From San Francisco Bay Area, take Interstate 580 east to Hwy 120 East toward Yosemite. From Sacramento, take Hwy 99 South to Hwy 120 East through Manteca, Escalon, and Oakdale. From the south, take Hwy 99 north to 120 east in Manteca. Free parking is available behind the hostel. Carry chains when heading toward Yosemite in the winter months.

“For those prioritizing access to Yosemite without breaking the bank, this hostel is a practical choice; the well-equipped kitchen and proximity to a local pizza place add convenience. While the rooms are compact and soundproofing isn't a strong point, the overall cleanliness and attentive staff contribute to a positive experience. A solid basecamp for park adventures, provided you're prepared for shared facilities.”
