YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK VACATIONS
RENT A YOSEMITE AREA CONDO OR RENTAL HOUSE INSTEAD OF A
HOTEL ROOM. Condos and cabins in the Yosemite National Park area
run slightly higher than hotel rooms, but over a week’s stay you’ll save
big on meal expenses. A family of four can easily save $25 or more by
eating breakfast at the condo and even more at lunch.
BRING ALONG ANOTHER FAMILY TO SPLIT THE LODGING COST.
Three and four bedroom cabins can be rented for approximately the
same cost as a nice one-bedroom condo. Bring along friends or
another family to split the accommodation cost.
VISIT YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK BEFORE MEMORIAL WEEKEND OR
AFTER THE FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST. May and September are the best
times to visit. During these months the weather is perfect and crowds
are
much thinner.
CONSIDER RENTING BY OWNER. Many Yosemite Park area cabin
owners rent by owner, meaning you’ll save an average of 25%. This is
the normal percentage charged by rental management companies to
“rent” individual condos. Plus, many management companies are now
tacking on additional cleaning fees, extra deposits, etc. The downside to
renting by owner is that most do not accept credit cards and may not be
able to respond quickly to maintenance issues. There are several
reputable websites listing condos for rent by owner.
DINE OUT BETWEEN 5 P.M. AND 6 P.M.- Many Yosemite area
restaurants offer two-for-one specials between this time period. Check
the local paper and the free newspapers for special offers and coupons.
FILL UP WITH GAS BEFORE YOU GET TO YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK -
Tourist destinations historically have some of the highest gas prices in
the nation. Fill up before you get there or you'll pay a high premium.
EAT OUT FOR LUNCH INSTEAD OF DINNER. Most restaurants offer
lunch specials at half the price of their dinners. Also be aware the wait to
get into restaurants at night during the busy season can be quite long.
