I was excited to stay and willing to pay more for this experience, but at $700 a night (almost $800 with food and firewood) the value just isn’t there.
The trailer is nice, with a fireplace, a table and everything to cook. But cleanliness and maintenance were lacking: dirty fridge, windows so dusty you can’t see through them, dirty window frames and screens, a black shower fan/ not working. The furniture and finishes are already warped, peeling and looking old, and one of our towels had a stain on it. The shower water pressure was inconsistent and the water smelled like a garden hose. For a trailer where the point is the view, clean windows are the minimum.
Unloading the car and using a cart to reach the trailer is not practical after a long drive, having staff to help could be nice. The menu has a healthy vibe, but the pizza was frozen, the ravioli was not good/ frozen and the chicken tenders, frozen were cheap quality. The food could be amazing here without a full kitchen: fresh fruit, salads, fresh sandwiches, better pastries or desserts would be great, especially for couples. Firewood is $22 extra and takes forever to burn, " why paying for wood at that nighlty cost"
The live music was great, but they played in the dark with no lighting. The rooftop terrace sits empty and could use tables. The heated pool was a plus.
It feels designed for an Airstream photo, not a real nature experience. With proper consulting, warmer hospitality and more smiles, this place could be great, and it’s not difficult to fix. But the price is the real issue, it’s a joke. I’ve stayed at an RV park with a classic RV rental, fully set up, and it was ten times better for $140 a night.
Good luck AutoCamp, but the first thing I did in the morning was get out of there. Without Yosemite they will close business.
