El Capitan Canyon Resort is conveniently located within walking distance of the Beach, even though it’s not directly on the shore. The resort offers a variety of accommodations, including Safari Tents, Cabins, and Yurts. You can enjoy a hassle-free camping experience by simply packing your suitcase.

El Capitan Canyon Resort offers 108 fully furnished cabins. Cabins have a king, queen, or double beds, a front porch, a small kitchen with a microwave, fridge, coffee maker, and indoor bathroom facilities. All you need to bring is a suitcase and food. Cabins feature front porches and are fully equipped with bathroom facilities, king, queen, or double beds, linens, towels, and a small kitchen with a microwave, mini-fridge, and coffee maker.
Safari Cabin Suite
If you demand even more comfort, there is the Safari Cabin Suite. It is located on top of a bluff with ocean views and mountains. The two-bedroom Safari Cabin Suite has a full kitchen, gas stove, microwave, full-size refrigerator, cookware and dishware, pantry, and front porch with fire pit. The Safari Cabin Suite has a hilltop location and a private parking area. Loft cabins are located in their canyon area and offer more spacious accommodations with a separate bedroom and sleeping loft.
El Capitan Canyon Yurts
Yurts offer a unique blend of the comfort of cabins and the outdoor experience of tents. Each Yurt can comfortably accommodate up to four guests with a queen-size bed and a twin-day bed. Additionally, there is a picnic table and firepit designated for each Yurt, conveniently situated near the resort swimming pool. The rental rates for Yurts are priced moderately between tents and cabins.
Safari Tents
Safari Tents with a queen or two double beds offer a more traditional camping experience. Safari Tents have their outdoor picnic table and fire pit. Bathrooms are located in separate buildings near the tents. So if you wake up in the middle of the night for restroom duties, you may want to consider a cabin.
