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.

This is our first time camping and wawona is one gem in the Yosemite. It is secluded from Yosemite valley and Merced River flows near by the campground. We enjoyed our stay there and spent more time near river. Only thing is they don't have showers but it is a great place for camping.

Exactly what we needed! Site needs a shower but just a trip to the valley took care of that. Beautiful site, no complaints.
