Loved this campground and the location to Chilnualna Falls as well as the Wawona General Store just down the street. A perfect place to stay after staying in the valley as the drive out of the park is just 6 miles or so.

Campground was very hospitable overall. My lot had a lot of big boulders so not the best but there were plenty of flat lots around. Readily available water. Friendly and helpful rangers. Would visit again.

This place was exactly what my family needed. The campsites and restrooms are well maintained. The river next to the campground is gorgeous.
T Mobile and Sprint cell phones did not have service. Verizon did.
I would love to camp here again.

Really clean and convenient campground. I loved that there were flushable toilets and a mirror in the restrooms! Also, the rangers seemed to be on top of patrolling the grounds.

I am a car camping female traveling solo and this campground was so lovely! Quiet and near the river. Very conveniently settled in between Yosemite and Mariposa Grove. The bathrooms were the cleanest I've ever seen at a campground. Super easy to get settled in and build a fire with the wood I scavenged (friendly neighbor campers saw me and offered extra). Would definitely camp here again.

Beautiful campground right on the river. It was rainy, snowy, and cold but we'd love to come back in warmer weather. Great access to the Mariposa Big Trees hiking.
