Campground was well kept up, with clean restrooms and friendly staff. We were close to the town of Wawonna, shopped at the local market for supplies and hiked to the Swigging Bridge (an easy, beautiful trail).

the campground is clean and the rangers/campground workers were helpful and informative about activities I was hoping to do.

The perfect campground to stay at right outside of Yosemite - only about a 45 min drive into the park! The campsite seemed less crowded than if we had tried to camp inside Yosemite, which was nice. The bathrooms were well maintained and clean. Bonus points because we got to stay next to a rushing stream, which was like having our own sound machine :)

Site 28 A loop wawona is on the hill side so there is some unfortunate slope. Not a huge problem because there’s 2 flat areas in the campground to pitch your tent. The bathrooms were clean. There’s quite a bit of wood around the campsite if you happen to bring a hatchet you can cut some up. If you check in after hours just sign your name on the clipboard and the ranger will be by in the morning to fully check you in. April is super cold so double up on sleeping bags but other than that it was great.

The bathroom near site 49 is astoundingly loud. We were woken up all night long every night by the sound of the water being turned on. Whenever anyone used the sink in the women’s restroom it sounded like a car crash. Otherwise, was a clean bathroom.
