Why Evergreen works as a basecamp for a Yosemite road trip

If Yosemite is one stop on a bigger California road trip, it helps to have a base you do not have to leave at the end of the day. That is pretty much what Evergreen is built for.

The cabins are spread across 20 wooded acres just off Highway 120, close to the Big Oak Flat and Hetch Hetchy entrances, so you are minutes from the park but tucked into the forest instead of parked on a strip. Everything you need is on site: a restaurant and tavern so you are not driving out for dinner, a pool, and a recreation team that can map out your park days and point you at the right trailheads.

Roll in, drop your bags, and let the planning be someone else's job for a few days. Ask us how to work a stay into your route.
