Under Canvas Yosemite
- Location: Yosemite region, California, United States
- Why it’s notable: Under Canvas Yosemite will be the brand’s first California property, set across 85 acres of forest just 10 minutes from the Big Oak Flat entrance. The safari-style tents come with king beds, West Elm furnishings, and private bathrooms, and the camp’s central tent will serve café-style meals, California wines, and craft beers. Within walking distance of the tents are forest trails and a natural swimming hole popular with families in warmer months.
- Type of traveler who will love this hotel: Families and couples who want to stay close to Yosemite while camping in comfort.
- What’s nearby: The camp is just outside the park’s west entrance, a short ride from scenic overlooks such as Tunnel View and Yosemite Valley. Within the park, iconic landmarks including El Capitan, Half Dome, and Yosemite Falls are reachable by car or shuttle, and nearby Groveland offers cafés, markets, and local shops for provisioning before or after park visits.
- Opening: April 2026
