Really nice Campground at the river in yosemite. Campgrounds have tables, a big bear locker and a fire pit. 40 min drive to the valley.
Only toilets are available and only one toilet has light at night. Dumpstation, water and a small supermarket are in wawona 1 min away.

The campground was beautiful, and the bathrooms were super clean. The camp host was so lovely and knowledgable. We plan to go back next spring

Great campground. Very peaceful and beautiful. Campground spaces are farther apart than other campgrounds in the valley. Wawona campground provides a great camping experience!

I loved this campsite! It is right next to the river and has decent privacy. Walking distance to the bathroom and water spout.

Beautiful south fork of Merced River. But had people arriving after dark setting up tent with kids. And smoky campfire requiring me to close windows at bed time. Better free Boondocking on OHV dirt road south of Fish Camp.

We loved our campsite with water view and easy to set up tents. Loved the size of our campsite and enjoyed the kindness of NPS staff.

I liked the location of the ground by the river. It was nice to listen to in the evening. I just wish I was not in the first part where RV's with their generators were located. They all turned them off at the appropriate time, but when they were running, they were quite loud. It was very convenient to get to the dinning room at the hotel and to the Sequoia grove.

I enjoyed the site because we were nestled at the back of the campground. We also enjoyed being so close to the river, which felt like our own private area to relax. I only wish I could have stayed longer!
