AutoCamp Yosemite, hotel in El Portal

Located in Midpines, 26 miles from Yosemite Arch Rock Entrance, AutoCamp Yosemite provides accommodations with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a terrace.

One of the best experiences we've had so far. Everything is fun for us, the experience, set up of the airstream, the clubhouse and the serenity of the place. The staff are all nice and helpful. This type of camping is so highly recommended. And the place as a whole is very clean. Also a good location if going to Yosemite.

    The place had Tesla fast charging stations.

    The place had Tesla fast charging stations. The property was old but clean. The carpet could use a deep clean. The room had a balcony with a table and some chairs great for drinking with friends or just hang out and relax while looking out the river. The room was really big and spacious with a ref, stove top, coffee maker and some cooking and serving utensils. Actually the property was decent but with no cellular coverage (Tmobile), wifi should have been readily available. Here you have to pay through a 3rd party. Sad! So it’s not great for virtual meetings and stuff.

    The location and staff were excellent!!

    The location and staff were excellent!! The room was clean, the amenities were great as well, the only problem was our TV. Maintenance couldn’t fix it so they gave us the internet for the TV the first night to remedy the situation which was amazing but not the second night which put a damper on things with no Tv to relax the second night.

    The hotel location was good and near to Yosemite.

    The hotel location was good and near to Yosemite. The room was good. The Pizza restaurant was good. We didn't like having to book room service (towels etc and coffee for room) on a daily basis. In our opinion is a throwback to Covid pandemic days, as a management policy to save money not support the customer.

    Close to Yosemite park entrance, just a short drive. Mildly wild river behind the hotel is great. We ate mostly in Yosemite park (very nice dinner at Yosemite Valley Lodge Mountain Dining Room and a great lunch at Ahwahnee hotel bar).

    Stunning location with great views.

    Stunning location with great views. Times quoted for fitness room and swimming opening did not happen. Rooms spacious with good facilities but all looked rather shabby and dated. Rooms need a makeover. Balcony view was amazing.

    It was a great value with the quality evening time. In November, it’s getting dark early, so parents face a problem: how to keep kiddos entertained without much hassle and expense. In Cedar lodge, they have an indoor pool and a game room with table tennis, board games, and more. Truth be told, I had some hard time trying to keep them outside, as they were eager to go back to the hotel’s game room! And the location is very close to Yosemite national park. Also, I liked the lighting around the outdoor pool and the area next to the river

    The location is excellent, 5 minutes walk to Yosemite NP entrance sign, about 25 minutes drive to the Visitor Center. The staff is friendly, good size room and bathroom; the little kitchenette is also very helpful. Just remember to download offline google map in advance, so the GPS can take you to the hotel since there is no reception in the surrounding area, but about 5-10 minutes drive into the park, the reception will come back again.

    Clean, basic, easy check-in at Cedar Lodge. Hot tub is fantastic. Festoon lights are a nice touch. One car space. Located OUTSIDE Yosemite NP, it can be a quick 30 minute drive to the entry gate if you leave early each day (between 6am & 8am). One day we left at 10.15am and it took a full 3 hours in a crawling queue of traffic just to reach the park gate. This was late May, Memorial Day weekend. Big fridge/freezer.

    This hotel is the closest hotel to the eastern entrance of Yosemite NP. The room was big and clean and we appreciated (and used!) the kitchen that was in the room. The patio of our room was HUGE and we had a wonderful view of the Merced River. The staff were all super friendly and I appreciated that they had a grocery area to stock up on supplies.

    The hotel is located in Yosemite Valley about 10 minutes drive. Large rooms. The towels and sheets are no longer the whitest and even with stains. The pool and jacuzzi in the building we slept in are in reasonable condition but not particularly clean either. The restaurant in the hotel is really not tasty, but you have no choice but to eat.

    This property is in a great location for Yosemite National Park. The room was clean and comfortable. Food in the bar was absolutely fine. There is a little shop off the reception where you can get simple groceries. Or there is another store about 4 miles up the road towards the park. You can get fuel there too.

    Cedar lodge is a 30-40 minute drive to Yosemite's entrance. Big, spacious rooms which are quite old but in good condition. Beds are comfortable and quiet. Parking is free right outside your door. An excellent accommodation to visit Yosemite (apart from the wifi)!

    The room was spacious with a nice bathroom and comfortable beds. Our daughter enjoyed the bear statues around the property. The location was very convenient on the road to Yosemite National Park - very easy and get up and go in the morning.

    The room was clean, comfortable and well stocked with amenties for prolonged stays. The store was convenient since the hotel isn't close to a town if supplies are needed. The location is excellent for traveling into Yosemite.
