Visiting Yosemite was an unforgettable experience for my family and I. It is so amazingly beautiful, it is my absolute favorite national park so far. We visited the park during “Pandemic August”, so we definitely needed a day pass reservation to even get into the park. It was super-difficult trying to get this day pass reservation as they are only allowing a small percentage of people obtain this pass. I was constantly checking the reservation system and lucked out.
Getting the day pass reservation was one thing. Where to stay was another challenge. We could not secure a camping site due to the limitations placed for this as well. So, we ended up staying at Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites in Oakhurst, California. https://www.yosemitesouthgate.com/ This was about 25 minutes away from the entrance to Yosemite National Park. But, it was in a very nice location as it was close to many restaurants and shops within walking distance.
