Off-Grid A-Frame Glamping Near Yosemite 🌄🛖
Tucked just 15 miles east of Groveland and about 20 minutes from the Yosemite National Park entrance, our modern A-frame cabins offer a unique, off-grid experience for those who want a little more comfort than a tent — without giving up the adventure.
Designed by the Finnish group Nolla, these minimalist and cozy cabins are built to help you unplug and unwind. Each cabin is well insulated, includes fresh linens, and Rumpl blankets to keep you warm.
Perfect for couples, small families, or close-knit friends, the cabin can be arranged as either two twin beds or a king-sized bed to accommodate up to four people. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway under the stars or a no-frills glamping basecamp for Yosemite exploration, these cabins offer a mix of simplicity and comfort.
Each A-frame is equipped with solar power for small device charging, a portable fan, and access to an odorless composting toilet. It’s a true step off the beaten path and into a more immersive experience.
• Cabin 1: Easily accessible for most vehicles.
• Cabins 2 & 3: A bit more adventurous — AWD or 4x4 recommended during rain or wet conditions.
If you’re looking for a bit of adventure while getting a solid night’s sleep with some great views, this might be your spot.

Weekend Trip to Nolla A-Frames Near Yosemite
I was looking for a last minute escape to the mountains to clear my head but didn’t want to deal with a) my own tent or gear, b) a big campground with tons of other people, c) pretentious “glamping” tents, or d) a soulless “cabin” for family reunions. Bonus points for cool design. Liza and Tom’s site was perfect!
Tucked up in the woods so it feels remote but easily accessible from the road and just a few minutes drive to cell service and food options. I was in cabin 2 next to a friendly couple in cabin 3, but when I was inside it felt like I was all alone.
The A-frame itself is a cool minimalist Scandinavian design, with comfy beds and an incredible floor to ceiling window to watch the sunset and pick out constellations after dark.
Outhouse/toilet was comfy, clean and didn’t smell at all. Showers were modern and clean with fresh towels (they’re across the main road so best to drive). I can’t wait to come back for a longer stay!

We loved our stay! It was everything we were hoping for. The A-Frames were very comfortable for the two of us and our 130lb dog. The camp site itself was very quiet and private. Really easy access to the park and nice to have the option of using the showers at their sister property if needed.
We're planning on coming back and staying again!

Weekend Trip to Nolla A-Frames Near Yosemite
We decided last minute on a stay near Yosemite and this place was conveniently near the highway leading to the West entrance but still private and secluded. The views at night with the stars were beautiful!!! We did stay after a snowstorm so it was cold but bundled up with our own extra blankets and sleeping bags and were cozy! Really cozy and very nice to have extra blankets and the charger.

The A-frame cabin was a beautiful, scenic stay within convenient distance from Yosemite. I found it easy to check in, and the hosts provide useful guidance for finding the cabin.
Cell service is spotty, so be sure to plan ahead. I found it easy to find, but be aware that you'll want to plan ahead.
The view out the cabin window was stunning, and I found all accommodations - bed, desk, lamp, battery, and shower - very comfortable. I will always remember the stars and moonlight.

As a solo traveler (with canine companion) I appreciate good communication with hosts and feeling safe within my camping surroundings. Tom and Liza are thoughtful hosts and Cabin One is charming.
It is easily accessible via dirt road with a near-by porta-potty. If you want to feel more remote during your camping experience inquire about cabins two & three (as well as accessibility.) A Yeti full of a generous amount of clean, potable water is provided.
I camp with extra warm Rumple-style blankets and hand-heater packets because I get cold easily. I was cozy overnight during my early November stay and enjoyed breakfast in the morning sun at the adjacent picnic table.
The photos in the multiple reviews all accurately depict the set-up at the Cabin One sight.
Trust the pin & directions to your campsites provided :)
I’m looking forward to camping during late-spring/early summer and trying Campsites Two/Three!

1 night at Nolla A-Frames Near Yosemite
Liza and Tom’s Cabin was a great place to stay at to provide us with the calm views of the California hills we were looking for. They set up the cabin for us before we arrived so all we truly needed to do was unwind and enjoy the sunset, stars, and sunrise! While we stayed for a quick trip, we would’ve loved to visit for longer to continue to enjoy what the cabin had to offer.

We really enjoyed our stay at the A-frame! The site was quiet, peaceful, and nicely secluded, just as described. The directions provided were clear and easy to follow, and the hot showers across the street were a great bonus. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, off-the-grid stay.

We had such a peaceful and cozy stay at Liza and Tom’s land! 🌿 The area is beautifully maintained and surrounded by nature. Liza and Tom were incredibly kind and welcoming, giving clear directions and making sure we had everything we needed. The spot was perfect for relaxing after exploring the nearby park - quiet nights under the stars and mornings filled with birdsong. Loved our stay so much

Really lovely spot with lots of privacy and amazing views. There is a load creaking sound in the cabin every so often but with ear plugs it’s totally fine to sleep. The location is nice and near cute places, not far from yosemitie gate but to the valley it’s about an hour

We loved the cute little A Frame at Liza and Tom’s. Cabin 1 was secluded (didn’t see another person the whole time), had a great view, and was the perfect place to stay for our little family (2 adults and a 4 month old). When the rain started rolling in the day we were set to leave, I was admittedly a little nervous, but the cabin provided a perfect respite from the weather and it was very cool to watch the storm from the window. The A Frame is very roomy on the inside - we had the king size bed setup and set our baby’s pack and play up on the mattress with us and had plenty of room to spare. The cabin also provided us super easy access to Yosemite - no more than a 15 minute drive to the park entrance. Great vibes all around!

We had a great stay despite super hot days and the cabin heating up to sauna level :)
The cabins are great, small, lovely and have everything necessary. Our cabin was #3 - it’s a perfect site to rent with a group of people because cabin 2 and 3 are next to each other and no one is around you. Beautiful views!
Our dog became all orange because he would lay in a red clay dust and no matter how much we cleaned him with wipes, he was orange the entire trip :)

Weekend Trip to Nolla A-Frames Near Yosemite
I had such a wonderful stay at this cabin! The space was cozy, clean. The location was perfect, peaceful and surrounded by nature. 15mins away from Yosemite entrance without traffic. I especially loved how we could just stare at starry sky at night. Depends on when you stay, try packing an extra jacket or blanket, it gets cold at night. Recommend to anyone looking for a zero distraction getaway!

We had an amazing stay here! The place was exactly as described by the hosts—clean, minimalist, and wonderfully quiet. It felt like the perfect balance of simplicity and comfort, which made it a really peaceful getaway. Everything was thoughtfully maintained, and we appreciated how true it was to the listing.
The location is another big plus—very close to Yosemite and also convenient to the Groveland charging station, which made our trip seamless. Overall, an awesome spot that I’ll definitely recommend to friends. We’re already looking forward to visiting again!

Our stay here was certainly a highlight of our trip to Yosemite! It was secluded, private, and cozy. We fell asleep to bright stars and woke up to a gorgeous sunrise. If I’m ever in the area again I would definitely come back!
Liza and Tom were wonderful hosts, they were communicative leading up to and throughout our trip.

A-frame cabins near Bass Lake guide
Where to go
West of Bass Lake
While the expanse between Bass Lake and the California coast has its fair share of towns and farmland, there are also plenty of natural areas and parks to explore. Spots worth considering along this route include San Luis National Wildlife Refuge, Pacheco State Park, and Henry W. Coe State Park.
Sequoia National Forest
Head south and you'll hit Sequoia National Forest, where you'll find everything from scenic waterways to colorful high mountain scenery. Backpackers may want to also consider a trip out to the Jennie Lakes Wilderness, with its thick forest interspersed with Alpine meadows.
Stanislaus National Forest
North of Bass Lake, the massive Stanislaus National Forest is a great place to continue water adventures, with a wide variety of lakes and rivers. Hiking and camping opportunities also abound in this wooded area.
When to go
Bass Lake is definitely a summer destination, though many area campgrounds are open year-round. Summers can get hot, with daytime temperatures sometimes rising to the upper 90s, while nights are pleasantly warm, with temperatures in the 60s. The spring and fall shoulder seasons are ideal if you want fewer crowds, with pleasantly warm temperatures in May and September. Late fall through winter gets plenty of rain, and snow is not uncommon.
