Camping at Wawona campground was such a beautiful experience. I love that there is a river near by that you can easily walk to and can get in for a swim. Everyone was very nice and considerate of others. I really like how all the campgrounds have a picnic table and fire place. I also love that we are free to turn on the fire pit whenever we want to. I can’t wait to come back again!

Not a big fan of this location. The whole campsite is sloped: area where you setup the tent and the bench. The only flat area is the top of the bear box and you have to be pretty tall to cook on top of it.

Had a great time camping here. Wawona is located really close to the Mariposa Grove and isn't too far from Glacier Point. We also explored the town and the little library which was a fun stop. The hike to Chihualna Falls is strenuous, but you don't need to hike the whole thing to get great views of the waterfalls. You can access them right from the beginning of the trail if you want. Overall, a great experience. You still have river access (bring inner tubes) from this campground and the drive to Yosemite Valley isn't bad either.

Really enjoyed the Southern part of the park. Staying at Wawona was a good option.

Site 67 is spacious, however, there are no trees at this site. It's nice to be near the river, and the surrounding areas were clean.

Site 37 was beautiful. On the river and reasonably private for Yosemite. Loop B seemed quiet compared to the other loops.

Campsite 93 was great. Fairly flat for a large tent. Not super close to the next campsite and quick access to two restrooms that were well kept.
