Stayed in the back packers portion of the campground which is great that they have, but not nearly big enough for the amount of people that are there. Luckily we were able to find a spot to share with people so that we could have access to a bear box.
We decided next time we come to go backpacking we are going to stay at one of the other locations open to backpackers. Ideally one will open near Wawona at some point.

Great site! We fit 3 2 man tents very easily on the site. Quiet campground (we went early june) even though it was full. Easy walk to curry village. Staff is amazing.

Campsites are close together, but the general vibe here was much more respectful than the average campground I have been to. People honored quiet hours and there wasn't a party atmosphere. I had read a review saying that this site had a sloped tent pad, but I didn’t really notice one. Maybe if you had a really large tent you would notice. Squirrels are very interested in all human food, so be prepared to lock up your food and close your car doors. The site was nice because it was right across from the river at an access point.

A great campground. Even though it was full, there was enough space and the facilities were fine. We had a wonderful campsite. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The only downside was the immense smoke from all the campfires in the evening. Thank you so much for the fantastic stay!

Some of the sites are close together and one night we could hear our neighbor snoring, but the location can’t be beat! The bathrooms were clean and people were really friendly.
