Amazing campground by the river. It was close enough to a convenience store and had well-maintained restrooms at the campground. Had a wonderful time there and would love to go again!

Ton of fun! Theres a river right next to the campground, very relaxing to fall asleep to. If you're going in Winter (even as late as February) be sure to pack extra warm and get gear rated for extreme weather, your items will be frosty when you wake up! There is a bathroom onsite that was pretty well maintained/clean. The Wawona Store is only a 5 minute drive for any last minute needs, the Valley is about an hour away.

This campsite is right next to a busy road so you hear cars going in and out of Yosemite all night. Other than that, it was clean and adequate spot for a night or a weekend

We absolutely love staying at Wawona campground! If you like quiet days camping, while most people go to the valley for the day this is the place for you.

We had a reservation in loop B but the restrooms were locked in the afternoon. They should have been kept open thru our reservation period. It might make sense if they were locked the following day when they were FF. Very frustrating and inconvenient.

We visited in October and its little cold at night otherwise the best campsite we have ever visited. We were in loop A and is close to the road so expect some road noise in the night. There is a small river flow adjacent to the campsite. Fall color and the river is the best combo to sit and relax.
