We were right by the river and across the bathrooms. It was the perfect location. The campground is gorgeous. We'll definitely do it again.

Great campsite with shade. Sites are more spread out than the valley and this one is up against the river. Not super easy to access the river immediately behind but if you walk down a bit you can dip your feet in. Management was great and came by to check us in since we got in late the night before. Was a bit buggy when we were here mid May.

Clean, quiet, and not too far from the beauty of Yosemite Valley!

Very nice campground away from the crowds in the central valley, but just a 30 minute drive in. Also, very close to Mariposa Grove and a short drive to Oakhurst for supplies. There are two small general stores close, but they are pricey. The campground itself sits near the river and during our stay a group of wild turkeys roamed the property. The rangers and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Bathrooms were kept clean and stocked and the one nearest loop A is heated. There is a dump station just up the road near the hotel. My only complaint with Wawona is that most of the pull through sites in loop A are not level, so may take some time and moving around to get a larger rig setup. I also didn't care for the pull through sites in Loop A essentially being pull off with no separation from the road. Our trailer is small with no slides, but a couple of nights our across the street neighbors were in a Class A with multiple slides which nearly blocked the roadway and made for a tight fit.

This is a great campground. We stayed in Loop B and it was so nice to hear the sound of the rushing water near us! I hope to be back again some day :)

Spaces too open and next to other campers, hardly any trees and close to road.
