Curry Village tent cabin

Question

I'm looking for more details on the tent cabins in Curry Village. Specifically, how far is a cabin from the bathrooms? My husband usually needs to get up at night and is dubious about that aspect of the visit.

Answer

The tent cabins at Curry Village in Yosemite National Park are a unique option, providing a canvas-sided cabin with a sturdy frame, a bed with linens, and a small deck area. They offer a more comfortable camping experience without being fully enclosed like a standard hotel room.

Regarding proximity to bathrooms, Curry Village has shared restroom facilities dispersed throughout the village. The distance from your tent cabin to the nearest restroom can vary depending on which section of Curry Village you are assigned, as cabins are arranged in clusters.

Most tent cabins are generally within a 2–5 minute walk to the nearest restroom.
Some clusters might be slightly further, up to 5–7 minutes away, but all are still walkable on the well-maintained paths.
Restrooms are standard facilities with sinks, flush toilets, and seasonal showers. Not all clusters have showers within the immediate walking distance, but the main shower facility is usually within a 5–10 minute walk.

Additional details to consider for your husband’s comfort:

Paths are well-lit at night but can be uneven, so a flashlight or headlamp is recommended for late-night bathroom trips.
If your husband prefers minimal walking, requesting a cabin closer to the main bathroom clusters at the time of booking may be helpful. You can contact Yosemite lodging directly to inquire about specific cabin locations.
Since these are shared facilities, evenings and mornings can be busier, so planning accordingly for peak usage times is advisable.

Overall, the tent cabins provide a convenient experience for campers who want the outdoor ambiance with some comfort, but for those who prefer immediate bathroom access at any hour, being mindful of cabin placement and bringing a flashlight is recommended.
