Even if you have never really camped out (and this isn't exactly roughing it), it is a good place to experience camping with kids. Yes, it is a little old but we found it clean and enjoyable. The walls of the units are... More

Spent two nights here at the end of September. Yes it is basic, and if it wasn't for the fact that the weather was superb I am not sure what I might be saying. I have camped in many places but this way down my list of happy memories - except for the fantastic views and sunsets. The staff in... More

Really enjoyed my first visit to Housekeeping Camp over Labor Day Weekend. The place was alive with families, and everyone was having a good time. While the accommodations were pretty rustic, I was surprised how comfortable and easy camping here was with a group of people. I would come back in a heartbeat. It was such a fun and relaxed... More
