California is home to nine national parks – more than any other state in the U.S. All of these parks have resorts and hotels in or near them, but Airbnbs give you the extra space you want during a national park trip.

These national parks range from deserts to islands to snow-capped mountains. California’s national parks have an adventure for everyone, and I’ve found the dreamiest Airbnbs for you to book at the most popular California parks.

Pro Tip: booking Airbnbs is one of my top ways to save money on a California trip.

So here are the best Airbnbs near California’s National Parks!

Aerial Ascent Yosemite

Wawona, California

10 guests · 3 bedrooms · 7 beds · 2 baths

This chalet is located inside Yosemite National Park just seven miles from Badger Pass and 16 miles from Yosemite Valley. You’ll also be close to Glacier Point Road, one of my favorite scenic drives in the park!

Desert Hideaway Near Death Valley

Beatty, Nevada

6 guests · 3 bedrooms · 3 beds · 2 baths

Death Valley is one of my favorite national parks. You’ll only be about 20 miles from the park, so it’ll feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Plus, this house is an architectural marvel with stunning views from every window!

Mountain Home Inside Sequoia National Park

Three Rivers, California

10 guests · 2 bedrooms · 4 beds · 3 baths

From this home inside Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, you’ll have spectacular views of the Western Sierra Nevadas. You’ll also be just a short drive from the Foothills Visitor Center and Generals Highway, the main road that runs through the parks.

A Retreat at Joshua Tree

Joshua Tree, California

6 guests · 2 bedrooms · 2 beds · 2 baths

This desert oasis is a 10-minutes drive from the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park and a 10-minute walk to the town of Joshua Tree. You’ll have a stock tank pool to cool off in the warm months and a hot tub for stargazing in the Winter months.

Bungalow in the Redwoods

Trinidad, California

3 guests · Studio · 2 beds · 1 bath

This tiny house is the perfect home base for exploring the Redwood National and State Parks! My top activity recommendations for this area are hiking Fern Canyon and the Rockefeller Loop, driving the Avenue of the Giants, and watching a sunset at Wedding Rock.

Hilltop Hideaway

Santa Barbara, California

8 guests · 4 bedrooms · 4 beds · 3.5 baths

Channel Islands National Park is one of the Best Stops Along The Pacific Coast Highway. To get to the Channel Islands, you’ll need to catch a boat from the Santa Barbara Visitor Center. So this hilltop home in Santa Barbara – with stellar views, a pool, and the perfect location – is where you’ll want to stay.
