About Wawona Campground

Wawona Campground is located in breathtaking Yosemite National Park in Central California's rugged Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. The site is situated at the southern end of the park, 27 miles and approximately 45 minutes from Yosemite Valley, at an elevation of 4000 feet.  Wawona was home to the park's headquarters in 1904 and historic structures still stand today. The majestic Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias is just a short drive away. Within Yosemite, visitors gaze upon waterfalls, sheer granite cliffs, deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area and much more. When on reservation, Wawona campsites are available to reserve up to five months in advance on the 15th of each month at 7:00 a.m. PST. For example, on January 15, arrival dates for the period May 15 to June 14 become available to reserve, and therefore, the full arrival date window would be from the campground open date to June 14.   Reservation Tips! Campsites in Yosemite are extremely popular and typically sell out in minutes. Login to your account or create a new account before the 7:00 a.m. (PST) release time. You may only add reservations to your cart and proceed with your reservation if you are logged into your account. The recreation.gov call center does NOT have access to additional sites or additional information beyond what is published on recreation.gov.  Yosemite National Park Campground Reservation Dates

Great spot! I loved jumping in the river in the morning and evenings to cool off and rinse off - no showers at the campsite. Quick little drive (~40 minutes) to Yosemite Valley or Glacier Point. Multiple water spouts, bathrooms and dumpsters positioned around the camp for convenience. Peaceful and quiet mornings and evenings. Stayed mid-July

I liked Wawona campground but it was so far away from the main sites. Wawona was clean and the trash was easy to find. Noise level was great especially since the campsites are so close together. I was in C88 which was great because i felt like I had extra room Compared to other campsites.
