Beautiful camp but roads are very narrow and hard to avoid collision with other rvs.

We stayed at 84c site. It is large and near the toilet but not too close. You still can hear the river at night and it wasn’t overwhelming. I would come again

Wawona campground served the purpose and the park worth the wait for entry.

The campgrounds were well-kept, and the toilets were clean. I was expecting vaulted toilets, but they were not, which was a pleasant surprise.

nice campsite away from the busy Yosemite Valley. Would so benefit from some sort of shower facilities

Love to stay here. It’s only the sound of river. The site was on a slope that I slided down on the sleeping pad every night. The water is so clean. It’s a quiet campground in Yosemite. An hour drive to the valley though.

Wawona is a very chill campground compared to those in the valley. It features a range of sites, including some very cool locations along the river. It is close to Mariposa Grove and the Chilnualna Falls trailhead.

Great place to stay to get an early start for the Glacier Point Road. Facilities are basic but adequate. They include flushing toilets, potable water, trash, and food storage lockers.
