History

In 1899 David Curry and Jenny Etta Foster opened a tented camp so that visitors could enjoy the beauty of Yosemite for a modest price. They advertised "a good bed and clean napkin with every meal" for just $2 a day. Camp Curry celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1999 and is still offers park visitors comfortable, inexpensive lodging in the shadow of the spectacular Glacier Point and Half Dome.
