On your way back take the paved road down. Park at the lot and follow the signs for Washburn Trail to hike into Mariposa Grove.
Instead, you have to hike in! Don’t worry, it’s not too hard. But currently, during 2020 times, the shuttle bus is shutdown. Normally there is a shuttle bus that takes you from the parking lot up 2 miles to the grove’s entrance. It’s home to some of the tallest Giant Sequoias in the entire world and take my word for it – they are simply STUNNING to see in person. Located just on the other side of the South Gate Entrance near Oakhurst is Mariposa Grove, a beautiful grove of giant sequoias.

Oh, and they’re dog friendly, too! You can learn more via my full review post on Sierra Meadows here. On the side they have lights, outlets, heat, A/C, wifi, even fridges and a coffee stand.īathrooms are located in the shower building which is just a 30 second walk from the cabins. Holy cow, Sierra Meadows has some the coolest glamping cabins you could possibly stay at near Yosemite!! (Actually, some of the coolest glamping in all of California in my opinion.) These glamping huts are super cute and chic. There’s are my favorite places to stay in Oakhurst area: Sierra Meadows Glamping Cabins No matter the time of year I’m visiting Yosemite, I want to end the day curled up either on a peaceful porch or next to a cabin fire. Of course there are lot of hotels here in Oakhurst, but there’s just something about the mountains that calls for a cool cabin or rustic lodge.
One of the main highlights of staying in Oakhurst vs a different entrance town is that it’s super close to Mariposa Grove, which is home to some of the oldest Giant Sequoias in the United States (and the world, actually.) It’s also a bit easier to access Glacier Point and Taft Point within Yosemite National Park from the Oakhurst side if those viewpoints are on your to-do list. There are 3 main entrances to Yosemite (Groveland, Mariposa and Oakhurst), so there’s a lot of fun attractions in this cute town for you to do inbetween national park adventures. It’s next door to Bass Lake, and about 30 minutes from Mariposa, another popular park entrance town. Oakhurst is located in Yosemite Madera County just 14 miles outside the South Gate to Yosemite National Park. Got a question about Oakhurst or Yosemite that you need answered quickly?
