Two Indiana school teachers, David and Jenny Curry, developed Camp Curry in 1899 as a low-cast place to stay in Yosemite National Park. In the early years, Camp Curry offered 12 canvas tent cabins, but this grew to hundreds in the mid-20th century. The camp became so popular as a result of tourists arriving by automobile, elaborate facilites were added by 1922 including a dance pavilion, pool hall, soda fountain, service station and mechanics' shop.

In 2008, Curry Village had 610 canvas and wood cabins arrayed in rows.
