Location and Access

It is near Mary Laveroni Community Park (0.5 km), Groveland Library (0.5 km), and Groveland Yosemite Gateway Museum (0.5 km). From San Francisco Bay Area, take Interstate 580 east, then Hwy 120 East. From Sacramento, take Hwy 99 South to Hwy 120 East. The hostel is located on the right-hand side of the road past the Pizza Factory Pizzeria. The hostel offers free parking.

Winter Information

Groveland is normally accessible via Hwy 120 from the west toward Oakdale, even in most storms. However, higher elevations on Hwy 120 towards Yosemite may experience heavy snow. It is advisable to carry chains in your vehicle during 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.”
