Working in Yosemite National Park-What to Expect (A tour of the living situation)
Hello and thank you so much for watching my lil video I made about my life here in Yosemite :) in this video walk you through the living situation so if you get a job here you can know what to expect and pack accordingly. I’m going to be making a second video on the types of jobs here, how to get a job here and how I afford to live here and travel around California. For now I hope you enjoyed this video and you can follow my Instagram below! I post photos and daily videos on my life here so if you want to know more send me a message over there with any questions!

Did you notice there are no toilets in those tents? Do you hold it?- I don't.
Awesome video thanks so much. I lived and worked in Yosemite 6 times in my life. Summers of 1988, 1989, 2021, and 2022; continuous Jan 1990 - Feb 1992, and May 2018 - August 2019. Earlier on I worked mostly at the front desk and the last 2 summers I cooked. I lived in “the Ozone” at first in 1988 and 1989 at Yosemite Lodge. I was in one of the tents that you showed in your video. I then was in a dorm room at the Yosemite Lodge area in 1990. I then got a small dorm room on the 3rd floor of Tecoya dorms. I then got a wob in the Yosemite Lodge area. That was back in 1990-1992. Then in 2018 I was in a tent in the Curry area for 2 weeks and then I lucked out like you and found someone that needed a roommate in Tecoya dorms that I lived in until I left in August 2019. Then I was back in a tent again for the next 2 summers in the Curry area. I love Yosemite and I didn’t really care what work that I did because I was in paradise as far as I was concerned. The living conditions are rustic and are not for everyone, but if you love the outdoors, hiking, climbing, and camping, then you put up with the housing.

Hey I'm actually going to apply soon and use this as my way of moving from Tennessee to California. I saw in websites like coolworks that they do have year round positions not just seasonal work. Honestly the only concern I have is the bike. I can't ride a bike. Just couldn't learn it. I have a car so couldn't I just use that to get around or to my job and back to the tents?
Thanks! Most comprehensive video on what to expect I've seen so far.
Just got hired 🤘 🥶 I used to work there in 2011
I’m 14 and really want to be a ranger when I grow up. This made me really happy and joyful for future. Plz make more😍

Any rules against adding a power strip in the tent? An extra 5-6 plugs would be awesome and make you a hero to your tent mates!

How do I apply? What are some requirements? What kind of jobs do they offer there? Do any of them require college?
can't you bring a power cord strip since there is only two plugs?
Those canvas tents look pretty vulnerable. But I guess worth 20$ a week! I'td be my dream to work/live there.
I'm accepted the job offer , I'm moving from ohio so I was just curious about if it snows.. and I own a car is it beneficial for me to drive my.car there and have it parked safe?
You should really be a tv host. I hope I meet you if I make it around there
Yoooo I’m bout to do this
Hello what’s a job application link I can use?
We stayed in one of those tent cabins a few years ago. It was late June. Woke up the first night and it was soooo cold in the cabin. And they shut those heaters off after Memorial Day. Was curious if they shut them off in the employee cabins too. Otherwise yes they are cozy

Good question! You are not required to use the housing here. You may apply for a couples wob or tent or dorm but with low seniority it’s unlikely you’ll be in a dorm. You can have a pet as long as it is registered as a service animal (which is not hard to do).

Hi Allie, unless you need an ADA or couple room, I don’t think it’s possible to request a larger space. The price is so similar and the rooms are so limited that the big spaces to go people that are managers or have been there for a really long time. Thanks!
