It's my second time camping at Wawona. Nice campground with good access to the water, which was good for cooling down in 90 degrees weather. Bathrooms were clean at the start of the weekend but quite dirty by the end, so a more frequent cleaning could help. An area for improvement: They have signs saying "do not wash" at every watering spot and sink, so that is very inconvenient and confusing as to where you're supposed to wash your dishes. Otherwise great!

We were not able to park our small trailer on the tent area ; we had to install it beside the road; not bad but really not optimal.
Our neighbors were crowded (14 people on one site). Camping rules allow 6 people maximum on the same site. Noisy but we called rangers (hot line) and they became quieter and stopped the music.
Unfortunately, they allow electric generators on campground at specific time (morning, noon, evening) !!! very noisy when you camp in a tent !!! When I go in a nature campground, I do not expect to camping beside a motor.
The camping administration seem not to make sure that campsite regulations are followed (electric generator allowed periods, nb max of people per site, etc)

Great campground but wish all bathrooms had light not just the handicap bathroom.

Everything would have been fine except it was a heat wave. And there was zero shade in my space. About a 100 degrees. Most sites are better.

site 71 was very enjoyable! extremely convenient access to the river and a small spot of shade under trees right on the bank made for a perfect afternoon. there was no shade over the table or area for the tent though, which made it a bit less fun setting up the site. close to bathrooms which were very clean and also right next to the trash cans so a bit loud in the morning when it was getting picked up. there were a lot of large families and groups with loud dogs when i was there so generally noisy but part of the experience! overall really enjoyed my first time at wawona!

Nice campground. It is quite open and the sites don't have a lot of privacy.

We had one night before a backpack trip out of Glacier Point.
Campsite was nice.
Bathrooms could use a little TLC/refresh but everything was functional.
