Curry Village is sometimes referred to as People Central.
Curry Village is an area of tent cabins, cabins, and other retail establishments.
It's a major parking area for day-trippers and overnight backcountry enthusiasts. If you have kids, this is a very good place to consider. The cabins and tent-cabins are very well shaded, and are placed around naturally occurring boulders, trees and high ground. It's also amazingly quiet for being so close to that much civilization. The restaurants, swimming pool and other businesses are similarly tucked away from the casual observer.
