Wawona Campground

Nice campground overall: setting is beautiful, the nearby stream sounds made for a relaxing night's sleep. campsites were well-spaced & fellow campers were quiet & orderly. I felt fortunate to be able to get a campsite in a national park on fairly short notice. The Living History Center nearby made for an interesting activity. There was also a nearby store that I did not visit, but that could have been convenient.

My campsite had a table, fire grate and bear-proof storage.

Negatives: it was a long walk to the restroom from my campsite. I had a walk-in site about 60' downhill from my car, but I knew that going in. However, the path left a lot to be desired, as I had to wind around rocks & bushes, and the first step down from the parking area was borderline dangerous. As I was required to store my food in the bear-proof box and that was situated down by the campsite, that meant ferrying my entire cooler & all food supplies down from my car & back up again in the morning, which was a minor pain.

Firewood sales would have been nice. I opted to go without a campfire, but some of my neighbors were actively scrounging dead/fallen wood quite a ways from their sites. It struck me odd that this was even permitted in a national park, but the rules said it was allowed.

Overall, a nice experience, just be prepared for a little inconvenience if you take some particular walk-in sites.

Super sweet campsite with lovely adventures all around. New to this area of the park and it did not disappoint!

We had to bounce around three campsites as we scheduled a little late. It was manageable and allowed us an opportunity to see where we wanted to be next time. 27 A needs a fence or trees/shrubs between the picnic table and the bathrooms. Very little privacy

The only downside to this campground is the winding road to Yosemite valley. Its a bit of a trek. However, this site was quite good. Creekside was beautiful, bathrooms decent, and sites had decent space.

This camp ground is an hours drive from the valley.

We are very pleased staying in Wawona it was quite, clean and our camp site as near the river. and he bathroom was well maintained.

Considering this is in Yosemite, that alone makes it wonderful. And if you don’t have a good time at this national park, you’re doing it wrong - it is amazing! That being said, this campsite has its cons. It is about 40-50 min away from Yosemite valley. You must travel on a very windy road, and I get quite car sick so this made traveling to and from the park to my site very… not fun to say the least. If that doesn’t bother you, no biggie! There are also lots of people packed into a small area. Bathrooms are pretty good, clean. Flushing toilets are a plus. Bear box wasn’t cleaned out, and the site had some garbage. We cleaned before we left so hopefully it’s nicer for the next person!

Beautiful campground, great people. 5 stars except we had trouble getting level. Still would return!

Very convenient location near southern yosemite attractions. Bathrooms, campsite, etc... clean and well serviced.
