Our campsite was perfect. We stayed in the middle section B. It was quiet and family friendly. We found a great swimming area close by. Perfect location if you want to be in the park, but get away from the crowds.

Everything was clean and everyone was helpful. The bear box cooked and melted all our food even inside the cooler. Had to use all our shade covers to protect the food from heat not bears!

Wawona is interesting and a great place to acclimate for higher elevations. But, I do miss Tom Bopp and the hotel.

Great campground! Very quiet and beside a river. We were able to have a fire in the ring nightly and the sky was so dark we could see the Milky Way. There is a general store within a mile.

I love camping in Wawona campground, it’s my happy place, usually I booked a few camping trips to Yosemite in the summer every year, the August trip is the one I can get to the river by the campground.

I loved this campground so much! Right next to the water with fire pits and bear cabinets. The store is not far and they even have a little store right in the campground.
