My campsite was well maintained, but several in my loop were not. Most people camped in RV's, I set up a tent. Close to Yosemite Valley, Wawona Village and Mariposa Grove.

The rangers were very helpful and kind. The bathrooms and campground were clean. It was a fairly quiet campground which I appreciated. There is a gas station just a mile down the road which was useful. I would definitely go back.

Slept soundly with the sounds of the Merced River flowing near us. Plenty of sun for our solar panel on the roof of our 21' trailer. Brought a generator and portable panel and we never needed it for the whole week.

Great campground if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of Yosemite Valley. About 30 minutes from Glacier point and 40 minutes from the valley. Site 1 is pretty and by the river! Not a ton of privacy, but maybe a little better than average for this campground.

This river front campsite located in loop B was beautiful. I would definitely book it again. It has plenty of space for two camping houses. The campsite was a little slanted but it didn't get in the way of setting up our tents. I appreciate that this campsite has only about 10 sites so it was fairly quiet and peaceful unlike loop C which can get crowded. It's about a 30 min drive to get to Yosemite valley and about a 10 min drive to Chilnualna falls which is a beautiful hike. There is also the Wawona General Store nearby where you can buy snacks, ice, wood, gifts, and many other things!

Our campsite at camp Wawona was great. It had everything we needed for a relaxing camping experience. The site we selected had a space to park our car right next to our and was a short walk to the facilities. I three space had ample room for a tent and the fire pit had a nice grate to cook meals on if you prefer to do it over a campfire. The campsite was clean and there was even dead wood that was ok to pick up and use for your campfires. The rangers that worked the site were very friendly as well. This location was pretty close to the entrance after entering Yosemite National Park and was a easy 45 minute drive to Yosemite Valley. I would recommend early to mid May visiting Yosemite, it's not crowded and Yosemite Falls is flowing pretty nicely, as well as the other water falls in the park. Oh, you should also check out the Misty Trail, it wax amazing!
