About Wawona Campground

Wawona Campground is located in breathtaking Yosemite National Park in Central California's rugged Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. The site is situated at the southern end of the park, 27 miles and approximately 45 minutes from Yosemite Valley, at an elevation of 4000 feet.  Wawona was home to the park's headquarters in 1904 and historic structures still stand today. The majestic Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias is just a short drive away. Within Yosemite, visitors gaze upon waterfalls, sheer granite cliffs, deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area and much more. When on reservation, Wawona campsites are available to reserve up to five months in advance on the 15th of each month at 7:00 a.m. PST. For example, on January 15, arrival dates for the period May 15 to June 14 become available to reserve, and therefore, the full arrival date window would be from the campground open date to June 14.   Reservation Tips! Campsites in Yosemite are extremely popular and typically sell out in minutes. Login to your account or create a new account before the 7:00 a.m. (PST) release time. You may only add reservations to your cart and proceed with your reservation if you are logged into your account. The recreation.gov call center does NOT have access to additional sites or additional information beyond what is published on recreation.gov.  Yosemite National Park Campground Reservation Dates

The Wawona campground is a great alternative to the Valley floor campsites which are nearly impossible to get. The drive from Wawona to the Valley floor is about a half hour and you drive right by the Glacier Point entrance then through Tunnel View which is always spectacular.

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.

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.

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.

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.
