Indian Flat RV Park - Tent Cabins & Cottages

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at one of their hard shell cozy cabin which had AC, kitchenette, showers and refrigerator. It was very cute and cozy for the four of us. The sofa bed was a bit noisy but it was comfortable. The queen bed was also nice after our long hike in Yosemite. Our cabin had a shower and the water pressure and temp were perfect. The receptionist who checked us in was also very friendly even though we checked in past the normal office hours. The hotel has a mini convenience shop with just a few food snacks and drinks. Perfect in case you forgot something. We would definitely stay here again. The place was great. I wish we had stayed more than one day so we could enjoy the beach access across the street and the three swimming pools. Lovely place overall."
