Whether Groveland is simply a place to stay for the night before embarking on a day trip to Yosemite, or a multi-day destination for rest and relaxation, there are many unforgettable accommodations that can serve as a home away from home.

Due to Groveland’s considerably small community size, there isn’t a reliable public transit system that services the area. Consequently, driving a personal or rental car would be the most convenient means of traveling in and around the region.
