California's national parks are dotted with campgrounds where you have your pick of accommodations - ranging from a tent you supply yourself to a luxury cabin. But only a few places let you sleep as you can at Yosemite Pines RV Resort and Family Lodge, on the border of the famous park - under the stars in an 1800s-style covered wagon. Step back in time and see what this unique campground has to offer.
The view of Yosemite is stunning no matter the season, so it's not surprising many people decide to make camp in the great outdoors.
Yosemite Pines RV Resort and Family Lodging is a campground that takes you back in time, starting with the rustic general store where you check in.
If you want the full Yosemite Pines experience, there's no better way than staying in one of their unique glamping options - covered wagons!
The wagons come in two sizes, starting with the Conestoga Wagon 1. This traditional wagon sleeps four.
Inside, you'll find a king-size bed, bunk beds, and all the modern conveniences including a microwave and refrigerator.
Coming with a bigger family? The Conestoga Wagon 2 sleeps six and will give you more room to breathe under its towering ceiling.
Inside, you'll find two bunk beds alongside the king and all the same conveniences. Both wagons even include a picnic table and barbecue ring for cookouts.
If you want a more traditional camping experience, the campgrounds will let you pitch your own tent for a reasonable fee.
And if you want the ultimate glamping experience, the popular luxury cabins will give you the best view of the park with all the comforts of a high-end hotel.
Yosemite Pines is alive in more ways than one - the friendly llamas that are kept on-site are a favorite of guests.
Have you ever slept in a covered wagon? What's your favorite place to camp in Northern California? If you want to try covered-wagon camping for yourself, the fleet at Yosemite Pines goes fast.
