The site was so beautiful. Very tranquil and quiet. One group that camped next to us was very respectful and I could see that they would put their food and other products in the bear locker. The other group on our opposing side however was super loud and obnoxious and did not respect the 10 pm quiet rule. Keep that in mind. Wawona had a near by gift shop which was really nice. We visited Mariposa Grove which was near Wawona and is a relatively easy hike. You just need to take a shuttle bus to there and back, but it is free. We mainly hung out in Yosemite Valley. Did the Vernal Falls Trail, rented bikes and biked all the way to Mirror Lake which we didn't know is seasonal but the bike ride there was still so beautiful we didn't really care. One thing to keep in mind is that Wawona is probably the farthest location out of all the campsites. Most of the campsites (from what I know) are located in the main valley which is an hour away from Wawona. So take into account the commute from Wawona to whatever fun activities you want to do in the main valley. Overall, a great experience. When I camp at Yosemite again, I will definitely book a site a Wawona.

Great campground! We were coming from SF and got in pretty late, so it was nice to make the scenic drive through the park the following morning. This campground is huge, and the nearby river is a great plus. Will be returning!

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.
