The Yosemite Bug is a rustic mountain resort 25 miles from Yosemite Valley. Located on a forested 20-acre hillside complex, the Bug is relaxed and sociable but well run. In addition to the hostel kitchen, the lodge sports a restaurant that has a great reputation locally for value. Our desk staff are well versed about activities and hikes in Yosemite Valley, Sequoia Groves and Tuolumne Meadows. The Merced Wild and Scenic Area is 3 miles away and features white-water in spring and great summer swimming. Near the hostel itself is a large spring swimming hole and Mariposa Gold Town, 10 miles back. more » « less

On our visit to Yosemite Nat. Park we stayed at the 'Yosemite Bug'. It was a hostel style place with different options of accomodation. We chose the bedroom with shared bathroom mainly for the cost. The atmosphere was laid back and friendly although the staff at check in were pretty unorganised and disinterested. The dining room had a friendly atmosphere,... more

Stayed here for one night in July. Area completely booked out that night. They had tent cabin for four available. Very worn, not the cleanest and a bad odour in the tent. Admittedly it only cost about 40 euro for 4 of us. Ate at lodge on site which came highly recommended. Food was disappointing. Pizza cold and tasteless. pasta... more

Had a fantastic time at the Bug. Amazing trails, family friendly and scrumptious food at the restaurant. The steak was a crowd pleaser with my family and the staff were very accommodating of requests. Spa was a special indulgence after taking in the watering hole and surrounding trails. This place is paradise on a shoe-string. Concerts around the fire added... more

We have just returned from a visit to the USA during which we spent 3 nights at Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain retreat and it was not an enjoyable experience at all !! We booked the Barn Studio and when we arrived we discovered it was not even located at the resort, there was no mention of this on the Internet... more

Like another reviewer, our stay was marred by food poisioning of 2 of our party. Rustic is one thing, but unhygienic is another. it is a pity because the Bug location is great and it wouldnt take much to get the place in order. A manager maybe? little evidence of any managment when we were there; just a pile of... more

There are some great things about the Bug, but our experience was not a happy one. We reserved over the phone, and wanting to save money, booked into a female dorm. For personal reasons neither of us wanted to stay in a mixed dorm. We found out at midnight that we were actually in a mixed dorm when 4 men... more

We'd been at the Bug about 10 years ago, when it first opened. Back then we were pretty much broke, so we stayed in the dorms on the cheap. They were pretty rough in those days, but the place had been a summer camp when they'd bought it and they were doing what they could as they could to improve... more

Oh the bug the bug. We loved it so much, we had to squeeze and extra night into our tour. The staff were lovely the food was fantastic the setting was amazing. You so didn't care that you were a little isolated, it was a chill spectacular. The spa was amazing and we loved out litle log cabin away from... more

The hostel is located close to Midpines on a hill surrounded by pine trees. It was very quiet and clean. You can choose between staying in a dormitory or cabins. Make sure that you make a reservation a couple of days before especially for the cabins and for weekends, because then it gets full. The hostel offers breakfast, lunch and... more

I went to Yosemite as part of a University Spring Break trip. I was the only teacher that came along on the trip with some 40 other students, but since I am only 26 I was not that different. The dorms were ok, nothing stellar, and the bathrooms worked, had hot water, etc. All fine, but this is not where... more
