I agree with Dave...Half Dome Village should've just been Camp Curry. And I think Delaware North changed the name to Yosemite Lodge at the Falls after repairs made following the big flood.
Any change in Housekeeping Camp's name?
I looked at Wikipedia and it said that the name was changed sometime in the mid 2000's. I could pull out all of my receipts from past trips and see when the name had changed but I don't have the time to do that today. I was told by a manager at the Lodge the reason behind the name change was to end the confusion between Yosemite Lodge and Yosemite View Lodge in El Portal because people were getting upset when they found that they had made reservations at Yosemite View Lodge and thinking it was the lodge in the Valley. I have also heard that explanation from other people. Now if that reason is correct, is anyone's guess unless we can find something written.
No change in the name of Housekeeping Camp so I guess they didn't trademark that name. I have also wondered why they couldn't use Camp Curry.
Edit: I went and looked at my receipts. When we stayed at the Lodge starting on 5/26/05 it said Yosemite Lodge. When we went on 4/9/06 it said Yosemite Lodge at the Falls. I will look for more receipts to see if this is correct.
