You don’t have to come with kids in tow to stay at Evergreen Lodge, but with summer camp vibes and cabins large enough for the whole family, it’ll be a whole lot more fun if you do. A total of 88 cottages spread across 20 acres of towering pines come in different sizes and shapes, from the four-person deluxe cabin to the 2,500-square-foot, three bedroom John Muir House (for a more rustic option, try the custom tent sites). But really, the cabins are just a place to lay your head. From forest disc golf and ropes courses, to campfire singalongs and nature crafts, to yoga and bocce ball, the activities here are virtually endless. Don’t worry, grown-ups, there are a few things just for you too, including a full-service pool bar, massages, and live music.

Yosemite National Park’s majestic beauty should mesmerize even jaded teens. Set in a forest right near the park’s entrance, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better base camp than Evergreen Lodge. Guests stay in rustic cabins equipped with cast iron gas fireplaces, fluffy pillows, and Pendleton blankets. There’s a wicker basket filled with nostalgic games like Twister and practical perks such as a wooden stepstool to give tiny travelers a boost. Hammocks swaying between tall pines, a saltwater swimming pool, and a playground offer hours of fun. In the evening, campfire sing-alongs with gooey s’mores, stargazing, and bingo are old-school diversions.

The air smelled like a pine candle, the birds were chirping and the leaves crunching under my feet – I knew instantly that this would be one of my favorite places to stay near Yosemite on future trips.
