Loop B was quiet and more secluded than Loop A or C. Beautifully located next to the creek, we had a great time.

L’emplacement est vraiment très joli, situé le long de la rivière. Très beau ciel étoilé.

Campsite 66 is just across the road from the river. A big open site with views of the sky. The campsites right across (70s) are right on the river and superior. Wawona is a great campsite and if you can't get reservations in Yosemite valley a good option to be near Mariposa Redwood grove and 45mins from the valley.

Overall campsite was not bad. Clean bath room, good location near yosemite and river right next to it. But the site we were in was next to major hwy hence very noice with car traffic. Almost like tenting in car pool lane. So get the site away from the road

Notre emplacement était très bien (064), mais nous sommes passés devant pas mal d'emplacements très étroit. On est un peu les uns sur les autres par rapport aux autres campings que nous avons fait. Certains sont en bords de chemin (passage constant), très proche des WC ou des poubelles et ils sont calibrés tout juste pour la taille (avec notre RV de 25 ft nous avons eu du mal à ne pas dépasser sur la route, même après avoir correctement manœuvré).

Volunteers were very helpful and kind. Restrooms were clean and campsites well presented. We hope to return some day.

The location of the campground is perfect, away from the hustle and bustle of the valley but close enough that it doesn’t take long to drive in. Sound sensitive folks just be aware if your site is close to the main road you will hear cars all night & it can be fairly loud.

A very clean, quiet and neat campground with a large enough campsite.
