Midpines, California
Population 1,204
Last but certainly not least, Midpines makes a great stop on a Yosemite road trip — plus it’s the perfect home base for day trips to the park. And there are not one, but two wheelchair-accessible properties in town. The Yosemite Bug (
www.yosemitebug.com) tops the list, as this rustic mountain resort offers a wheelchair-accessible room that’s furnished with two queen beds and has a bathroom with a roll-in shower. And if you’d like to try something different, AutoCamp Yosemite (
emerginghorizons.com/new-yosemite-autocamp-features-custom-designed-wheelchair-accessible-airstreams) offers several accessible glamping options. Their custom built wheelchair-accessible X Suite is reminiscent of an upscale RV. It’s furnished with a small galley, and includes a queen-sized bed and a bathroom with a roll-in shower. Alternatively they also have two accessible Classic Suites and an fully furnished accessible glamping tent. And the YARTS (
yarts.com) shuttle stops at both properties, which allows folks to sit back and enjoy the ride to the park, and skip the sometimes long entrance lines.
