The site was easy to find. Wifi wasn’t working but I had plenty of service. The outdoor shower was fine but isn’t very private considering the other cabin that’s just up the road but I waited until it was dark outside so it was fine. It’s near Yosemite so I’d definitely stay here again

Peaceful but not worth the money

Waiting for more than an hour to have my call returned by the host to receive the door code. Camp beds have stains all over them. Shower is not private at all. Toilet - hand basin not working. No alternative provided, eg hand sanitizer. Very unhygienic.

Awesome Rustic Cabin with Amenities

I loved the convenience of staying in Oakhurst, but still feeling rustic. The cabin is small and cute and has 2 good sized cots that was made comfy with my own sleeping bad, pillow, and sleeping bag. Good large window and a newly installed ceiling fan made it manageable in the later afternoons/evening until it cooled down. I had the door open for air flow until I was ready to relax, which worked and no bugs or the many bees followed me in. Solar shower was a blessing after long run/hikes in Yosemite. I loved having access to warm and cold water for a shower and clean good tasting drinking water to fill up! I didn’t use the bbq grill, but it’s a nice option! Good picnic table set up and a spot you could totally camp, I didn’t use my tent because I was wanting to sleep inside. The only issue is I bumped my legs several times on the cot design. WiFi wasn’t working (but I have AT&T and I had adequate service, so not a big deal). Didn't really need it myself. Driveway was nice and I liked backing in so it was easier to depart. Would definitely stay again as I always stay in Oakhurst/Southern Entrance area! Ernie was very responsive and it was all great!

Enjoyed our stay at Ernie's hipcamp. Nice location with access to nearby Bass Lake, Sierra National Forest, and Yosemite National Park. Instructions provided were very clear.

Lovely stay.

With kids

This was a great option for us and our toddler! Our pack and play could fit in front of the cots with room to spare. There wasn't a lot of things for him to get into, and the floors were cement and easy to clean. It was 94 degrees during the hottest part of the day when we stayed, so the outdoor shower was used multiple times to cool off. The site felt private and had plenty of space around to explore and enjoy the views of the trees and mountains. We got to make memories with our son while still having access to electricity and water. Win-win.

Keep up the good work Ernie!

Ernie's place was perfect for our 1st (so far) Yosemite Park trip. We arrived to town late at night and his auto lights came on and made it easy for us to settle in. The cabin was clean and well-insulated for warmth. The outlets made it easy to charge phones. I slept in a tent right outside. The land I found was a little sloped but I didnt look hard and it was comfy. We ended up not using the shower much but the hose and the water was very convenient and we loved using the grill. Ernie was very communicative and punctual on the app. We ended up having some car trouble and so the location of Oakhurst ended up being very convenient because there are many nice auto shops nearby. We ended up traveling to a mechanic in Coarsegold who had an opening. Oakhurst has relatively affordable gas and shops so it's a great place to camp right outside of Yosemite. Overall couldnt have asked for anything better.
