White Chief Mountain Lodge - Fish Camp

Started here in Oct 2020. Cozy and comfortable hotel that made my first trip to Yosemite even better. Clean warm room, quiet and relaxing after hiking.Rooms: 5/5

If you want a well-kept, clean place to lay your head at the end of an overnight camp or long day of backpacking in the south end of the park, this is your place.Manage your expectations however and remember your in rural California. The rooms are small, outdated but offer a clean and tidy space to sleep, shower and refuel w/complementary breakfast (waffle irons, oatmeal, sausage, cereals, etc. before heading back into Yosemite.

I stayed here with my daughter as we explored Yosemite National Park. There were certain things that I was not happy with. We got a room with one queen size bed and one twin. The twin bed was the worst bed you can even imagine sleeping on in your life. If you sat on it you sunk down 12 inches towards the floor. The first morning I tried to make coffee in the tiny little coffee pot that they offer. I ran through a water only cycle just to make sure everything was clean and the coffee pot ended up being full of brown hot water. We were very very warm and we could not get the air conditioner to work. And right before we left, I had my daughter look under the beds to make sure we didn 't leave anything. And she found a Bluetooth speaker that was not ours. It was a $400 JBL speaker. When we went to check out, we brought the speaker to the front desk and said somebody might be missing this. And the girl at the front desk says, well we have no idea how long that has been in the room so we do not know who it belongs to . And I said, well maybe if housekeeping had been looking under the beds as they clean the rooms, somebody might have noticed it! . The woman at the front desk slammed the window shut, and yes I do admit, I gave her the finger. So, if you have been at this hotel and you have lost a $400 speaker I turned it in on June 22/2022 at 10 AM exactly. I hope you get your speaker back. And I hope you never stay here again. I would never recommend this place.

A good experience. The location can't be beat, back in the tall trees with birds all around. The rooms are a little dated, and the shower was very tiny (2.5'x3'-ish), but for a budget-seeker, all was well. Room and beds were comfortable and warm. Breakfast had variety and was good, and the staff were friendly.

We visited White Chief for 3 days. It's about 2 miles from the Yosimite main gate. It's quaint, peaceful, and very quiet. We didn't even hear late arrivals go into rooms. The rooms were clean, with microwave, frig and coffeemaker. Soft beds and excellent heat. Some of the negative reviews in my opinion are from people who want a Hyatt or Marriot. At White Chief we checked in with Mindy who was informative, helpful and very nice to talk to. We also were surprised with the free breakfast each morning. The manager Christy was nice, friendly and gave a lot of info on the lodge. It's well maintained and sits on a beautiful site in the woods. You can always go into the park and pay 600.00 a night or go to White Chief and have the same enjoyable stay for much less. It's a long drive from Georgia but if we ever get the opportunity to return, we'll certainly enjoy another visit to White Chief Lodge.
