Curry Village, also known as Camp Curry, is located in the Yosemite Valley of Yosemite National Park. Curry Village may be considered the hub of Yosemite Valley.
History
In 1899 David and Jenny Curry opened a tented camp so that visitors could enjoy the beauty of Yosemite for a modest price. They advertised "a good bed and clean napkin with every meal" for just $2 a day. Camp Curry celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1999 and is still offers park visitors comfortable, inexpensive lodging in the shadow of the spectacular Glacier Point and Half Dome.
Location
Curry Village sits in an ideal wooded area in Yosemite Valley directly beneath Glacier Point and next to the Merced River with stunning views of Half Dome. Mirror Lake is a short walk from the camp as is Yosemite Falls.
Tips
- Bring torches as there are only a few lights in the camp after dark
- During the summer months the camp is warm at night but freezing in the morning. Bring a jumper
- The tent area can get a little noisy at night but there is a noise curfew after 10pm
Tips (U.S English Translation
- Bring a flashlight to use after dark. Better, yet, bring an LED headlamp.
- Bring a sweater. Mornings can be cold here. A Polar fleece pullover or jacket would be ideal.
Addendum
- Do not store food in tents, tent cabins or in your car's trunk (that's the boot if you're British). Bears will find it.
