Adults-only mountain hostel near Yosemite National Park
Social Activities & Shared Spaces
Jackass Hostel in North Fork offers nightly movie marathons and pub crawls for its adult guests. Themed dinner nights turn the shared lounge into a communal dining experience. Board games and puzzles are available in the common area for after-dinner entertainment.
Accommodations
Each room in the hostel provides mountain views and a quiet street setting. Bunk beds in female and mixed dormitories come without air conditioning-fans are provided to help cool the space. The upstairs dormitory lacks a door, so light sleepers may hear noise from the common area.
Communal Kitchen & Outdoor Dining
The fully stocked shared kitchen includes all basic spices, salt, pepper, and cooking oil for guest use. A barbecue area with picnic tables sits in the garden next to an outdoor fireplace. Complimentary tea and coffee are available, along with oatmeal and pancake mix for breakfast.
Location & Access
Jackass Hostel is 44 km from Yosemite South Entrance and 72 km from Fresno Yosemite International Airport. The property is a short walk from grocery stores and a barbecue restaurant in North Fork. Free on-site parking and bicycle parking are provided for guests arriving by car or bike.
Housekeeping & Security
The hostel performs daily housekeeping, keeping bathrooms and bedrooms spotless. Room doors have no locks and there are no luggage lockers-valuables can be stored in small lockers that do not accept padlocks. A vending machine offers late-night snacks, and smoke alarms are installed throughout the building.
