What about curry village. They have a little cabin/hotel with rooms and private bathrooms. Looks like for a double bed they’re around 270$ a night. Won’t do much better than that staying in a nearby town in a roach motel.

Most of Curry Village is permanent tents with a bath house you have to walk to. You put all your smellables (including toiletries) in your bear box. The tents have cots. It's pretty rustic and I wasn't a fan at all. However, you are in the valley. It's at least a 30 minute drive to the valley from anywhere outside the park.

If at all possible, plan ahead and get reservations at Yosemite Valley Lodge. It's not at all fancy and you pay for staying in the park.

For hiking, get up and out very early. Plan on being on the trail by 7. There are lots of valley floor hikes. People bring their 5-6 year olds up the Mist Trail to Vernal Falls. It's gorgeous!

The road to Glacier Point is closed this summer and probably next as well for repairs. Waterfalls should be gorgeous in late June. There are short hikes to Bridalveil Falls and the base of Yosemite Falls.

It's one of my favorite trips and I'd love to go back.
