Wawona Campground

Nice and quiet. Near the the river. Clean restrooms. Friendly staff.

Wawona never disappoints! I have been camping here for over 60 years, my parents brought me as a child and I have continued the tradition. A little trouble with yellow jackets this year but weather and water were wonderful.

Very nice campground next to a boulder strewn river. Sites are fairly close together. It was a good option since we could not get sites in the valley but the drive to the valley is full of switchbacks and takes 45 min to drive. Would highly recommend driving up to glacier point on your way to or from the valley.

The parking area for our campervan was quite small, and on the road, which resulted in a lack of privacy.

This campground is a fun spot.

I would say this is a fine campsite, but it is a little bit closer to the camp road than most campsites and there may be other sites that are more ‘fun’ (like closer to the river).

There were no issues related to camp road proximity, and the site was a comfortable, yet close distance to the bathrooms. The toilets are flush toilets.

Some of the other reviews talked about the parking spot being too small for 2 cars but it was large enough to (barely) accommodate an XC60 and a CRV. We were also able to fit two 4-person tents and a 2-person backpacking tent. 4 camp chairs fit snugly around the fire ring.

The campsite is a 35-40 minute drive from the valley but you pass the entrance to glacier point and an astounding lookout on the way. It is also very close to Mariposa grove (giant sequoia trees).

There is a very quaint store called Pine Tree Market on Chilnualna Falls Rd that has a surprising array of foods, snacks, alcohol, and conveniences. They even had homemade(?) sausage that looked quite good (did not buy).

The local stores tend to run out of firewood (at least when I was there, but based on the number of campers buying wood for fires) so I would recommend foraging for firewood from fallen trees/branches. We were able to find plenty of dry, dead wood inside the park, but it is also an option to drive up Mount Raymond Rd near Fish Camp.

Beautiful spot to camp, large spaces and bathroom was exceptionally clean.

We have been camping in Yosemite since early eighties but since we moved up above Oakhurst near Bass Lake we haven’t been camping in about Seven years . This time we got Campsite 11 A on the river and absolutely had a great time in fact we will be going up again in Oct . Nothing like camping Yosemite.

Our campsite was nice , beautiful scenery. We went in September so weather was nice as well. We will definitely be going back.

Great location nice rangers, clean and safe place

I did not enjoy this campground at all. I read the sites were "spaced out" but what they don't say is the whole place is flat with no trees so you and the other campers are just staring at each other. I stayed in Crane Flat the night before and the sites have more privacy. Wawona is right by the road and i could barely hear the crackle of the campfire with the number of cars driving south until almost 10pm. So many cars. This was not a holiday weekend. Would not recommend this campground or stay here again.
