We’re committed to minimizing disruption and appreciate your patience as we work to improve the space for your future enjoyment.
Exciting Enhancements Coming to the Clubhouse!
We’re making exciting enhancements to elevate your experience at Tenaya at Yosemite! The Clubhouse is currently offline through April 15, 2026, as we undergo a major transformation designed to make your future stays even more memorable. We’re thrilled to share that these renovations include:
- Expanded clubhouse with enhanced spaces for relaxation and connection
- New restaurant & bar offering fresh dining and beverage experiences
- Outdoor pool complex
During this time, guest check-in for Explorer Cabins will take place at the Main Lodge. To ensure your stay remains just as enjoyable, we’ve added a few special touches for our cabin’s guests while the clubhouse is under renovation:
Breakfast at Parkside Deli
- Available daily from 7:00am–10:00am
- Cabin’s guests may choose from a selective breakfast menu (one breakfast per guest staying in each cabin)
Wine Offering
- Upon arrival, each cabin will receive a complimentary bottle of wine, with a guest choice of red or white wine.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we refresh and enhance our space. We can’t wait to welcome you to an even better Tenaya experience!

Entrance Fees & Passes
To visit Yosemite National Park during your stay, all guests must have a valid park entrance pass. The America the Beautiful Pass provides access to Yosemite and other popular national parks. To review all pass options, click here.
For U.S. Residents:
- U.S. citizens and permanent residents can purchase the annual America the Beautiful Pass for $80, which covers entrance fees at Yosemite and other included locations for 12 months. Passes must be accompanied by valid photo ID upon entry.
For Non-U.S. Residents:
- A non-resident annual America the Beautiful Pass is available for $250. This pass provides the same park access as the resident annual pass and covers entrance fees at Yosemite and other locations without additional non-resident surcharges. Visitors who do not purchase the non-resident annual pass may be charged the standard $35 Yosemite entrance fee and a $100 per-person non-resident fee (16 and older). For more information on FAQs, please visit the NPS website.
Important Notes:
- For Yosemite 360 Tours, the Non-Resident Annual Pass covers the entrance for the pass holder plus 3 adults (16 and older), not to exceed 4 adults.
- Free entrance days are available for U.S. residents but do not apply to non-residents unless they hold a valid annual pass.
We recommend purchasing the America the Beautiful Pass in advance to streamline your visit. For the most up-to-date details and official purchase options, visit the NPS website.
