A large relatively spacious campground. Our site was right on the river. It’s well away from the crowds of the Valley. The Big Trees are a short drive. You can access the Glacier Pt Rd pretty quickly. And if you want to spend a day I. The Valley, that’s easy. Very quiet morning and night

We love Wawona, it is one of our best spots! We have had site #A17 both times camping here. It is close to the river, fits our rig and is pretty flat so not much leveling. About 45 minutes from everything in the valley and has a dump site and potable water refill station about a mile away.

We stayed at Loop A spot 11. This spot had plenty of space and was right on the river. We stayed there for 7 nights and had such a great experience. It was a long drive to Yosemite Valley, so I recommend planning some adventure close to Wawona.

Great site! There was a slight slope for an rv and we were definitely not level. The peaceful stream was gorgeous and very relaxing. Loved our time here! Good Verizon cell coverage.
Would definitely go back!

This is a beautiful campground, but it needs a camp host. Relying on people to be quiet at 2 AM on their own just doesn’t work. The spaces are spaced out, but if your neighbors decide that they want to be loud all night long, you have nothing to do but listen.

Convenient campground, close to Mariposa Grove.
Campsite 48 was barely level, even for a small backpacking tent (campsite 99, next to 48, looked even worse)
It should be necessary to remind campers the quiet hours and that they are not alone in the campground

The Wawona Campground area seemed very nice. What made our stay unusable was the slope of our site 019 A. The description of the site mentioned in vague terms that the slope was slight to moderate. I have a 25 ft Class C. Slight to moderate is 1 to 3 degrees of slope. 019A had 5-6 degrees. A trailer with a pivot at its wheels can have its back end touching the ground and the front end up in the air by 2-3 ft. A Class B or C with four wheels cannot tilt like a trailer. There was no way I could raise the front of the sprinter van by 2-3 ft. The site was not usable. My fridge needs a more level slope or it stops working. Look it up, RV fridges are like that. I lost about half of my food thinking I could try spending a night there.
