When I saw the news that Wildhaven was opening a new glamping spot in Mariposa near Yosemite, you can bet that I immediately set up a time to visit with my teens. The crew at Wildhaven has already established themselves as glamping pros with their highly successful Sonoma County property nestled in between vineyards in Healdsburg. That property is a favorite of ours as it has a prime location right along the Russian River and is just a short drive from the restaurants and shopping in downtown Healdsburg. I found that the new Wildhaven Yosemite property offered the same relaxed vibe parents are ..read more

Whether you are looking to check out the Guggenheim, see a show on Broadway, or take a walk through Central Park, a visit to New York City is something that all families should experience. When looking for a New York hotel for families, you’ll find that space is at a premium and most properties only offer small, cramped rooms that aren’t particularly suited for traveling with kids.

Families will love the focus on communal gathering spaces, delicious food, activities for kids, and even a swimming pool to take a dip in during the hot summer months. And just wait until you see how decked-out the glamping tents ..read more
